springs that have the biggest drop

oh and for some reason the eibachs sit a tad lower in the rear then the fronts but they are a lower drop the skunks for sure because i've had both skunk and eibach sports and i cut my skunks a little to much and switched to the sports with a coil cut and for over a year NO PROBLEMS on my ghetto fit

i can tell you what i think the ride feels like and then someone else can tell you.
but if you dont feel it for yourself then all three of us will have a different idea of what it rides like.- you know what i mean..?

i enjoy the way it rides. its kinda stiff but soft at the same time.

i can tell you when i had it like that....the way bill had his. it wasnt bad.


im getting coilovers within the next month, so i decided to see what my car looks like with it lower.

so i cut a total of half a spring in the front and 3 in the back. on teins

i dont advise it, but if you cut like 1 coil all around i didnt feel a difference in the ride.

you can do what bill did and thats prolly the max, and then you will start feeling the horrible ride quality. my mom didnt think the ride was bouncy and shes an old lady. now she doesnt want to be neaer my car i dont either !

haha, old ladies know a smooth ride when they see one

ya i want to be a bit lower in the front, but im not gonna cut any more- the front is a bit softer than the rear- but almost equal so i dont want to throw the balance off too much..
