I'm lowering my car soon..
When I was reading on the fourms awhile ago, I had read that this guys had lowered his brz 1.2" in the front and 1.4" in the rear, and I really like the way his car looked. The only problem is that I can't find 1.2 in the front and 1.4 in the rear, I've only found it vice versa. Can I use the rear springs in the front, and the front in the rear?

It's probably possible, but you shouldn't because the spring rates will be all fucked up. If you want to do 1.2 and 1.4", you should probably get a set of coilovers. Enkei Sportlines will do a 1.4" drop all around, but it's not good for the OEM struts. You could combine them with Bilstein B8 struts, but by then you're approaching coilover prices anyways. Might as well get the height adjustability you want from the start.

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't really want to do coil overs because it's expensive and my suspension isn't bad on my car. But what I'm trying to achieve by dropping it is a nice, clean look for when I throw some 18's on her. I want the wheel well gap to be gone, without dragging my front bumper around town, lol.

RS Super downs are close to what you are after. "RS-R S/Down 1.0"/3.2k 1.2"/4.5k" I wouldn't be surprised if they sag after some usage to 1.2" and 1.4" lower. If not..., slather some bacon grease on it. |
