ok so i bought a tokico hp suspension package, shocks and springs, the springs only lowered the car 1.4 in then front and 1.5 in the rear. it looks ok but i want to go alittle lower since upgrading from 14inch rims to hopefully 15's but might have to go with 16's, it iwll raise the the car up. this is what it looks like now so any suggestions on good springs would be great ..thanks




and the rear tire gap i really hate

 

that looks like stock....did you cut your bump stops?

 

yes, i had then installed at a shop, by the one and only person i will ever let near my car with a wrench.. he even called tokico and talked them about bump stops and all of that... would a coilover kit work with the hp shocks, or if i go lower do i need to get stiffer shocks? i just want to make sure i do this right...this time that is

btw sorry about the size of the pics i dont know how to make them smaller

 

did u put one of those riser suspension kits on???? that loooks higher than stock

 

hahaha im not a red neck, only trucks look good lifted here is a pic of the stock ride height

wtf

 

dude, i have s.techs and illumina's.. you dont need to cut your bumpstops on the 90-93 tegs. my **** settled down to 2.25-2.5" drop.. and no bumpstop problems yet

 

thats what the instructions said and also what the person at tokico said when my friend called them, i would like to get it to sit 2 fingers from the top of the tire when i have 15's on and i would like to know what would the best springs would be to get ..

 

i think u should up to 15'' wheels and lower with h&r race springs or something to lower more....ur car looks unusually higher

 

IMO your car looks ugly as ****!

 

you know i made this post to get info on springs and suspension ****, i didnt post how does my car look, did i? NO , i know my car doesnt look as good as every one elses, i have plans for that but right now i want to get what i have done it to the way i like it, then i will move on to cosmetics

come on ******* give him advice or nothing at all.

 

also um ive heard that when you lower your car 2 or more inches that there are things that need to be replaced , ie. tie rods, ball joints, if this is true is there anything else. i really dont want something to snap and i go shooting off the road or into traffic

 

ive been lowered 2.5 for 2 years with stock everything even struts i jusst blew a balll joint today but that was my fault i forgot a cottor pin.

 

i wouldnt even sweat it...my cars slammed lika mthu ***** (not gloatin or nuttin). my only advice...if you do...get a camber kit and alighnment...tie rod and ball joints gonna be fine...

 

kool thanks for the help..

 

2in drop will be good
it left me with 2finger tight fit
with 16's

 

**** that Tony, go lower! Get some coilovers, either sleeves or full. And then play with the height and once you like the height, get an alignment.

 

maybe you just have to wait and let it settle

 

if it does settle i think it already has man ive those springs on there well cant remember exactly but i can tell you thhis its been 4 months prolly longer

 

get tanabe DF210 springs (they have bumpstops meant for the springs included)... its a 2-2.5 in drop had those on 2 cars

 

got pics, i dont want springs that look good when they first get put on, then they settle and it way to low to be of any use
