nice but.. how much was it lowered ??? heh
I honestly could not tell you how much it was lowered. I did a ton of fine tuning in order to get everything just right with no rubbing. All I can say is that it's 13 threads in the rear and 16 in the front

I'm running the comptech adjustables on stock shocks atm. I have been very happy with the ride quality and the handling. The OEM shocks are really quite good and unless you want a very stiff setup then this is a great option for anyone interested. I would do it again without a second thought.

I have about a 2" drop all around with my Buddy Clubs too. It does add some extra character to the car.

lowering the car makes a big difference, in performance and looks. stick with quality brands though, don't get cheap in this area.

kg/mm springs with koni yellow shocks are a great combo. if you can handle the extra stiffness(which is not much really) but with better performance, get the kg/mm race springs. otherwise stick wth the kg/mm supersports.

what size springs should you get ? i see a bunch of numbers like .8 kg/mm springs and some .85 kg/mm etc.... is there a certain one you need to get for a certain lowering height or is it just nothing?

those "numbers" you are talking about are the spring rates, which tells you how stiff the springs are. the higher the number, the stiffer they are. kg/mm race springs are 9k front / 10k rear, which is pretty stiff. kg/mm sports are around 7k front / 8k rear which make them slightly softer than the race springs.


espelir and kg/mm make exellent springs.
