Lowering Springs

[Curtissickk]

Hey Guys! I'm wanting to get lowering springs pretty soon without having to buy everything else like the adjustable panhard bar etc. Has anyone had any experience with 2" lowering springs without having any other suspension mods? The highest I'm willing to drop it is 1.5".
Thanks!

A friend of mine dropped his 2005 2" without installing an adjustable PHB. His driver's side tire was sticking out about a quarter inch past the fender.

That doesn't sound too appealing. Thanks for the advice!
I've seen a couple with a 1.5" drop all around and the rear seems to still be a little higher than the front.. maybe a bigger drop in the rear rather than the front?

Yeah, a 1.5F/1.5R drop will give you a good amount of rake. A 1.5F/2.0R drop will give you this:

If you haven't purchased your springs yet, I have a set of Steeda Ultra-Lite springs with about 7000 miles on them I am going to sell. These springs gave me about 1 inch front and 1 1/2 inch rear drop and a really good ride. You can get away without Camber bolts and a new Panhard bar with this drop. This is a pic of my car when it was stock and I had these springs installed.



If you are interested in them shoot me a PM.

Hello all,

I had my Eilbach springs installed today, and it is amazing. The ride is not much different, but the car looks like it should...Low slung and not like a 4 x 4.
