Batteries were pretty dead, so quality is not up there.

This is on jic's, rear seems higher, but it's probably because of my driveway.

nice pics man.

how many inches is the drop?

No idea, but at least it's fully adjustable ;)

edit: 26 1/2 " from ground to the lip of the front fender.

Any stock suspension people around willing to measure theirs?

looks good.

can I hijack with pics of my lowered 8

DO IT!!!!!! ;) ;)

i have a prog that can blend the 2 cars together.

Lol, I'd like to see that!!!

looks clean...take a picture with it from the side on a flat surface

I heard JIC drops up to 3"?

heres mine with eibach springs installed

sorry
bigger

crap
I messed it up

I'm a newb so what are JICs.. and what are the advantages of lowering? Dont it screw up your suspension?

Every lowered car I see bounces like crazy on the tiniest of bumps..

Maybe it's just the angle mikeb, but the rear looks lower than the front. Did you just change the springs or did you go with complete new units? And are they height adjustable?

the back does seem lower
they are not adjustable springs

27 1/2 inches front, 27 inches rear, both measured parallel to the center of the wheel.

Thanks Omicron!

So that's just an inch lower.... wow, guess I could go down a bit lower, but what good is a slammed car?

edit: 26.5 front 26 rear.

So that's only an inch lower right now. There's two autox's this weekend. I'll have to make some adjustments between the two and see what works the best.

thats pretty cool

What's the ride like on the Eibach's? Presumably that's just with springs fitted, and standard shocks?

Is it me, or does it look like it sits lower at the back than the front on the VelRed car?


-andy-

maybe it's the angle it was taken. they look real good! is there a pronounced change in handling?

That looks pretty good! How's the handling compare? Have you done struts yet?

Yes, please give us an evaluation of the change in ride and handling, if any.
