how low will my 3 go?!

[sumixali]

first i just wanna say that im not trading my car in for an MS3 anymore so

the 2007 3i needs to drop, alot.
i cant find any springs or good coilovers that drop far and i know slamming it would kill the drive but i wanna be atleast 2.5 to 3" lower if i can do that haha

help! please!

 

[Gothkid]

you want it to look slammed? u live by me, we have a lot of hills and bumbs, you sure you wanna do that? im going 1.5"s and thats gonna be scary enough/

 

[sumixali]

not like rubbing the road but i miss being closer to the ground haha i will prolly settle with 2in drop but i wanted to scope out some options.....you should join us tonight at the riverside meet. we can meet up and roll in together

well if you want lower than 2" you will have to go with coilovers....
2" u could go with tein s-techs (1.8 front, 1.5 rear) or eibach sportlines (1.8 all around)

 

[sumixali]

thanks! i cant find a good set of coilovers that im super content with haha any suggestions

 

[thejeans]

im looking at getting coilovers this fall and have narrowed mine down to either Tein's or BC's.... based on how they perform and the price they are...

 

[sumixali]

yeah those are the 2 ive been looking at most, i want to know more about H&R coils and the megan racing coilover

 

[Aaron23]

Has anyone heard anything good about NEX SS coilovers?

 

[sumixali]

nothing but im hearing nothing but great things about megan racing coils and they are alot cheaper than most

hell, get some airbags and you can lay it on the ground when you want and then drive away fine with it up.

meagan coils it is for me... once i hit that stage.... i couldnt be happier with my megan springs.... 2in drop all the way around for less than $200.

 

[Aaron23]

All you need now are the SPC adjustable camber arms.

 

[c.smock]

im rly not having any camber issues

Sweet! Did you have the springs installed professionally?

 

[c.smock]

i looked for a while but couldn't afford coilovers... then i came across the skunk 2 springs... they advertise a 2.25" drop, but it was at that thefirst day i lowered it and as soon as it settled it was more like 2.5-2.75 it looks really good and handles very well. i say the ride isn't very bad but maybe thats bcause i like it to ride like a race car. (thinkbeer

 

[sumixali]

well i just got mazda speed accessory springs for a amazing deal...and those are advertised as what 0.6 inch drop? i ended up getting almost 2.5 inches out of them after they settled!
pics soon i swear haha

but thanks alot i really appreciate it do you have any pics?

 

[thejeans]

the ms acc. springs are about 1.25... if you got dropped double that there is something wrong with your springs

i want to see pics of yours now, and wanna see pics of slammed3's car as well

 

[c.smock]

sumi's car is pretty even with mine and mines dropped on megan 2" springs riding 18's
