if you drop the car very much without adjustable TA and relocation brackets for your lca's you'll probably be up **** creek

well the tq arm is there too and i was thinking if i lower the car i will have to get the relocation brackets but will the car be hook and book or still shitty .....need more input here come on guys

You can make a lowered car hook. Just make sure that the lowering springs in the rear are stiff so you don't unload the tires on the hit, and when lowered make sure the PA isn't thrown off (+ or -). As far as the front you need to find out the spring rate of these lowering springs. Some lowering springs have a higher spring rate so once lowered they won't transfer hardly any weight. And do not cut any coils to lower the car... that increases the rate.

well to be honest i'm not 100% sure what to tell you to do other than trying to get the suspension/chassis parts back to stock or close to stock angles to hook.... im going through hooking problems too right now...

i'll let everyone know what i figure out in my build thread of my car

as for the spring rate i dont even know yet what they would be do you or anyone know what the stock spring rate is .........isnt the rears like 175 ea and fronts like 500 or so......

cuz having the drag shocks in the rear and kyb agxs up front but this car needs to dropped it looks nasty and sits way too high but i dont want to sacrifice my 60 ft times at all
