Going Low

I was wondering before I order springs i had a question. If i get the same drop on all 4 will the back sit lower then the front? So should i get like a 1.75 in front and 1.5 in the back to make it sit even?

i think it'll be fine either way. I think the front sits a little lower in the front stock anyways. If your really concerned, you might as well get some neuspeed sport springs. Its 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear. I have them on my ride and i love them.

They still leave a 2 finger gap but then again its a daily driver. The little extra drop in the front does give you a little extra handling since most of the weight in our cars is in the front, but it does make your ride really bouncy on dips if your on stock shocks

My rear dropped lower than the front on my car from the sec they were on, no settling, nothing. I have goldlines, 1.75" all around. more like 2"+. But after I put the turbo kit on my car, it seemed to drop the front some more, so its a little mroe even, and definately better handling. The added weight/lowered gravity up front seemed to help a lot??

If you want it to look even, get a lower drop on the front. here is a pic of mine.




there is no finger gap in the rear, and there WAS about 1.5 finger gap in the front before, now its about half-1finger gap.

if you are concerned, i would say go w/ neuspeed as well, I love mine, thought it is a little bouncy, nothing huge, just a little noticable on realy bad roads... I live in the country, so I notice it, but when im in town, smooth sailing... though I for somereason have been getting a squeeking/creaking noise from my rears, Im not shure I have my rear shocks set right... not shure...

okay i found them, so 1.75" in the front and 1.5" in the back, will that be too low? I don't want my wheels to tuck at all. I want them to be about 1 to 1.5finger. Give or take a little.

i dont think its so much that the front sits lower as it is that the rear wheel wells hang down a bit more... for example bmw 3 series, the rear wheel always get tucked up in the wheel well (look at the racing versions) whereas the front tires are about even with the wheel well, despite an even drop.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33586

What would be better? Tein S-tech lowering springs, 1.3 f 1.4 R or the neuspeed sports?

Well my springs just came in and i opened the box and to my surprise the rears are red and the fronts are yellow, is this right? I thought they were all the same color? There isn't anything wrong with them is there?
