    Lowerin time

    Ok this summer/spring/soon I will definetly be dropin the pro.

    The only thing is I dont want to put too much stress on my wheels. I already destroyed a set!
    I figure the reason the old rims were distroyed was because they bottomed out putting all the force on the wheel.

    I was thinking I could go coilovers, so that I can raise it in the winter and drop it to the floor in the summer. Sounds win win but then I realized that coil overs probubly dont work that way, because the spring constant is still the same.

    Next/Cheaper option was just a set of sprigs, definetly Tiens so I get the aggressive look. But will these be a problem in the winter?

    Now im probubly the only one that has ever distroyed a rim, but now I have much lighter rims most likley weaker as well.

    Anyone notice more bottoming out with there droped pros. Or is it less because the springs are stronger?

    Wat tire and wheels you have ?

    Coil over is always good in certain way because you can always drop and rise them up.

    Bottoming, you mean the tire hit the fender ?
    Because it can be one reason where your shock is dead. You can fell that bottoming felling.

      Possibly I have a set of 17"s on with the tire its the same size as stock.
      The tires are a set of nanking ns1's and the rims are some shu-4's

      By bottoming out I mean the feeling of the shock hitting its limit, I think, a hard thump where nothing is absorbed. Shock is dead you say that might be possible.

      Anyway do coilovers make the ride any diffrent from springs.

        You will feel the different if you push it to the limit, but nothing much you will fell.
        Other then that, i think you should get a new shock, probably tokico Hp, Illumina is also good but is more expensive.

          tokico hps are awesome if u wanna spend the money. KYB are half the price i think, but cant recommend something i dont use.

            yeah sounds like the struts are dead, have you been driving with drop springs with stock struts for a while? or is it all stock?
