need more drop

[418_CB7]

I'm actually on tein S.tech's and tokico hp's, but I think the car isn't low enough. What do you think would be the less expensive way to drop it?
I tought about changing the s.tech's for some cheap ebay coilovers ( that drop 1 to 4 inches) but I think i'll be dissapointed after having teins that offers a very smooth ride. My second option is buying sprint extreme's but I don't know if it would be a good combination with tokico HPs, I think they're not made for such a drop ( 3" )

I don't have much money, and that's the point....I don't want to change the whole kit

any suggestions ?
thanks


* notice the unacceptable fender gap

DO NOT use eBay coilovers, that'd be a huge mistake.

H&R or Neuspeed drop springs maybe? If you can't afford to do it right now, just wait 'til you can afford to do it right.

If you can't afford to do it right now, just wait 'til you can afford to do it right.

I like that!

I dont feel at all the ebay coilovers, but I saw cb7 owners here with some real nice looking drops. But what I tought is that they won't offer a ride as nice as the s.tech's, do they? probably not but......

You can actually maintain if not improve your ride with a better pair of shocks but I am not sure if that will play into your current budget. There are shocks out there that have height adjustment as well which may also assist in further lowering your car.

[418_CB7]

Yep I tought about that too,
but even if I get adjustable shocks, will the springs ( that offer a 2.2" & 1.9" drop) be able to lower more ?

thanks for the help

[418_CB7]

anybody with tein s.tech's and adjustable shocks ?
or anybody with tokico HP and 3" or more drop ??

[deevergote]

Tokico HP MIGHT be able to handle a lower drop. I have a friend that's been dropped about 3" on KYB GR2s for years, and they're comparable shocks.

Perhaps you could sell your current setup for $300 or so, then spend $700 on some Tein Basic coilovers. Not cheap, but it would be a good option.

[418_CB7]

thanks dude, I'll try to find somebody here who got it (the tein kit) to see what the drop looks like


thanks!its a pretty good idea

[deevergote]

It's a coilover kit. Adjustible height.

[418_CB7]

sounds pretty good And I would love to stay with tein, I like how the s.techs ride

[deevergote]

Yeah, that's why I suggested the Basics. If you want more performance, get the SS, they're even better. They sell for about $1000. soysaucecb7 has them on his car.

I'm currently riding on H&R Race springs and Koni Yellow shocks. I'll get a pic up of how that looks. The shocks have a height adjustment on them, which is cool. Pain to do, since you have to take everything apart, but it's a good feature. That's also a great option.

hmm...3"drp...i got about 3.5" drop with nuespeed...it wasn't low enough for me so i cut 2 coils off....and it shure droped it the way i wanted....yes i know it's a bad thing.....but there's always something called expirementing...but back to my topic....umm...yeah a nuespeed lowering springs with stock oem struts..........it was brand new actually....and i've had it for nearly 2 years now with out a problem and my suspentions is still strong as hell and not once out of the 2 years i had a problem...umm...ride quality...ride quality is good.....it's hella smooth....and fuk feels better than stock hieght...way better....handeling is hella good....my car can really hug a turn when im street racing or just getting bored and trying to do some auto x...well it's up to u my friend....just trying posting up my shyt hoping it'll work....

[418_CB7]

thanks for the help man!
damn I love your ride,
thats about the height I want on mine

[dan21]
