Please post and explain your reasons.

I'll start. My car sits on factory Bilstein suspension - not lowered - and it's modded with F/R anti-swaybars. I chose this route, because it allows me to corner fast as hell on the street and because I didn't feel comfortable altering the factory geometry. I don't have to slow down for barely anything due to ample suspension travel and ground clearance.

 

I'm guessing this thread is for people who are not lowered by choice...?

 

I hope everyone gets involved. If one's reasons aren't driven by choice, then he should post that.

 

Bilstein HD struts, Swift Spec R Springs (-1.4/-0.8), Swift Stabilizer Bars (F/R).

My daily driver that sees its share of track days and AX events.

Lowering, when done right, alters the center of gravity for the car. Done wrong, alters the geometry too far and can hurt more than help. Spring rates and sway bars control handling characteristics. Once properly added up can create a pretty mean handling car!

 

word up. Well my car is not lowered NOT by choice. Waiting on reviews/pics of the Cobb springs and I'll probly buy springs along with wheels which will take some saving up.

 

Still stock but just bought some Espelir ASD springs to put on this spring.

 

If you can see the roads here, and my driveway, you will understand why I am not lowered.

 

Not lowered by choice . But then again I only been doing power MODs . handling and looks will come after all power mods are done

 

+1 i got a side wall bubble because of DC metro area famous pot hole system; i also scraped up my front bumper because for the weird angled drivewayss too; this is on stock alignment and 245/45/17 tires

 

I'm still on completely stock suspension (05 VIII) by choice, but I have some Bilstein HD's in the garage with GTWorx springs just waiting to be put on. I moved from Virginia so less of a problem with stupid roads and crazy angled driveways. I'm all about upgrading suspension/brakes/handling with the power as it increases.

Currently, I'm not lowered but my intentions are to eventually get a set of Spec-R springs.

 

Tanabe GF210 springs here. Had to get a drop because my rims are 18/35/255's and spending money on rims and not getting a drop is just stupid.

 

I myself have had a set of tein springs sitting here in my room for like 2 years now. I just keep putting off doing the install on them.

 

I am currently running the stock shocks and Swift Sport Springs. I daily drive my car and never sees track time, but they seem to ride slightly better than the stock springs and look fantastic. Just the perfect drop to make the car look great and not too low that it scrapes. Maybe a full set of coilovers in the future, but happy with my set up for now.

What about the folks who upgrade the wheels on their performance machines for (err...) performance and not for the sake of something as shallow as outward appearance. Are they stupid for not getting a "drop?"
