Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

is it just me or how come my S techs look higher than a lot of other S techs? Stock shocks.
I'm on 17 inch rims. I have barely tight tip my 2 finger gap front and back. Is this supposed to be right?



here are some brighter pictures to see actual clearance




can't believe i drove around stock like this for 2 months!

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

Here is mine with Tein SS coilovers. I have about an inch gap both front and rear. The coilovers sagged a bit after the install and I had them adjusted a second time and now the drop is even.

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

so why does my drop on S techs look so high when other people on S techs have barely any gap? maybe just the angle of their pictures or their tires? how does having low profile tires make the gap more evident when the diameter of the wheel+rim is supposed to be the same?

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

blown shocks make the rear alot lower than it should be. alot of people here just put springs on stock shocks. my prokit was nearly slammed in the rear before i got the blues installed.

Yeah, unless your shocks are blown..is it bouncy going down the road?

Also..why are you fingering your car ...and you can't just jack it up and say this is how my car sat before I dropped it

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

it's not bouncy going down a flat road, but if the road is bumpy then i can feel it a lot more but thats because i guess its lowered and im on low profile tires. I finger it because i hope that with driving it'll sag a little bit but i do this constantly and people look at me as if I was having a good time with my car, but all i want to do is check to see if it settled some more or something.
hhaha sorry about the jack thing, that was a total joke.
