The axle angles on my car didn't really change all that much. There are some pretty bad pictures around here for people who've dropped so the tires are tucked behind the body lines and I don't know how they drive around without losing bumpers and smashing the frame rails.

I think I’m going to do 2 inches max after measuring. Going to get whiteline lower control arms to fix the camber and hopefully my axles wont be too bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm not sure if the whitelines come with anything extra special but I got the SPCs and they look identical but in black. I read somewhere that the Moog ones they have on RockAuto are also identical for even less. Camber will do good things in the rear but toe will need to be addressed. You should have enough room in adjustment to most likely be okay.

Deciding on coilovers and springs
Quote:
Got messaged about a set of used RSR sports with 8k miles on them. Im thinking about moving on them, but idk if buying used on this is a good idea or not. The adjustment range on them would keep me out of trouble with breaking stuff lmao. What would a decent price to get them for be? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Imo buy new. All springs age and warp differently. Buddy's driveway could be sloped or the parking spot isnt even. Depends on your goals, I suggest to focus more on the weight of the spring. 8k springs like bc racing brs or hks hipermax sp is meant for track and it starts to get really brutal for daily. Took me a while to get over how stiff the car rode after. If youre just chasing fitment and dont really care about performance tein flex z are good budget option with lots of adjustment. Get ready to spend hella dough on LCAs and other fitment related mods. Fortune500 are solid too.

Here come the bump stops. Know a guy who ran autox, track and commuted his. He kept the OEM suspension specs within millimeters for height even though he ran coils and many more mods to provide wider camber adjustment range.
He turbo'd it to 275whp and bought wider wheels and larger diameter tires. It looked lowered as it took care of the wheel well gap look. He had to retard timing in first and second to keep from breaking loose too easily with good summer tires like the Advan AOD8s I bought from him in stock sizes. Just sharing why I'll stick with near stock height. I'd lower an inch myself for a try, that's about it. As low as OP started thinking, that seems like airbag zone to me. |
