Sup guys, im looking for some ideas to drop my car, i want it more for look and some confort, im not a racer, what do you guys sugest me?

firstkingofbeer

how low you wanna go?

kinda low:
Tanabe NF210
TEIN H-Techs
TRD

good low:
Tanabe DF210
TEIN S-Techs

Crazy low or anywhere inbetween:
K-Sport Coilovers
D2-Coilovers
C8 Coilovers
Air Ride

for the cost, tein s-techs are just the obvious win for most low and decent ride. if you have the money though, coilovers are best. i just installed my c8's and im just fine tuning now. great amount of low.

firstkingofbeer

dont the c8s give you more drop than the ksports? or is it about the same

cubanoloko

Im planing to drop it like 1.7, i have to wait to gey my rims first.

If you only want to go 1.7 then go with the Tein H-Techs

the fronts go way low. the rear doesnt as much even with perches removed. i still need them to settle to see though. every time i look at them they seem slightly lower lol. big thing i like about the c8's was the addition of adjustable front sway bar end links, cause our stock ones are just way long. from what i see now its roughly the same. ill have pics up once i get my new wheels and rolled fenders.

to the OP, yea yelosub's on the money if you want that modest drop.

firstkingofbeer

yeah ive been trying to figure out which set of coilovers go the lowest.

ThisorThatxD

here's a teaser. wheel/tire combo is to big and they arent settled yet. this is a good baseline low right now.

firstkingofbeer

is that all the way down? or can you go farther down?

ThisorThatxD

all the way. rear collars removed. the front didnt need help going low, and i can probably go lower with it with the right adjustments (this is my first coilover experience). the rear needs to settle but it wont reach the same lvl as the front i dont think.

cubanoloko

How low are dropped there?

cubanoloko

And what size rims you have on thisor? Btw that looks raw bro, nice....imma get my rims in gold, prblly xxr 522, still dont know if to get 16" or 17"

ThisorThatxD

thanks bro. these are 17" with 205/50/17 tires. with a lower profile tire it would work, but as it is now im just rubbing hardcore. im getting 16" with 205/40/16. should fit nicely with less rub. plus im getting the fenders rolled so i can eliminate the chance of rubbing them.

cubanoloko

So you think that if i get 17s, droo it like 1.7, i shoyld be fine ?

ThisorThatxD

oh yea. i was dropped on tein s-techs with these wheels with no problem. that was a 2.2in drop.

cubanoloko

And whay size tire you use with the 17"? Sorry i ask too manu questions, i just wanna get the right stuff for my car..

MonkeyMonsoon

No one ever suggests Sportlines, but I love them. Decent drop w/o compromising too much ride quality. Been running them on one of my other cars for almost 5 years now, and my xD for almost a year...zero issues.

ThisorThatxD

205/50/17. its the suggested tire size to keep the overall diameter close to OEM.

cubanoloko

Is scion xd simple to drop? I mean is just to remove the springs and put on tje new ones? (not doing it my self) and around hoe much it cost to lower ot?
