just wondering how much these realy lower the car, from people who have them. i want it lower in the front then in the back. also are the steeda springs any good?
It will be a good bit lower in the front. The front end on my car came down about 1.5", which was too low for what I wanted. It could've looked better had the rear not remained at stock height. Some people liked the stance but I hated it. I would describe it as how a car looks when you slam on the brakes.
I'm happy with my B springs - here's a before and after shot - also did Bilsteins all around, and MM LCAs and Steeda UCAs at the same time. It has a slight rake to it, but pretty mild. The drop wasn't that much - I wasn't going for the slammed look, and didn't want to have to get CC plates - the alignment after I did it all was fine with just the stock CC plates. Any lower, and I would have needed aftermarket ones. Also didn't want to have more rubbing issues than I already have by going too low, plus didn't want to scrape the bottom of the car everytime I went over a speed bump. Also did new poly isolators all around as well - that will affect the drop a little as well, until things settle in a little.
don't mean to jack the thread. I was looking at either c or b springs and I'm not quite sure what to get. I've heard from a few people that they'd get the c's but I don't know why
Honestly I dont know which FMS springs I have, the guy before me put them in and all he could tell me is that they were FMS...its pretty low, though...but doesnt ride bad and still seems to clear most bumps, as long as im careful
Between my Eibach Drag springs (which I dunno if they lower things at all or not) and my stupid UPR X-pipe, I barely have enough ground clearance to lay my hand sideways under the car (probably 4" max from pavement to my exhaust). Those FMS springs might actually be an improvement. I scrape on EVERYTHING.
