Default Suspension choices for a 95 DB8

I am considering lowering my DB8 not slamming it. What combo and settings?

I have 195/50/15 Falken 502's

Post a pic of your DB8 with your set up!

Details!!!

I had a DB8 on D2s, they were very comfortable and was low whenever i wanted it. Def one of my favorite coils. and 15s are way to small for 4dr tegs.

I like. How did it handle on the freeway, high speed surface street?


Any comments on installation? What did you do to correct camber ?

It handled very nice on city and freeway speeds. Installation was easy, I had a buddy help though becuase it's not a one person job in my opinion. You would like to have another hand so they or you can step down on the rotors and what not so you can work the strut out. As for camber, I didn't have a problem with it at all. I didn't even get an alignment after, even though it's highly recommended. It rode straight as an arrow after install.

Koni yellows w/ H&R sport springs. Ride is perfect. height is perfect. no rubs at all. A little on the expensive side but well worth it especially with the adjustable shocks. riding on 205/50/15.
