Drop the Front More Than the Back?

GTSilver · November 19th, 2006, 10:13 PM

hey i've seen lost of guys droppin they're cars more in the front than in the back...i like tha stance but how much does it go down in the back if i'm gonna do 2" in the front....like 1 1/4?

The springs I want are H&R Springs at americanmuscle.com

1.75" drop on the front and 1.6" on the rear.

ChrisJ · November 20th, 2006, 02:50 AM

I went with steeda comps...The front was about even with the rear...

Then I put upper and lower control arms and the rear sat up alittle bit more...

I think ti looks great...

well almost all kits lower the front more than that back by about a half inch. Keep in mind with identical springs, the end of the car with a 2000 pound engine is going to sit a little lower...

2000 lbs engine? holy shit we dont have semis here. a fully built modular with all acceries will weigh less then 700 lbs and be closer to 600 lbs

ibanez570x · November 20th, 2006, 12:03 PM

ok exageration. the entire engine compartment must weigh over 1000 though right? I am just guessing and am likely wrong. Point still remains that that will be 700 pounds more than the rear...

yea but i'm just gonna cut some springs that i already have so i've pretty much gottan open canvas as to how far i'm gonna lower it....i'm pretty sure i'm gonna go 2" in the front...i just dont want it to look all jacked if the rear is like waaaaaay higher than the front lol.

itschristorres8 · November 20th, 2006, 01:03 PM

if your going beyond a 1.4inch drop you'll be in the market for some caster chamber plates....
and if your gona cut the springs, then good luck...

GTSilver · November 20th, 2006, 01:06 PM

dont need the c/c plates...theres a place that'll do the allignment and the drop for $200...

GTSilver · November 20th, 2006, 01:06 PM

fuck it i'm goin 2" all around

itschristorres8 · November 20th, 2006, 01:15 PM

installing springs isnt hard....its a a few bolts...

GTSilver · November 20th, 2006, 01:16 PM

yea but the allignment isa biiiiitch...and i dont have the tools to cut the springs

tlgrant · November 20th, 2006, 06:39 PM

going 2 all the way around might hurt your accleration, iv got a full racing suspension in mine from hotchkis its nasty in the twistys but not great for draging i adjusted up the rear as high as it will go and that puts it at a 1 inch drop in the rear and barely over 2 in the front i like the stonce more, handle way bettah then stock and improves dragn it with the back bumped up a lil.

hmmmm....good point..well then i suppose if i go 2" in the front and maybe 1.5" in the back i wont lose the acceleration. come to think of it..that'd look bad ass too...but i dont know ive seen a couple of slammed stangs and they look SWEEEET. but i really dont wanna lose any speed at all.

tlgrant · November 21st, 2006, 01:01 PM

just go 1 in the rear and two in the front. personaly i realy like that stance its more of a mean bad ass look. slamming them looks cool too but more for show kinda cool. know what im trying to say? but you could bee lookin at a CC kit to dont forget. these guys are a little pricey but i love all my stuf from them http://www.hotchkis.net/cgi-bin/EDCs...1996-1998%3BGT
