Postby Hakuma2 » Mon Apr 26, 2004 12:03 am

i am thinking about dropping my car but i don't know how much i should drop it... can u guys tell me how much you guys drop yours? (thinking about gettin the tein s tech)...and i don't know why but my front seems more higher than the back... even before i had 18' on it, the front was still higher. Is there anyone who had higher front like mine? And is it true that after you drop your car, it settles down more after awhile? thankzZz

yes it will settle alittle and drop lower after a new set of springs. Mine dropped more after about 1 month. I got Vogtland 1.5" F/R and its a nice even drop.
