Lowering with TD's
 
Ok here's the deal plan on lowering the car this spring but not sure what route to go seeing how I have TD's. I've done the search thing didn't really find what I wanted. So any help from you guys that have done this with TDs will help. Also I've got the tsp system.

Our technical rep at UMI (Jerry) runs his front on lowering springs and the rear of stock springs. This gives him the racked look and offers additional clearance with his TSP true duals... its a pretty nice look I think. I run my personal car the same way but don't have true duals. What true duals are you running? What springs are you considering?

I've got the tsp system as well. I'm not sure what springs I'll be running just yet trying to get a feel of what is workin best for what i've got. You would by chance have a photo of your car or Jerry's would ya. Would like to see how much clearance there is.

Let me look around and I will let you know, there should be one somewhere on one of my computers.

Thanks ! I appreciate it, I wasn't having much luck with search on finding pics.

anyone else?

No problems here. I am using Sam Strano springs front and back with my custom fabricated true duals with an X.

What size is your tubing I'm using tsp's 3 inch system thats why I ask. Do you scrape on anything ?

I have Strano lowering/performance springs and 3 inch TSP true duals.

I daily drive my car in Seattle of all cities, if that tells ya you can get away with it :)

But it ALL depends on how tucked up the true duals are.

BlackLS199 Feb 23, 2009 04:42 PM

I'm surprised you can get away with that! Do you just lowered in the front or did you go with all four corners?

BlackLS199 Feb 25, 2009 07:12 PM

anybody got any pics?

Here is the two best I have where you can see the TSP true duals from the side or back (white Camaro). In these pictures there is a QA1 coil over in the front with QA1 springs. The rear is the factory springs.

Hope these help some!

im lowered about 1.5" all the way around and have a custom 2.5" dual system, with about 3" ground clearance at the lowest point.
