SPRINGS!!!!

 

what brand springs i dont wanna be scrappin ima big man with big freinds lol. also its an auto shift **** not needed lol.

 

You could do Tein H-Techs or Tanabe NF210's, even TRD's don't give you too much drop.

And you can do an auto shift ****. Here's mine:

ill have to check it out i know this local race shop sells a brand called dropzone but not sure if its any good basically paying for the name? and thats a clean shift **** how hard was it to do and time spent?

 

never heard of that brand at all

 

I've heard of Dropzone, not sure how big of drop that is though, but if your running 15", even with a 2" you'd be fine, unless your running 8" rims at 0 offset. the shift **** was about a 2 on a scale of 1-10. took about an hour to do. i just changed it though yesterday, i have the boot over the silver bezel now.

 

Just get a set of DF210s and call it a day. Lowering the car should be one of the first things you do.

If you drop it only a little, you'll soon be buying a new set of springs. Trust me, I'm on my 3rd set. Do it right the first time.

 

^x2

Drop it once and be done with it. Its really not that much of a hassle driving around that low.

 

if you dont want to much drop the rs*r springs are pretty good...i scrap a few times on the front but i can still load my car..the only reason i have a issue is because the wheels i run so i had to roll my fenders..

 

how much drop does you and your friend's current body mass produce?

 

The hotchkis springs are another good one to look at. they give you a little ove 1 1/2 inch drop.

 

well my main boy is 6'6'' 390 i mean i aint worried about being tooo low just wanna safe low cruising drop

 

holy cow! they don't even make people that big here. so 4 of you together in the car is probably at least 1200lbs? considering the vehicle weight to load weight, i wouldn't go lower than a 1" drop just to be safe.

 

My youngest is 295 lbs. , 6'7", add me 195, my newphew @165, his mother 310 ,and my 2 " drop and I don't rub, crab walk when they are all in for the mall over speed bumps but it works.

Just drop it and worry about scrapin if it happens, then adjust your driving style.

 

so springs are the way to go? thanks guys ima look to fnd a good deal and install them

 

yep...how could you show without a drop????????

 

Just drop and scrape. Throw some air ride on it and get some drag blocks made from Titanium. Gotta love sparks of a different color.

 

Some present pics might help. You have nothing in your profile.
Personally I like the H techs cause after they settle you are at 1.5 drop. Enough to tell it's lowered and none of the scraping issues.
