Don't get me wrong your car looks sick and I do like how it sits...but how our cars naturally ride and handle (and what most of us use them for..rallying ) I would think being it sits that low you would really have to watch how you drive the car and watch out for any kind of flaws/objects on the road. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in your picture your SFC's look to be sitting really close to the ground..I would think at some point them things would be scrapping or hitting on something.

Good point, mine is a daily driver and iv been thinking about the drivability. I live in colorado springs and alot of the roads are pretty bad, especially downtown. I live in the southeast and the roads are pretty good here, but going downtown even with my lt's is gunna make me cringe. maby ill just stick with the eibach pro kit. Do they ride nice? Or will they ride nice with bilsteins?

The pro kit handles nice. It's not a extreme drop that's going to take away from around town drivability. I would suggest looking into some UMI control arms for sure.

Well I hope you mean in a good way. I Loved the way my car looked and everyone that saw it in person seem'd to aswell. The car had 2" of Clearance at the Sub frames. They sub frames were one the car when i bought it. They Must have been some of the first to come out and were never meant to be on a dropped car. They did touch from time to time but i never went off roading either. This was a car that got driven friday night and maybe one or twice during the week.

You Learn how to drive a car this low , just like you drive a truck with a 6" lift and 39's. Its different, but this car drove like it was on rails. I car would also run side to side with a pulley'd, full exhaust, and tuned 2004 Cobra





I paid about 180 for the springs 3-4 years ago.

haha leaf blower?! thats pure genious! My car isnt worth doing that to. It's been hit and the drivers quarter is just slapped on by some jackass, the front is pretty rock chipped, and the rear bumper is faded. I might pull the quarter off and redo it and paint the whole car this next winter. It's kind of a street warrior for now though, my daily driver. And it still looks good. Specially now with my ws6 wheels. The motor goes in this weekend too! I cant wait.

Thanks for all the pics guys. I think ill do the prokit and bilsteins.

I like the adjustability of the HAL/QA1 coil overs up front. The seriously hand great and take dips and bumps smoother then stock. Now for the rear never had a more bumpy ride other then a bagged S10 LOL. BMR rear 1 in drop with 12 QA1 shocks

I recently took out the rear spacer and it was pretty my level, but had a driveline vibration but thats another story
