vert lowering kits? Ok gents, im deployed so i have been out of the loop for awhile, i used to post daily but havent in months, i tried the search but came up with nothing. Have any new lowering kits come out specifiaclly for verts that wouldnt bottom my car out? I just want to eliminate some of the wheel gap and level her out. Its really the last thing on my list as far as apperance, besides window tint. Any input would be appreiciated, thanx.
Koni SA shocks, set front perches low perch, remove rear spacer and replace with heater hose on top coil. Great handling, lowers just about 3/4", on stock springs rides as soft as stock with better damping. Will eliminate much wheel gap... but if you want it ALL gone, you're talking about 2" drop, which in my opinion is way too much, and results in bottoming due to insufficient suspension travel (or obscenely stiff springs that ride too harshly to manage the limited travel).

or you could replace your rear springs with 1LE springs and still have everything else stock. That is what is on the back of mine after i sent thur a few differant springs to get the right stance

I already did the hose mode, i mean, i didnt replace the shocks, but the back of the car looks lower by a hair than the front. I also think i need to replace the shocks cause the driver's side in the back is lower than the passenger side. So, i guess im lookin for somthin for the front and back.

I have the eibach pro-kit on mine. And it looks great. With any speed the front is a little higher but sitting its level. And looks meaner than all get out. But I know that is because the weight is pushing it down a little bit more than other fbodys.
