oh i like it thanks man, hows the driveability scraping wise?

 

I got s-tech's also, and they settled like most others with s-techs. Being the rear is higher than the front.

BUT, my discovery is when a vehicle is 100% level sitting still, while driving 80% of the time the rear will be tucking more than the front.

A friend of mine said when I take off, the rear on my s-techs are a tiny bit into the wheel well, but when cruising it matches the front perfectly.

Plus with a full tank the rear matches the front even better. Full tank + hatch full of groceries + 4 passengers = Slammed. <3

 

With progress I didn't have many problems with scraping. i was able to hit most dips without slowing down like crazy and without angling into it.

S-techs still don't give me many problems, but I do have to angle through some dips..

 

o aha so u gotta angle thru bumps n stuff too huh. doesnt that lip kit decrease clearance too?

 

Yep. I took it off about a couple of weeks ago though.

You decide which springs you're going with yet?

 

lol hmm ill assume no1 cares that we are off topic , but anyway. yeah ive decided to get s-techs. gonna order it withing a week or two. Actually planning to do the install myself, since suspension installs are too expensive. Im actually planning to also buy the oem lip kit. why did u take it off? was scraping really that bad? I assumed it wouldnt add such a DRASTIC clearance reduction since u gotta cut the stock bumper anyway right.

 

Just sold it to a friend cuz I needed the money anyway..

But no, you don't cut the bumper..Who told you that? You dremel holes in it. But if you don't really want to you don't have to.. Just find places to bolt it down on the ends of it.

 

oh okay. cool thanks. yeah for some reason i thought u had to cut the bumper, cuz it looks like it goes in hella flush, and covers the bottom part of the bumper. So S-techs with a lip kit, is okay for driveability?

 

more than okay.

 

more than okay? well thats perfect to hear, ok im set. Thanks joe. Peace

 

For those of you that had the progress springs, was the spring rate to tight? was the ride really bouncy? how much do you need to cut from the bump stop? or is that in the directions when you get your springs? thank you.

 

I cut my bump stops in half. The ride was just fine...

 

Thanks.

 

dude is it bad if they werent cut? becuase idk if they cut them when they installed them.......?

 

No all it does is allow your car to settle a bit more thus making it a bit lower.

 

Oh really, i dint kno that. so cutting bump stops arent necessary? The instructions my tiens came with were so confusing about the bumpstops. half of it isnt even in english. Planning to install springs myself sumtime soon. Hope it isnt too hard.

 

I'd say cut them. Along with many other people..

 

howd u guys cut them , if u installed it yurselves? a dremel?

 

a knife... it's pretty much foam.

 

ahh, thought so. Pardon my stupid post. For some reason thought they wer made out of the same material as the spring.
