One thing to note: If the spring is preloaded too much the coils will touch when the suspension is under heavy loads. This will cause your rate to increase exponentialy. Snap oversteer, and all sorts of crappy quirks will result. Tune carefully. ---

Jesse, your front scrapes because your springs are weaksauce. 😛 If you want a good height, try matching the wheelgap in front and rear. Otherwise, you will just scrape shit when you brake and lean into corners. We need to get proper pictures up from those that have done it. Or just get a meet together to show off our shizzle. ---

Honestly, aside from the looks of being slammed, what good is it when it takes you 5min just to drive up a driveway or go over a speed bump. Sorry but I’d rather stick to conviniene of being in and out of anywhere without worrying about scraping the ground. I need a lip damn it. ---

Who cares, I tear up and down my steep drive way raping my lip, I go normally over speed bumps and tear up the streets scraping everything in site. Its a car, who cares, drive it like you would drive your cock into Elisha Cuthbert. ---

So has anyone found a comfortable dampening settings for themselves? Not something I’d use (since I have a different setup then most/some). Just curious to see some #s. When I first installed it, I had it on 3/2 and car felt great. A little oversteer exiting the corners, but was good. Little bouncy bouncy. I put it on 0/0 today and it felt like mush. The bouncy bouncy was reduced, but the car just didn’t feel ‘hard’ or ‘stiff’. Damn rain needs to go away. ---

G. my buddy has a fibreglass bumper that costs a few hundred and is way too low, he wrecks it everywhere. we on the other hand have a very durable and cheap urethan lip that can take a ton of havoc so long as it is zip tied. i knocked mine off more than 10 times last year on crubs, rocks, snow, ice etc etc… and i dont regret it. i dontk now about elisha cuthbert, i figure i drive my car more like i would the nutties into krystal steal because between she (or the road) and i, i am certainly the amatuer. ---

So how low is too low? After lowering the front another 1/2", and turning the wheel all the way to the left, the tire is just rubbing the top of the fenderwell cover. Any of you have this problem? I will have pics up shortly. Can some of you people post your wheel gap numbers? ---

I am ‘tweaking’ it. But it would help to see what others have. Sure not everyone is running the same setup but a little comparison doesn’t hurt. Back to the tweaking board… ---

Jesse, it’s not the fender that’s rubbing it’s the fender liner (inside the wheelwell). The stuff Phil mentioned. My car is not that low. About 4.5" or 5" clearance from ground to edge of the black liner on the bottom of the bumper. I have yet to hit speedbumps but I’m sure it’ll be fine. I have no problem getting in and off driveways so I’m all good. And yes I’ll have pics later. ---
