Lowering my car..

RhadCundell · October 30th, 2007, 04:16 PM

whats the best way to go about this
i mean im waiting till spring
but something to ask for for Christmas

VSR13 · October 30th, 2007, 04:20 PM

depends on how much of a drop you want

Onemanzu · October 30th, 2007, 04:21 PM

Lowering springs and new shocks and struts never hurt...

depending on the drop you are looking for you could do C springs all the way down to eibach sports...

if you go lower then and inch and a half you will need caster camber plates too

RhadCundell · October 30th, 2007, 04:23 PM

ahh
will it make much of a difference apperence wise?

VSR13 · October 30th, 2007, 04:25 PM

well wat are your other plans for your car?

Hourofpain · October 30th, 2007, 04:26 PM

oh yeah

lowering look ssexy

i hate my car because its got the optional 17 inch rims and ford didnt change the ride height at all so im higher than most 6ers

RhadCundell · October 30th, 2007, 04:33 PM

well i would like to do a lot
but things cost so much

whitemustang02 · October 30th, 2007, 04:34 PM

no u r not higher u have the same ride hight as a regualr sixer because the 17" rims have lower profile tiers
so u have the same ride hight it just may look like u don't bacause of the biger rims

Hourofpain · October 30th, 2007, 04:41 PM

heh

ya sure
cause i was measuring against my friends v6 with 16's

im definately higher

from ground to the bottom of the wheel well thats above the tire

whitemustang02 · October 30th, 2007, 04:43 PM

what siae tiers do u have on the rims they should be a 45 or 40 side wall

Hourofpain · October 30th, 2007, 05:05 PM

My rims are definetly 17's

MisterFast3 · October 30th, 2007, 07:58 PM

just look at the post "its comin along" i have before and after pics of my car. stock and lowered. i just got rims and it totally put it over the hill for me. i love it. i wouldnt recommend dropping it more than 1.5 in. i rub on some stuff. but i dont know what its like on your body style

The best thing to do is to find the springs you like that lower your car the amount you want, new shocks and struts, and caster and camber plates. Thats the BEST thing to do when your lowering your car to just lower it. You don't have to get new shocks and struts, but it helps because your putting more stress on them for having them lower than what they were originally designed for, and depending on the drop you won't need the c&c plates, but it will help for better alignment.
