Aight look... Ive gotta 94 sol and i wanna drop it about 3.5 inches... All tha coilovers ive found only go to about 2.5 - 3... If i put a body kit on it 2.5 inches would be fine but i like tha stock look so withouta bodykit i wanna slam it... Anyone kno of any good coilovers that would drop it 3.5 - 4 inches... Thanx...

why would you want your car that low unless its just for car shows. you will be scraping and tire rubbing w/o trying. you can barely get a sol to drop to 2.5" w/o rubbing or scraping. trust me i know.

See thats why i love this forum... It took 2 minutes for me to change my mind... I was really just looking for suggestions... I just figured a 3 inch drop would handle better than a 2 inch drop... Ill just go with 2.5...

Most coilover sleeves can get you lower than you will probably want to be once you drive around for a while on them. Just make sure you get aftermarket struts as well, because your stock struts are meant to fuction at the stock ride height...they will blow in a short period of time with coilovers.

it will be safer to just go with like a 2" drop. anything lower than that, you better have fender flares for no scraping or rubbing.

yeah EG guys, sols are like friggin dune buggies when they are stock...a 3 inch drop will get you to the top of tires...2.5 leave a 2-3 finger gap, i've seen many like that in person. Coilovers are IMO the best way to go if you are unsure about ride height....you can adjust them all you want!
