Picture Reqest: show off your ride to help me :)
Wednesday, May 10, 2006 7:08 AM
Everyone is always posting pics of their cars anyways, so could you post pics of your car that is lowered, and tell me what kind of setup your riding on? I would really appriciate it, and i figured it would give you all another post to show your cars off. Reason being im trying to get off this POS setup called dropzone, but i really like how my car is sitting on them, and i want springs. thanks for your help guys.

I also have dropzone springs, if you liked the quality of the ride before you blew your struts(lol), maybe you should just consider investing in some struts. I got some koni yellows recently and should be installing them in the next week or two. If you want, I will let you know how I like the set up.

dude... no matter what anybody tells you, dont correctly, dropzones are not bad coilovers. I rode on dropzone coilovers and Koni Red struts for almost 4 years with absolutly no problems. i had them slammed a good inch and half lower than any lowering spring and loved it. The only reason I switched to springs was because after 4 years my struts were starting to go and natural wear and tear and rust were starting to show a little on the coilover. Can you do better than dropzones? absolutly... but they really arent as gosh awful as everybody makes them out to be. now if you were on those $15 blue coilovers off ebay, thats another story.

this is my car on dropzones:


this is my car on springs:

i'm sitting on gravana coilovers. they're a little pricey but well worth the money.





these coilovers will raise the car about an inch higher than where my car is sitting now and will easily drop it another 2, and the ride quality won't suffer. these things are well built

Does anyone have a pic of their car on a flat??? with sportlines? BlueDeuce, do you have a pic of it on a flat surface? what rims tire sizes are you running, im just trying to figure out if the sportlines are gonna be satisfactory for me, im on 17inch rims w/ 215-45-17's and i want about one to two finger gap in the front.

Jealousy courses through my veins...

I am stuck with the Eibach Pro Kit and KYB GR2 Shocks and struts... kinda ghey if you ask me. People ask me all the time if I'm even lowered.

Dude, I've seen deuce's setup in person and it is exactly what I want. I highly reccomend. Soft but firm, no bouncing and very responsive. Little to no wheel gap to boot, it just looks right. I am shooting for the same install as soon as I get my funds in order.

See my above pictures. I'm on Sportlines with 17's and the same size tires you are running. My car is sitting on a flat surface as well, maybe the angle do not look it.

My first one is on a flat surface but with 18's, go with the sportlines you wont regret it i was going to go with the pro-kit, but i went with sportlines instead. Glad i did.
