Car lowered at last!

[novAKs47]

Well, despite suspension noise, my car is finally lowered! 2" front and rear, Tockico HP's, Sprint springs. Enjoy the pics(and my messed up bumper where you can plainly see where the plate was)

Is it just me, or does the car not seem that much lower? Could be just the pictures though. Maybe if you posted up a good side shot of before and after we would be able to see the drop better.

How do the Sprint springs feel?

The pics don't do it justice. It does look lower in person. Unfornutaly, I have no good before pics. I'll see if I can find them anyways. The Sprints feel pretty good all around. They're not soft, but not harsh either. It's kind of hard for me to tell, because I upraded the shocks too. I think it doesn't look too much lower to some, because they're eyes are mislead by the rake still being there. The back end really didn't drop too much, but I think that's due to the higher pressure Tokico's being on there. The front is way lower though, I assure you. lol I had to lift up on the front fenders to remove the floor jacks.

99 pro, he has pretty small wheels and tires on, so it still has a fairly large wheel gap. some nice 16's or 17's would set that car off, IMHO.

What kind of noise is it making?

looks nice man! although it doesnt look like its 2'' drop......

As Brian said, what kind of noise are u experiencing? Is it a clunk from rear by any chance?

There's also a thread on the noise over at Mocc. It's my upper mounts. No biggie, I'll just replace 'em some day. Believe me, it is a 2" drop. I measured the gap before and after. And it does look lower in person. And my wheels shall stay forever. lol I don't like larger wheels, not to mention the increased cost of tires(not much, but an increase none the less). And wheel gap doesn't bother me much at all. I look at how low the car is in relation to the ground. To each his own, though. (rockon)

Word. All that matters is that you like it.

It might still settle.

It might still settle.

That's what I was thinking as well. Those HP's are definitly stiffer than the other OEM ones(KYB's?).

woot! Always nice to see someone happy with their new drop. I know I love mine... hp's and tein s tech. It never gets old when you walk out to your car in a parking lot and see how nice the wheels just tuck in perfectly. Keep up the good work!

I hear that! (thumb) I was admiring my car all day yesterday while I was out shopping. Every time I walked out of a store, I would think to myself, "Damn that looks so good". lol
