F3dzo · 08-15-2012, 09:31 PM

Please post a side view stock if you took the pic

That drop looks better than I expected, I'm installing mine tomorrow can't wait!

oldskule · 08-15-2012, 10:37 PM

Perfect ride height imo

JoeBoxer · 08-16-2012, 12:00 AM

Did you need camber bolts or anything to get it aligned?

I think I might need some for the black, getting some wheels first then getting aligned and all that good stuff

You know how you took a whole pic of the cat after it was lowered. I dont know if you took a pic of it like that before you lowered it. I know you took before pics but up close...

Is it required to have camber bolts when you lower this car? How do they work

86_ZN6 · 08-16-2012, 12:14 AM

Perfect drop!

But without the proper shocks, these will just blow your oem shocks in about 4000 miles just like what the sportlines did

F3dzo · 08-16-2012, 12:17 AM

Thanks, I read that tread, I think it was more of an install error then the springs themselves... but Ill take one for the team and let you guys know how things go

That explains why the suspension seems harsh after the installed. In most cases, the car seems to be critically damped with no oscillation.

While on some very bumpy roads, the tire seems to be not in contact with the road because the springs shorten the suspension travel.

What do you mean? Is it worth the trouble to lower on just springs and stocks? Or should someone just go directly to coilovers?

ERZperformance · 08-16-2012, 06:01 PM

Looks great I'm sure the ride is good also.

I was thinking about getting coils as well, but decided on springs. Not because im cheap or anything but simply because im not going to jack up the car every other day and change the ride height.
