Default Suggestions on a Drop.

I've been looking to lower my vehical at the same time I get my new wheels and tires. I don't want to drop it to the ground, Longtubes *might* be placed in there. I just want a subtal drop to clean up the wheel gap, and one that will also take Auto-x into consideration.

This car will also be driven often, so speed bumps and inclined parking lots should be taken into consideration.

I've seen springs for 1.5"-1.8". If I could see some pictures of different drops, it would be VERY appreciated.

Kyle

Look at the thread at the very top of this forum, just below the ANNOUNCEMENT thing.

I second that. Give Sam Strano a call.
