Pics of My Budget Lowering Setup - Summit Brand Springs After years of being told I need to lower it after posting pics, I finally got around to it. I decided to go a little different route and do a budget setup. If it craps out or I don't like it, I can always get something else.
I'm sure 100 guys are going to chime in and tell me it's crap because it didn't cost $800. The car sees 2,000 miles a year and very little track time. I don't care it it rides perfect, so I went with Summit brand lowing springs ($170) Summit rear three-way adjustable drag shocks ($75) and for the fronts I went wit KYB shocks ($170).
I went with Summit parts because I've had good luck with theit stuff in the past. As far as their lowering springs, all I could find for reviews was people saying "some guy" on a different forum didn't like them. i beleive they're rebadged pro-kits.
So far I'm very pleased with the setup. It rides a lot better than I expected, seems a little better than stock even. Clearance seems ok with Pacesetter LTs and Y pipe. And I love the stance.
Here's a few before pics for reference:
And here's the after shots:

Not sure I haven't measured. The passenger side is a little lower than the driver side. I swapped the springs around and it was the same way so its just how the car is. I may try adding a heater hose and keeping The isolator to being it up a tad.

I had Summit springs on my car with SLP Bilsteins. I actually didn't like the stance, I thought the rear looked a little too low. That and the rear end crashed over bumps like nobody's business. I put the stock springs back in the rear with heater hose mod and kept the Summit springs in the front. I'm pretty pleased with how it sits now.
