how much drop, springs.


With long tubes, how much drop is too much? and how will it affect the ride quality?

I'm looking at 1.5-2.0" drop, but I'm not sure....

Thanks guys.

Depends on what brand of long tubes you have, I've seen some that you don't even want to think about lowering the car and others its really not going to matter.

The most drop I would go with is 1.5, seems to fill in the wheel wells just fine, also don't forget to get some good quality camber caster plates. For the ride quality I like it better, it got rid of the floating feeling.

What brand you going to go with?

A co-worker of mine has BBK longtubes w/ Eibach Sportlines. & he has no problems with scraping. Just take it slow over speed bumps & other road hazards.

I have BBK LT as well...

I was looking at the Steeda's and the Eibach. I was tempted by the ones on ebay for $60, but I won't risk it. Since I put the Tokico struts on the car, it seems to sit higher now, it looks like an suv, so I'll try to get the eibach and do 1.50 all over.
