lwhitetrash88l · February 4th, 2008, 09:37 AM

How much can I lower my car without anything rubbing? what lower height do you guys suggest?

lwhitetrash88l · February 4th, 2008, 09:37 AM

also,where do you suggest i buy the lowering from? what company is good?

GTsetGO · February 4th, 2008, 09:41 AM

prokit will lower the car about 1.5" and a sport line kit will lower it about 2.2"

GTsetGO · February 4th, 2008, 09:54 AM

nope. plenty of people have them and they work fine

lwhitetrash88l · February 4th, 2008, 10:07 AM

awesome

GTsetGO · February 4th, 2008, 10:16 AM

you will probably need CC plates to help get the car back in alignment

lwhitetrash88l · February 4th, 2008, 12:02 PM

cast and camber? why is that? will there be a toe in or something?

lwhitetrash88l · February 4th, 2008, 12:08 PM

what about tokico? i think thats the name. any good or no?

I just ordered tokico HP's from BRENSPEED, BBK BMR SCT STEEDA MAC PYPES SLP MUSTANG PERFORMANCE PARTS They had the best price I could find on the shock / strut package. Great guys, very helpful and shipped a few hours after I placed the order.

I've driven a car with the sportlines (or comparable), and it's rough. The ride sucks, you scrape on everything... I would not recommend it for a daily driver.

did your ride on the Sportlines with aftermarket shock/struts?

lwhitetrash88l · February 17th, 2008, 01:07 AM

what will i need to do to my car to prepare it for lowering?

bbkbadboy · February 20th, 2008, 07:07 PM

I have sportlines with no insulators and mine doesnt rub, my drop is about 2.5 in the front and 2.3 in the back, but really you dont have to do much at all the prepare it for lowering just get the shocks and struts, some people get CC plates but it all depends they say once you go lower den 2.0 in. you need them but my tires wear evenly

Steve O · February 20th, 2008, 11:00 PM

i have sportlines too and mine doesnt rub at all the ride hight looks sweet i have no problem with it being that lowered at all i have maybe scraped 2 times in about 8 months with the car lowered and i dont rlly have any complaint about the and my car i a daily driver too

lwhitetrash88l · February 22nd, 2008, 09:47 AM

C/C plates are just for the front... I would recommend Maximum Motorsports.

2006greyGT · February 24th, 2008, 02:20 PM

Just drop it.... see if there are any problems... most likely not but you have to check your tire wear after a while...just watch out for everything you park against because it will hit the front. I put the aggressive chin spoiler on mine and I can barely get the toe of my shoe under it....
