Lowered today, impressions within

Yet another "lowered" thread, but it's about time for me. Maxspeed springs and AGX struts. The struts are neutral in the rear and 2 in the front right now. Due to the dirt and such here in AZ, my mech put the rear adjusters on the opposite side to avoid all the crap that gets thrown up on them. The maxspeeds lowered the car .75" in the rear and 1.5" in the front as of today. Looks awesome thus far. The ride isn't stock smooth, but not too bad at all. I wouldn't say harsh, but you can feel the stiffness. I am real pleased. Anyone in Tucson should contact me about the mech I used, he's pretty bada$$.

Why Teins?

Do have any experience with maxspeeds? I'm in the market for springs.

I am looking for the lowest drop I can go without a very harsh ride.


thanks

Dont get him started on Teins again

The lowest you can go w/o gettin coilover is Teins, but make sure you get struts as well.

This low enough?

From what i gathered, Maxspeeds are geared more towards the comfort side of things. Tein's are more performance oriented, and with it goes a slightly harsher ride than H&R's or Maxspeeds.

Of course Harsh/Comfort/Smooth is relative. But judging from recent posts that seems to be the verdict.

Measure yours from the center of the fender to the ground and let me know how many inches you got. Make sure you take the measurments on an even surface and take it on atleast 2 diff places just to be 100% sure. If for some reason yours is lower, then so be it I guess it just settled lower then normal, regardless if for some reason it is lower its not gonna be my much. I got 25.25" in the front and 25.5" in the rear
