i'm just wondering if anyone know whats the lowest i could drop my car without having to change my shocks i don't wanna drop it too low...i just wanna drop it enough to lose the gap...my wheels are 205/40/17 its pretty much the same as the stock wheel but the stock is 195/60/15...and i just wanna know if i'm gonna need a camber kit?

its not the height, its the spring rate. the stiffer the spring, the faster it's going to blow your shocks. the eibach pro kit and nuespeed soft sports are 2 options that probly dont need to be paired with an aftermarket shock. i think cpmike ran sportlines for a long time on stock shocks and was ok too.

Most low drops under 2 inches have a low spring rate which you can use your stock shocks, they will still blow out sooner than stock though since they are working harder. I was riding on sprint race springs with stock shocks dropped 2.25 inches for 2 years and my shocks didnt blow. I think one might have blown a month before i totalled my car though because it was making a lot of noise.
Coilover sleeves will blow your shocks almost instantaniously.
camber isnt really an issue under 2 inches if you rotate your tires and have a good alignment. I had very small tire wear from camber so i never cared to get a camber kit.Last edited by WaLLeYeMan; 04-12-2007, 01:28 PM.
