Ride heigth?

[janschutz]

I was at Old City park doing some scouting for a future picture shoot today. I took the below picture and it reminded me that I want to lower my ride height. I have 15" wheels on the back and even with the larger tire, I have over 2 inches showing above the rear tires to the fender. I have stock springs now, do you think I need mid or reverse eye to lower the rear down enough.

Ps I think I want to lower the front by 1" also.

It doesn't look "bad" but I do think lowering front and rear would look better, killer even!

OMG! First lower the back so your butt is not sticking up in the air so much. Consider going 4.5 mideye in the back.
Front: What coils in front? Have you done the arning drop? If no and no, I'd consider arning drop, with Grabatrack 620 coils with maybe 1/4 of coil cut from the bottom, but before you cut, let's see what it looks like.

I still have the stock coils up front and have not done the drop. I guess I need to get the template from Opentracker.

I might have the template in my tool stash. Let me check.


Just keep in mind that if you do as I'm suggesting you will be dropping the car down quite a ways. Maybe too low for you?

Here's a pic of Shag with the setup I suggest.

Also look at jonward786's recent post which shows a similar set up as well.

Start with matching wl or bw tires.

Weird that your rear sits so high. Here's a photo of mine. 225/60/15's on the rear, newer stock springs, and KYB GaJ shocks. Fronts are 205/60/15 which are with a 1/2" or 1" shorter than 225's. I replaced stock springs with the NPD 1" lowering springs and Arning drop.
