Those W/ 19's...
 
What suspension setup do you have to make the car ride/sit right? Thanks!

I have the Hotchkis lowering springs.

Looks awesome! How is the ride? How far did it drop it? Any other suspension changes?

That car is freakin gorgeous, you need to go out and get some more pics, im debating goin 19's right now or not, you think you could send me a pm with an approximate total of what you paid for your set of wheels, w/ and w/out tires. thanks.

I also have BMR weld-in subframe connectors and a BMR X-treme strut tower bar.
I still have my stock shocks as well as a "Bad-Z" adjustable panhard bar.
The springs advertise a 1" drop all the way around. But some people say that the drop is a little more after the springs are broken in.
I can put two fingers on top of each other between the top of the tire to the fender well, for the front and back.

I have a car show this weekend and expect to get some more pics as well.
Also sent you a PM.

Thanks for the info! How do you think it rides for lowering and 19's?

I think it rides good. Granted I will probably get better shocks in the near future, but not anytime soon.
The car is really stiff, which is want you want.
You don't want anything flexing. Just be careful going over speed bumps, railroad tracks, etc... It gets really rough over that stuff.

Do you have any ideas what shocks you might get? I am looking at either some reasonable shocks/these springs, or adjustable shocks/stock springs.

BoneSS Apr 14, 2005 06:42 AM

Anyone else?
