My car is lower in the front than the back, its really nasty, i always felt it, but i never really looked into it... but the 3s is heaver than the original engine and the car is lower in the front than the back. Iam gonna put on my new springs and shocks and if it still the same, iam gonna cut the back springs a tiny bit...
I figured all this when i realized the headlights dont extend far enough outwards... Mina |

Mina [right][snapback]260487[/snapback][/right] by "lower your high beams" you mean you're going to aim them lower right? also, if you're going to do that, i would suggest rewiring for 9006 in the high beams as well. that way all 4 are "low beam" wattage..so then you'll be sure to not blind anyone and/or get pulled over. also, as far as the front lower than the back, i have my car lowered w/ some GC coilovers, and they are dropped about all the way down, minus a couple turns, and the rear i think is lower than the front..unless the rear fenders are more shallow than the front, bc the top of the rear tire tread is tucked in the well, but the front is fully exposed... ::shrug:: that's of NO help at all..but w/e. EDIT: oh, and cutting springs...honestly, as long as you don't cut them in half, they will be fine. the only time that it gets dangerous is when you cut them so much that when they compress under load, they become shorter than the distance between the purches when the shock is fully compressed...that would make them come out of the perches, and cause some nice trauma. if you're only gonna cut them enough to drop the car an extra half-inch, there's really nothing to "worry" about. the ride may be compromised minimally, but if the visual problem is worth it to you to MAYBE feel a MINOR difference, then go for it. on the AE92 i had, i butchered the rear springs..and i never had a problem of them failing, or coming out of the perches, or anything. and i drove that car quite hard. also, the ride honestly wasn't that horrible. the rear was bouncy, but you gotta think, it was stock cut springs back there, compared to drop springs in the front... my 2cents. -------------------- |
