i expected it to be lower..

[Intruder]

Wheels are nice, but I think they're too big for our cars. Maybe 16"s?

[Clappy]

here is the only pic with my B+G's.. do you scrape at all? like your sidewalls with your fenders? or did you roll them.. that looks nice to me.. i hope mine will look like that when i get rims

[bruce95fmla]

I never scraped with my BG's .. I see what you mean though ..
Your damn car sits high as hell. I mean if you were going to cut , I would say no more than half to a coil in the front and a coil in the rear.
But make sure you test fit after cutting.
Would be better if we could get shorter shocks though .

This is what my drop looked like just after I lowered the car.

And this is what she looks like now, almost a year later.

I saw this show where they were lowering a car & they cut the bumpstop in half.why would you cut the bumpstop?I've decided to cut my springs so i get another 1"of drop.should be doing it soon.

[95ProLeila]

You were watching that show that will remain nameless *cough Tuner Transformation cough* weren't you? They said it was to allow for the proper travel. . . but they're. . . yeah. . .

[dodson3]

I think it was tuner tansformation,those guys are fags!....anybody know if cutting the springs a bit will have a dramatic affect on how the car rides?i figured i should probably ask before i go cutting.

Man even with the lowered suspension the car looks like a SUV in the rear. You guys even droped it 2.25" my Dropzone springs are gonna be only 2" with KYB GR-2 I guess it won't look lower but it might be stiffer. Oh wells. maybe...airbags? hahha low ride it. Should I get the coilovers instead for a 1-4" drop?

[magicfox32]

Here is what mine looked like before...


And this is with the coilovers afterwords.



I like em. That is with about a 2 inch drop, and im going another 1/4 - 1/2 after I install my KYB's (in about a week)

[95ProLeila]

Yeah, these results aren't typical. Mine definitely looked lower after I put the H&R's in, and they're only a 1.3" drop.

[magicfox32]

Yea same here.
I was surprised at some of the other pictures when they said they had dropped it. I am not sure what happened.

this is my car lowered with apex springs, 1.7 inchs

[95ProLeila]

my pics are linked in my sig, cardomain. Actually, I have pretty good before/after wheel well shots if I do say so myself.

edit: they're on page 3 if you're lazy

I was wondering if my springs will settle/drop a little bit the more i drive on them.i got the b&g extreme 2.25" lowering springs,kyb struts,& 17" rims on 40 series tires.I was expecting it to be lower than it is.they've been on for a couple weeks but I don't drive it much ,usually only on weekends when it's nice.[trying to keep the mileage down]

just so you know, keeping 40 series tires on 17 inch rims isnt keeping the factory overall diameter

those gigantic rims are making it seem like your car is so high
throw on the factory's and it'll be lower... and faster

[WTF]

B+G springs, take time...bump stoppers.

I have em in my Mazda 323, they take time to lower to the specs.

Also, make sure the correct torque was given to the long bolt that holds to the spindle. I went a little crazy in the torque and had to loosen mine cause was way off in torque specs.

Kits so low have heard need the bump stoppers to be cut or else the car instead of riding in the springs and struts will be riding in bump stoppers. Just my two cents.

But, yeah they do take time to settle.
