Currently my car sits on a set of older BMR springs that are marked INTRAX. I'm not sure exactly of how much lower the car is, but it's lower than stock. I have a set of Koni 4/3's on the car, as well as BMR sway bars front and rear along with an adjustable pan-hard rod.

I have the front Koins set on the upper perch, so I can lower it another 3/4-1" up front, and then I can do the hose mod in the rear as well which should lower me an inch back there.

As you can see below, it's on 19s and I rarely ever drive the car anymore, mainly to work and back once every month or less and to some local car shows and hangouts in the summer. As of now, I've driven it less than 400 miles since August 1st of last year. So a harsher ride isn't too much of an issue to me.

Here's what it looks like now:


And another shot of it in the air so you can see a better ground clearance shot...


So simply from an appearance standpoint, should I do it? Has anyone else done a similar setup with lowering springs and removed the rear isolator and gone with the lower setting on the front KONI's?

 

I think it looks badass the way it is! The stance looks perfect IMO....well maybe the rear could be a little lower??

 

Looks good! You have a lift in your garage??

 

Yeah the rear could be a little lower but the rest is fine!

 

Thats the lowest I would go

 

Hose mod and be done. I would never come out of my garage if I had a lift.

 

Yes, I got tired of laying on my back to work on it. We're having a ceiling raising party the Memorial day weekend and then I'll be able to park another car under it and lift it fully to 6'.

 

Its recommended by Koni to only use the lower perch with stock springs. I would think that you would really be limiting your suspension travel if you lowered the car any more. It looks great as is.

 

Thanks for the copliments guys, it helps. I've been bummed recently because I haven't been able to drive the car much because I take my son back and forth to the sitters everyday, so it's a rare occasion that he stays home with my wife and I get to drive it. I've even contemplated selling the car because I don't drive it much and haven't had much time to work on it either. It's tough with a 16 month old son who wants to touch everything and help Daddy use his tools and my wife's also 7 months pregnant.
Part of the reason for the lift was to get it out of harms way of kids toys and hands.

Thanks guys for all the compliments.

 

I say leave it. It looks Good As is IMO. If you really want to, maybe the hose mod in the rear, but thats about it.

 

It's perfect the way it is. I've seen people put it on the lower perch, but it's not recommend I don't remember why though. The front of the car is perfect height. The rear looks fine too me, but would look good a little lower but not much.

 

Leave it man. Looks good. Get that ceiling raised so I can put my transmission in!

 

Looks good as it is right now.

 

KEEP THE CAR! lol dont change it, it looks awesome. besides you just put a lift in your garage which is something not everyone has.

 

how much did u spend on that lift???

 

looks killer how it is!! the lift is bad *** also lol how much did that cost you?

 

The lift was right aroung $2000.

Thanks for the compliments guys, it's appreciated.

 

what size tires are you running on the rear? if you want to close the gap a little and are running 275 with a 30 side wall then bump it up to a 295 or so. or just get a 275 with a 35 sidewall. then do the hose mod or get a set of pro-kit springs. i've heard the pro-kits give it a great stance but not low enough to use the term "slammed." lol but then again i love the look of my slammed car...****'s hot! haha

 

That car is nasty, the stance looks awesome. Oh and don't sell it because you know you would probably regret it terribly.

 

The rear does look a lil high
