Fox What's The Stock Ride Height For A 91 Vert?

cdurbin · Aug 1, 2014

Looking to purchase lowering springs for my 91 vert because I think it sits too high. I bought the car a little over 2 years ago and the suspension is about the only I haven't replaced or repaired at this point. I can't tell if it has the stock springs or not. I don't want to purchase new springs if it's not going to do anything for me.
Picture attached for reference. I'm running 17" wheels on 245/45/17 tires.
Thanks

Me too but I always like to get a second opinion when I can.
Thanks

For reference here's my 93 on 15s. Same tire to fender height.

Well I just ordered these

Along with the prothane isolators for the front and rear. Hopefully it will do the trick.

Looks stock to me. Word of caution- lower is not better. You really do not want to lower the car more than 1-1.5 inches or you start messing with suspension geometry, handling, and ride. Also, if you lower it over an inch you will most likely need CC plates. For what it's worth I would look at either H&R or Steeda Sport Springs . People have also used Bullit or Mach 1 springs- they will not lower the car as much but are factory OEM qualiy and give a firm ride.

Just saw the kit you ordered. Those are decent springs as well. A little pricey though.

Thanks for the advice and input. I understand where you are coming from.
The springs I ordered are supposed to drop it from 1-1.2 inches which didn't seem too extreme to me.
I did order the prothane isolators as well. I'm saving up to order caster/camber plates and new shocks and struts next.
I'm going to wait until I have everything and install it all at once.

If I could make a suggestion- go with either MM CC plates or Team Z. Don't get aluminum ones as they tend to warp. The Pro Kit are similar to B springs if I remember correctly?

Thanks for the advice. I like the MM CC plates.
What do you know/think of these plates?

Seems like a cheap price but that means a cheap product too sometimes.
Thanks

For a vehicle that sees heavy street use maximum motorsports is the only way to go. Do it once and be done.

Cool. I'm good with that. It's my DD so I don't want to skimp on things that I'll regret later.
Thanks
