Can the stock shock absorbers handle -35-40mm lowering?

QUOTE (Box @ Oct 11, 2013 - 3:21 PM)  If you know how to shop around springs and struts will come in at half of what the cheapest coil-overs cost. If you're happy with -1.5" go springs, if you want to drop more go coil-overs. I agree with box. I spent about $415 on eibach springs and kyb struts and mounts, which is half the cost of coilovers. Cheapest way is to buy it piece buy piece as you see good deals, and then install once you have everything. Takes patience this way though.. it took me 3 months to collect all the parts. The 1.5 drop is plenty good IMO. But I wouldn't do just springs unless you don't mind a really bumpy noisy ride. |
