I've only found a couple orgers with aftermarket springs/struts and stock wheels. I'm trying to get a feel for what different drops look like on stock rims. Please post pics of your setup! To start things off, I found Studman runs Tien and KYB-GR2's...very low:

EDIT>>Be sure to mention what springs/struts you're running!

 

Here you go with MaxSpeeds.




This is a picture with Sprint Springs

 

not a 2k2.. but still a 5th gen:

 

[QUOTE=maximamaybe]Here you go with MaxSpeeds.

maximamaybe - Looks great! A little lower than I expected with MaxSpeeds... Still running factory struts?

 

[QUOTE=Larrio]not a 2k2.. but still a 5th gen:

Larrio - Checked your site - saw you're running Sprints. Stock struts?

 

look at my homepage

 

Eibachs and Tokico blues. Great looking drop. Thanks for posting maximadave. BTW - Your new ride is sick!

 

i THINK I NEED A LOWERING NOW!!

 

....Tien and KYB-GR2's...




NOW THAT IS WHAT I AM GETTING IN A YEAR OR 7. I LOVE IT BUT AM SO BROKE...............i need to save some money. I'LL TRY TO GET THEM SOON.

 

Lithiumax lowered his car with Teins with stock 17s

 

Strange...Lith and Studman are both running the same setup (KYB-GR2's and Teins), but Lith's looks lower. The pics tell the story. Any guess as to why?

 

Tein S Tech with GR-2's

 

Progress Tech w/ stock shocks..not as low as Teins though

 

TitaniuMax - That's exactly the drop I've been looking for! Looks perfectly even. Now this is how the Max should have looked from the factory. So how's the ride with the stock struts? Planning on upgrading when the OEM struts wear out?

 

[QUOTE=housecor]kyb agx's... wouldn't think about running stock struts on sprints or teins

 

check out mine.....eibach + koni adjustable shock inserts and I have stock 16"

does not look low....but handles pretty well.

 

Tein S-tech with KYB AGXs.

 

[QUOTE=housecor]I am running Tokico Blues. Ride is great IMO.

 

tein/GR2...

 

Maxspeed's and KYB's

 

TitaniuMax03 that is a nice drop! Think i might go that way.....you got me thinking.

 

check out my homepage. MaxSpeeds on stock struts.

 

Great shots! I'm considering the Maxspeeds/Tokico's because I've heard this combo offers the best ride. I know the Tiens/Sprints are out because that drop is too low for my preference. Any other drops that offer a near stock ride?

 

Haha, TitaniumMax, thanks for doing the work for me with posting my pics.

 

check my homepage for stockies and JICs

 

HR & KYB GR2 (there's more shots on my homepage)

 

Does anyone have a Tein H tech and GR 2 setup?

"PROGRESS OWNZ....."

 

I dont think so....but I will hopefully soon...

 

Wow, looks great! And my exact car. But your profile doesn't provide a link to your site...

 

You mean 2k3TitaniumSE. I posted them.

 

Thanks and here it is:

Does anyone have the RATES for the following springs:

OEM/Stock:
Sprints:
Maxspeeds:
Eibach:
H&R:

So far all I know is:

TEIN: 201/265
PROGRESS: 165 / 200

I have the Illuminas and Progress springs waiting to go on my Max -- but after taking a ride in MDEALs max with TEINs and Tok BLues, i'm wondering if the progress springs are going to be STIFF ENOUGH for the ride-quality I want.
I'm trying to compare to make my final decsion b-4 mounting....


ANY input from you guys would be great!!

Eibach with stock springs:




Comparison vs. stock:

 

Here are a few of mine (2003 GLE with Tein/GR2 setup)...

 

Eibach & Tokico

 

Check my homepage for GR2+Maxspeed combo. It actually settled a bit lower than those early pics show.
