opinion: dropped or slammed?

what do you think? dropped or slammed? i'm more partial to slammed, but i'm looking for opinions. not sure if i'm going with the mirage prokit (1.4 front, 1.0 rear) or the mirage sportline (1.8 front, 1.5 rear) for springs. i kno this isn't exactly slammed, but i can't afford bags or a full coilover suspension.

let's consider slammed 1.8" and below

slammed means lowered so much that the front bumper and sides can touch the ground

i think i'll most likely end up with the eibach prokit... even tho that the sportline (1.8" all the way around.. maybe 1.9" cause they're mirage springs) sounds pretty good too. i have a while to decide tho... car was broken into last night and my next buy is an alarm

Drop it, slamming it is pointless.

Kensuke's post was on: Dec 2, 2003, 11:58 PM .... holy crap .. back from the dead -- haha

Anyways, I have eibach prokit on my car... i've had to realign 3 times already.. and i still have tire wear (getting ready to buy yet another tire...) ... the ride is mad bouncey.. had it professionally installed and i've had it professionally inspected for faulty-ness(word?) twice already... but it looks nice! haha.. i'm getting ready to switch over to the tein ss coilover setup.. i'm tired of alignments, bouncey ride and tire wear

- Rob

If you want to drive it then drop it. I wouldnt recomend more then 1.5 because that it what the car is designed for. It is how it was engineered and wont handel or drive properly lower. If you want to have a show car then slam it with air ride. There is some pretty good kits on the market. I'd recomend a FBSS kit with 2 tanks, 2 compressors, fast valves and 1" OD hoses (1/2" ID).

Cheers
Danno
