I know at one point I saw info on lowering springs that gave a 3.0 inch drop but I cannot find it again. Anyone know?

 

coilovers or tanabe 2.2/2.0" springs. No 3" however unless you cut them

 

and you can't cut the rear springs, unless you want them falling out of your car

after my tanabe df210's settled, it seems like it's about a 2.5" front drop and a" 2.1 rear - took over 2 weeks to settle, but it seems lower than 2" all the way around.

 

i think hks made some but i'm not sure.

 

Somebody's done it already but it's bad for the springs. Someone is running the tanabes and the did the thing were they really heated up the coils, now they have 2.75" all around. When it was next to all the guys at the show, it was noticably lower

 

the only way to get 3" or lower is to get coilovers or bags....eric m. is sellin his bags 4 1500....i'd buy them if i had the cash

 

i bet those heat treated tanabe's ride great too, man that's one way to totally destroy the ride of your car - ghettoooooooo!

you want low? get air or coilovers if you want the look and a decent ride, there's just no other way!

 

you want low, check these rides out:

you can click on each ride for more pics......make sure to check out the Silverado and the Suburban....

 

It's really not a good idea to go any lower than 2.8" with stock shocks and struts because you will have no more travel, and your car will ride VERY poorly. That's why the lowest most aftermarket springs from Japan (and remember, they've had these cars for several years more than us, and are usually more critical of doing things correctly) go is 55mm, which comes out to right about 2 1/8" down.

 

ScionVan...yeah, if I found a 3.0" drop spring then it would definitely be paired up with some other suitable suspension mods. I just thought I rememberred reading about some and wanted to find out.

 

if u have 1400 bucks i know a way u can drop it from 1"~4" no problem..
after all.. AIRic is parting out his ____ =)

 

for the best and lowest ride height, a full coil-over system will be the way to go.

 

How low can you go on a daily driver, yet have a ride that performs 100x better than stock but rides just as smooth?


:)

 

HOLY SHYT!!!!

 

that phone looks like it is ~4.5 inches! man, that is pretty low!

what suspension is on that xB ScionVan?

 

van,

is that m@'s pre-5zigen wheel?

i wish i could go that low without air

but i'd never make it into my parking garage, i barely have 1/2" clearence with my tanabe's right now!

looks siiiiick tho, what's the suspension he's running? i'd imagine some high dollar coil-overs right?

 

I heard a rumor that you can use lowering springs for a Toyota Matrix to get a 3" drop on the xB... Possible?

 

That would be nice... anyone got some verification on this?



Doc

 

cant get 3" drop unless u have coilovers, or unless you get a lucky pair of df210's or goldlines that sag to 3"..... i have goldlines and i hate them, i like them, but they rusted on me, so im getting progress coilovers, best bang for the buck..
