PICS of lowered MSPs

[slug420]

i did a little search but im on dialup so loading 32898 diff threads takes forever, and besides that, im lazy.

so.

post pics here of your lowered MSP along with what springs/coilover you are using. Also, im lowering for looks but would like to compromise my handling as little as is possible, so any input on which springs will make my car handle worse than im now used to would be appreciated too.

no pics of spools are needed since thats what im going to be replacing and please make sure the back of your car is in the pic so i can see what that drop looks like.

thanks!

The only problem with trying to figure out how your handling will change is that we don't have the spring rates for all of the available springs.

I was looking at TEINs, but then I saw some people who had them & the rear looked like it didn't drop at all. They are also supposed to be softer than stock.

Then I figured Eibachs might be good, but I didn't know if the Pro Kit or Sportline would be better.

You already know why I'm not interested in Spool & I've never really liked any of iON's products.

Currently, I'm interested to find out more about H&R since there is almost no info on them.

i plan to get gc coilovers or possibly full jic or tein coilovers.....someone here has a dropped msp on gc coilovers

Yeah, it's 03Speed...he lives here in Orlando.

you can never go wrong with eibach's...especially the pro-kits. of course, if you beat on your car, you will break your struts if you aren't careful. also, if you lower your car, you will need shorter shocks eventually, it is only a matter of time before you break em, trust me

Damn that Black Mica looks mean. I swear its saying, "I'm gunna **** you up!"

 

[RyanJayG]

they look good, but that low on tokicos is a stiff ass ride, on the stock P5 struts it not nearly so bad.

 

[03MSPRO]

what's wrong with Spool's?

rear

front

eibach pro.... I havnt gotten around to taking daytime shots yet.. but it lowers the front a good 2-3 fingers.. the rear didnt go down a whole lot.

 

[SuperSpud]

forgot the last rear shot

 

[SuperSpud]

ah I love black mica...

 

[AutoBox]

is there anything out there for rear camber adjustment for our cars? im lookin at jic or tein full coilovers next summer and i need rear camber arms or else the drop is gonna sux!

 

[slug420]

just to make sure......good coilovers are like 2k right?

ion race spec - are these your lowest or stiffest springs or what? i know u have 2 diff ones. Also, if i buy a set of 200 dollar springs from you, i get a 2000 dollar BBK at half price right? right?? special promotion?

anyone with H&R or Tein?

eibachs pros dont look a whole lot lower than stock, ions dont look as low as my spools in the front, but that could be because the back is so low whereas im used to seein my stock back with the dropped front.

hmmmm....

TEINs

remember, they are apparently softer than the Racing Beats

 

[INGREXCO]

what would happen with a softer spring?

 

[low_psi]

w00t, canton in the house! i lived there for almost half my life

a softer spring will give you a smoother ride but decrease handling.

 

[iON Performance]

slug420 - We only have 1 style of springs for the MSP. They're these ones. 1.625" F and 0.75" R. Generally repeat customers get first crack at pre-sale deals

INGREXCO - A softer spring will make your suspenion become over dampened. Generally ride quality will be less "harsh" however, body roll as well as weight transfer increase L to R and Front to Rear.

iON what are the spring rates for your MSP lowering springs? If I lower I'll be doin it for handling not looks (looks are a bonus )
