Just wanted to hi first since this is my first post, but how much do you think i should lower my car????
3in front 2in rear

JTowe85 · 03-19-2005, 12:16 AM

well picture didnt turn out quite right bc i had to downsize it to fit.....

that's way to much of a drop. At the most, I would shoot for 1.5" drop on the car.

maybe an 1.5 in the front and 1.25 in the rear.

Don't go beyond 2", you'll start to mess up the geometry. 1.5" or so, would be good

Well i have like a 4in gap from the top of my tires to my fender well.... will lowering it 1.5 be noticeable???????

Yes, your gap would then only be 2.5 inches.

I have the same problem on my '95. I really want to lower now, however I want to do it with coil overs, for other benifits other than appearance, so I am having to wait until I have a little extra cash to do the coil over route.

Well im wanting to have about a inch of gap thats why i asked......

On my wife's convertible, the Kenny Brown springs dropped it less than an inch in the front and around 1.5 in the back. (IRS cars sit real high in the rear) Car looked very good.
