Just installed this setup with the help of a buddy on friday. Here are my impressions:
The ride is now VERY harsh. Way firmer than stock. Normally I am tolerant of firm suspension, but just driving to the grocery store kills my back. Everyone who has ridden in the car thus far complains ![]() The car is only about 0.5 inches lower all around as of today. I'm assuming there is a break in period for new springs to settle. The car feels much tighter and more responsive, at the cost of ride quality of course. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by flyinglizard: Oct 20, 2009 - 9:04 PM |

yea thats really a big gap. I would get lower springs or coilovers and drop it lower. your profile is too skinny, been there done that, you should have gone 225/40. or 215/45. big tires won't look good at that height, you need to drop it lower. imagine your car height is still high from the drop and then you put bigger tires and makes your car more higher, you need to compensate a bigger tire with a lower drop unless you dont mind your car higher. for your springs you should have gotten Intrax or TRD. I even tried them both on blown struts and they were pretty good even with 205/40
