Want to lower your car? Look in here!!

i have 400's in the front and 350's in the back

then you're doing something wrong. that should be plenty of spring to go lower.

what are you rubbing on? because you're not bottoming out the struts and running on the bump stops with a 1 finger gap.

I dont know man its really weird... the noise is like metal to metal... BANG BANG, you get what i mean?

It's a hooker with a hammer.

I hit the bumpstops probably once every 5-7 miles

Just stumbled upon this site.

So my car went up about a quarter of an inch.

Which isn't bad considering I was having ground clearance issues.

How do different struts change the height? I thought that's what springs are for...

They have less travel, collapsed height isn't as small as stock.

So you end up a little higher.

good call, bud.

so.... i want to go airbags. is it best to buy a whole kit or piece together one? is it pretty much gonna be like $2200 or can it be put together cheaper?

where's the kit you found. because there aren't many.

i saw this one ridetech, airride, airlift, air suspension kits, fbss

i would call and ask on that one. seems like more of a universal kit. i've seen that one before and i'm not sure.

i would assume the UAS kit would be better assembled.

you mean this one?

What kind of wheels are you running? How saggy is the rear end? Or do you have 5 people in your car at all times?
