Has anyone has problems with the car bottoming out ? I did at first (tonyrs90, first car on this page) then I got some spring stabilizers from JCWhitney.. These are rubber rings that go in between the spings and prevent them from fully compressing. Remember now that your springs are shorter your chances of having the spring fully compress and have the body/strut take take the impact of a large bump is very high,, this not good for your car...

Which kits are considered the best without getting TOO low?

A lot of people like the Eibach Pro-Kit, it'll drop the car about 1-1.5" depending on how much your current springs are sagging. Some people also like the Hotchkis springs...

The Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstein shocks/struts is a well proven combo well liked by many - it's what I'm gonna get...

The paint on the front is so badly blasted off by rocks and debre, I put a bra on it to cover it up. I am finally taking the time to finish my prototype hood, and building one out of fiberglass. I am then going to repaint the car. I painted it 7 years ago and it is over do.

best kit IMO is anyone that envolves putting bigger wheels on the car and then lowering the car to stock ride height...... then you have less to no fender gap, and you dont scrape anywhere....



i honestly dont see how some of these guys drive around...

Revlimit.

your using the GC system on your car correct?

are you using the ERS springs that they supply with their kits? and how much ride height ajustment do you have in both directions from where your car is sitting right now?

Kind of an odd angle, but mines lowered with Intrax. Whoever did it lowered it TOO far, and now the front wheel arm has the rest of the body laying right on it. something is gonna have to be done about it I think. It rides nice....but its got wheel problems....

cheers!
