Is that maxed out in the front out of the box? If so, LOL!

I dont believe so, he set it like that for the car to be level, wheels are 17x9.5+15F and 18x10.5+18R iirc, the tires were the same profile, so the rear tires are considerably larger than the fronts.

Car isnt mine, just did a lot of the work on it, mine will likely end up with the same ride height as the front of that car, with bilstein PSS9's i'm working on.

Thats what I was thinking. FA's seem to be the best except for the fronts dont go low(enough).

Is flipping the front bracket considered proper/correct? What im trying to ask is, does it effect the funtion/performance of the coilover?

No, but lowering your car that much without proper suspension modifications will decrease the handling of the car.

The coilover still work and operate fine? Yup. It's not going to fail or anything abnormal.

Just (as above) remember the slotted holes for your front camber...you may need to extend the ex bottom, now upper one to correct it.

I get ya. Ive gathered all the info I need to depict my choice of coils. It now boils down to how much is in my pocket and which is the most logical ones to go with.

I'd say get PBMs, ride on those for a while, then if you don't like the ride you can get the other springs for $60.
You considered DMax coilovers? Check some review threads or something.

I dont want coils that feel like im riding in a shopping cart. I know coilovers are gonna be stiff no matter what brand just something not too uncomfortable. And I thought DMax were best suited for drifting arnt they? If I go to the track im looking for a pair thats best for time attack, also DD. Im not into the drift thing.

If you want something that doesnt ride like ass, then what you need is going to be Koni 861x, and or yellows, or bilstein.

If you want it to be comfortable, its perfectly reasonable, and possible, either go for 8610F/Yellows rear, or BilsteinF/Z32 Bilstein rear, and 7K/5K springs, you're guaranteed to like it, its guaranteed to perform, and the bilsteins are guaranteed to last.

stop bumping this thread, seriously

Pandapants · 12-28-2010, 07:43 AM

I think geoff and whoaitxnico had the only useful posts. OP asked which went lower, and they showed how low they went and with what work.

c-los13 · 12-28-2010, 11:23 AM

Everyone in this thread mad.

All the suspension gurus are acting like the low dummies are building THEIR car for them, instead of building the cars for themselves.

At some point we've all been lower than we thought ideal, and we raised our cars back up.

If they wanna go low, let them. They'll learn their lesson.

Whether it's a ripped off bumper, a broken in half oil pan, a fixit ticket from a cop, or an accident from crappy handling.

Just leave it be.

I'm no guru, but I disagree. I knew better, and saved for the decent stuff. Regardless of owning crap (which I have) I always knew what was best. I never stuck up for nonsense parts. I knew my stuff sucked, but I didn't know how to make a proper setup work at the point in time as there weren't much of us.

Bottom line is, nobody wnats to learn about this stuff. WHen 'coilover' requirements are about 'going low' not about 'handling', we should all step back and realize it's going in the wrong direction.
