Anybody care to share pix of their lowered 8? I'd be interested to see the comparisons....thx!

Very NICE ! Thats the hottest green i'v seen.

 

neener neener...i can go lower

the green 8s look good next to trees. I wonder if they are more common in the pacific north west.

 

I wouldn't go to low, it messes up the balance of the car, my friend is lucky to be alive after lowering his car to much, hit a corner and due to it being unstable because of it, his back end came right out and into a highway sign.

 

SO! Which springs/wheels are these?

 

the lower the better :D

 

and you drive it like that right? :D

 

I'm pretty sure those are ADR Cyphers.

 

Thats kinda funny, I've never seen a green one up here, but it does look good

 

funny that im from the northeast.


they are adr cyphers and they are sprint springs.

i have since changed them to eibach pro kit. the sprints were too low in the front and i was having issuse with low parking lots and speed bumps.

 

here are a few more witht the new eibach kit

front:

 

What's the size/depth/offset of your wheels?

Yeah, sprint springs are unbeleivably low. Do you feel the handling is better with the eibachs? Car looks great, good job.

 

Hey guys....you know, what mirricleboy says isn't so much ****. I lowered my car as far as possible given the offset of my rims, then went on a hell bent for leather trek through Malaysia and my butt end was all over the friggin place in the corners, and I have Hipermax II's installed. Forget how low you can go in terms of looks...the question is how low can you go in terms of performance?

 

I know a fair bit about slaming a car down low, im very into the V dub scene, Euro style, the whole thing is to get it as low as possible, i have seen cars lowerd 80mm, now thats low.

these are around 60-80mm drop, on a polo, 80 is about as low as you can go with out your car handeling dangerously.

I know they are totaly difforent cars but the principle of good handeling still applies

 

if you read the rest of my thread you will see that I had the front right part of my car turned up my driveway ramp. I have the HKS hipermax II coilovers, ride height and dampening can be adjusted. When on flat surface there is a tight 1 finger gap from the top pf the tire to the fender....

 

The size of the wheels are 19x 8.5 all around with an offset of 35 I think.

I love how it handled with the sprint springs but I live near a bunch of speed bumps and stores with low parking lots. The eibach has worked out just fine but I just wish the front were a little lower.



\thanks by the way
