if you adjust it you can get up to stock height, or a little lower. but why did you get coilovers if you still want a stock height?

hp coilovers? ive never heard of them

You should be able to get close to stock height. But why get coilovers and run at stock height?

well, i just want stock height in case i am going to an area that has a lot of speed bumps.

Well be aware that if you are going to adjust them then i would it for months at a time. Technically you need to get an alignment done each time you change the height.

No, if I remember correctly with the rings at the top your still down I think was either .75 or 1. The best way is try and avoid the speed bumps the best way you can, cause it's not like airbags where you hit a swith to raise the car you'd have to plan for where your going raise the car before going. If your worried about speedbumps then I woudn't even bother dropping the car cause even some entrance ways into certain places have a bigger lip then some speedbumps.

which coilovers?

for sleeved coilovers i recommend ground control or skunk2

for full coilovers i suggest getting B+G or Tein

i have B+G coilovers with a 2.25" drop, check out my ride section to see the drop

search for coilovers and it should answer your questions

Right on Weapon X thanx!
Any (sleeved or full) coilovers will work. I just wanna get a sweet drop (like yours! nice!) AND we Torontoians up here get snow so I'd like to raise my ride when winter swings around. Hopefully dude those B+G or Tein full coilovers are available up here in Toronto.

Where did you get them and for how much? I only saw one place online that sells them - for $1000. They look pretty nice...

i got mine off ebay for 90 bux. almost any coilover would work for our cars as long as you modify them right by putting an extra 3 inch sleeve on the front ones. but they are stiff and bumpy as hell so mybe i will cut some 96-00 springs and use that spring instead. this installment of the coils was a big diy for me

Oh - so you just got the "gen 1 coilovers" from HP racing than? I thought you bought the "gen 2 coilovers," which are actual full coilovers from HP (they have a matched strut with them). That's why the price diff.....But hey - that's cool.....

Hope they work out for you!! Congrats on installing them - eventually when I get mine I'll be in the same boat!

yeah, i just followed mex's diy and it took me about 3 hours. i had to buy a 3 inch sleeve for the front though, but i'm thinkin about replacing the shorter coils with the 96-00 front springs and removing the added 3 inch sleeves to make a "longer" spring for the coilover.
