View Full Version : dropped on its NUTS! unlmtdndeavor 03-31-2004, 07:58 AM if u want to go real low, go with air suspension. if u want to use springs, go with a true coilover, cusco goes close to a 4" drop i believe Djuan 03-31-2004, 09:44 AM I'd like the medium height, since I got this jacked up steep driveway... scionxb04 03-31-2004, 10:25 AM pot holes and driveways are your friend when your dropped.... jonbee 03-31-2004, 07:08 PM low as possible! ftaxi138 03-31-2004, 07:28 PM if u want to go real low, go with air suspension. if u want to use springs, go with a true coilover, cusco goes close to a 4" drop i believe i'd rather stay away from air, but i'll check into cusco thanks! eric_m 04-07-2004, 07:46 PM ok there is a problem. i tried cutting the stock springs, and got the car super low. like 4.5" lower than stock. it looked awesome but turned out to be a nightmare because the front lip scraped on everything. there is just a limit to how low you can go before the lip becomes a burden. unless you don't care about the lip. technically you can buy a new front lip every year or so and just dump it as low as you want, but without air, there is only so far you can go. here is my car with 16" rota grid: http://eric.myimprezawrx.com/photos/albums/userpics/8-29c.jpg http://eric.myimprezawrx.com/photos/albums/userpics/8-29f.jpg and with 19" axis mesh 2s: http://eric.myimprezawrx.com/photos/albums/userpics/party-posse-xB.jpg also keep in mind that you can lower the car more with bigger wheels, since they raise the car off the ground more. when i got my 16s, i got really low profile tires, so i could go as low as possible. the car is about 3" off the ground in those pictures with the 16s and is still not low enough for me. but i've got some things i'm working on now and hopefully soon i will get as low as i originally wanted to. squirrel 04-08-2004, 08:58 AM if u want to go real low, go with air suspension. if u want to use springs, go with a true coilover, cusco goes close to a 4" drop i believe i'd rather stay away from air, but i'll check into cusco thanks! I think Ken (NCP31) is down around 3 1/2 inches w/ the Cusco coilovers installed. Check my Palo Alto pics link for pics. bBted 04-08-2004, 09:01 AM i think 2.5 would be a perfect drop 8) ftaxi138 04-09-2004, 06:37 AM Eric M. your scion looks bad ___ man its definatly on the ground.
