Suspensions Change

I am currently on Apex springs (1.6) and Tokico Illuminous shocks. I am toying with the idea of changing the suspension to something that isn't as low. Curretnly I can barely get a finger between my tire and fenders. My first thoughts were to the various Sport lines that different companies carry. My concern is getting the right amount of drop that looks and feels good. Can you guys throw up some pics of your cars on various setups such as Neuspeed Sport, H&R, etc and give me your feedback on them.



Thanks

Well I can't help you with just set springs but I'd say go for some adjustable coilovers so that you can play with the height. Plus you can pick the spring rates when you buy so you can get the comfort you want.

Heres a picture of my lude with ground controls it theres roughly 2 finger gap all the way around maybe less depending on how big your fingers are.

Nice glass
GC would be the best bet.

Except for those really hot days. I need to make a panel so it reflects the heat.

I was looking at the Neuspeed Koni Shocks here. At the bottom of the page it states they have "a 20mm shorter droop length for use with lowering springs" Can anyone tell me what this means?

Thanks

I'm guessing they are designed to be a little shorter in some way so they match up better with lowering springs. With normal shocks the more you lower it the more the shock compresses.

I think that's a great idea. Looking around I see that Pogressive Technology does the same thing with their coil overs. Can anyone else mention a company that I may have these same types of features.


Thanks
