i know that i would like to have a set up like this for thr weight loss, but it is expensive. however, money is not my problem. as you guys can see i have some mods, but never touched the suspension. this is because i got thee body kit, and didnt know exactly what to do for the drop. the drop is what im missing. got to get rid of the wheel gap, car would look so good.

ok well i cant go to low, so i was thinking steeda springs. i would like to do a coil over setup instead, but was wondering the range of dropping you have with those???? i dont know much about them. i know i can adjust them, but from what ranges? like 1in.-3in. or somthing like that?

also for you guys that have them, what do you do for the rear drop? do you just use a regular set of springs? i havent seen coil over set ups for the rear?

maximum motorsports sells a top-of-the-line coilover conversion system complete with the Hypercoil springs, coilover kit, Bilstein shocks and struts, and caster camber plates. this is for the front AND the rear, and sells for approximately $1600. If you want to do it right the first time, I suggest this kit. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/mmcopkg.asp
As for the exact range of adjustment, I cant be for certain.

I hope this helps

that seems like a nice kit, but i was wanting one of the kits that have the k- member/ a- arms/ coil over springs.....i guess id have to buy shocks and struts myself and add them to this set up....

does anyone else know about one of these setups and the range of coil over adjustment?

I s this what you were looking for? I do not know what spring weights and how much you can lower it.

Check QA1.net for a kit price on these and rear coil over options, spring rates, lowering etc. Ask if a bumpsteer kit is still necesary and what they recommend for the rear (panhard/torque arm, watts link, etc. Call them as they are not set up for on-line currently.

thats the basic idea but they all come together as a kit. the real reason im looking at this type of set up is so i can get on to alignment racks it will be a pain if i just use regular springs and i wind up too low with this kit.

i just figured coil overs are adjustable maybe that would work for my set up. i think i might just take my chances with regular steeda sport springs.

worst case i will pull the front and sides off the car and get somthing not so low to replace them....thanks anyway guys
