lowering springs

zigbigadoru · September 21st, 2008, 01:57 PM

ok so i cant decide on which lowering springs or how much of a drop i want. I plan on having long tube headers and really dont want them scraping everywhere but I also would like to have a really agressive stance. wut do you guys think would be the best ones?

RandoGT · September 21st, 2008, 11:18 PM

some H&R Springs. whichever you want really. your Longtubes are drag somewhere one way or the other i would think

zigbigadoru · September 21st, 2008, 11:25 PM

in that case, do you think i could get eibach sportline springs and still be ok?

Ya they will scrap. Just get a normal 1-1.25' drop and be cautious.

i thought you couldnt tell the difference if you drop it that little? as in it looks like a 4x4 still.

some guys on here have Sportlines and drag their LTs every here and there. you just gotta watch out for that stuff that'll screw up your LTs

Your Long tubes are going to scrape anyway. You can avoid it all you want, but the truth is. Once you have Long Tubes, lowered or not, you'll hit. And if you are careful, they stiffer spring rate will make you bounce less, so you don't hit all that much anyway. But, if you scrape you scrape, just be careful and don't go crazy with it, don't slam it 4 inches and expect to clear every bump you find.

If you know your'e gonna scrape, scrape s l o w l y. Don't hit it at 10 mph and think it's gonna be ok. sometimes it's unavoidable but just remember that the more force you hit something with, the more damage you will cause.

zigbigadoru · September 24th, 2008, 06:05 PM

you guys arent really helping in deciding WHICH springs to get........i asked you whether i should get eibach prokit, eibach sportline, or something else. way to be freaking useless, i congratulate you on that fact. you have absolutely avoided my question at every point. thank you for wasting my time.

97S281 · September 24th, 2008, 06:41 PM

get eibach prokit, eibach sportline, or something else.

MustangMatt96GT · September 24th, 2008, 09:20 PM

i liked my proline kit when i had it

97GT4.6 · September 25th, 2008, 03:38 AM

prolines are that much of a drop. i have em on my car, it looks good and isn't that low.
