I am looking into putting some lowering springs on my 99ws6 and I would like to see some pictures of different cars with different springs on them. If anyone can post some pics of what you got, I would apreciate it. Thanks, Matt

How much did they pro kit end up droping your car, and have you had any ground clearance problems with the headers?

Question. What size tires are you running in the front/back. It looks like you have 17x10's in the back. Any problem with rubbing, did you have to beat on anything? haha.

Just curious. I'm a fan of Boyd's, but I'm not a fan of beating on my car. Just wanted to see if you had clearance issues after lowering it.

Here is a static and action shot of my car with different springs.
SLP Level 1 springs




Eibach Pro-kit




LG Motorsports G2 super springs



The SLP springs are the most docile springs. I think they ride better than stock (may have been the shocks), and handle better also. They are fine for autox, but too soft for road racing, and the progressive front springs make the car a little harder to drive at the limit.

The Pro-kit is a great autox spring, but is a little low for street use, and too soft for road racing. The car spent a lot of time on the bumpstops with these springs.

The G2 springs are slightly taller or about the same as the PK, but since they are noticeably stiffer, they bottom out much less. These springs are awesome on a road course, great on an autox, and a tad stiff on the street. Still my favorite so far.

Oh, and before anyone asks, the black wheels are 17x11's on all four corners with 315/35/17's:

Very sweet setup! I considered the 17 x 11's on all 4 corners. Anything special that you need to do to get them to fit?

Thanks. To make the 17x11's fit up front, we had to grind the little tit off the spindle, install long studs, and use a 1/4" wheel spacer. The wheels are +50mm offset. It was actually easier to get the fronts sorted out than the rears, which required a lot of adjusting on the LCA's and PHB, along with plenty of time spent "massaging" the inner fenders with a BFH. I also use 1/4" spacers out back, and have rolled the lip.
