what size rimz n tyres do u hav ?

[BiGANG]

18x7.5. with 35 series tyres. lowered on kmac springs. still scrapes on the muffler mainly but nowhere near as much, just in shopping cente carparks n sh*t

If you measure from the ground to the guard(or fender? Shit my poor english Q_Q), i consider 580mm is low enough for a DC2. But make sure the springs and shocks are good enough to handle the bump without rubbing the tyres

HUH LOLZ ? im confused...

just get any high performance spring for your car made by brands such as whiteline, eibach tanabe etc, you shouldn't need to decide the exact drop you want just have an idea and go get the springs with similar drops, its not rocket science. Any good brand spring made specificaly for your dc2 will drop it enough to be "low and sexy" but not that low that your under car equipment will get damaged.

Although pascoe make sure you get shocks as well.

mines already dropped 2.5 @ the front n 2.75 @ rear man..lowest part of my car is 7cm from d ground...

i want another inch so 2.5 @ front 3.75 @ rear...but scared will effect ride comfort n drivability badly...

[kousoku]

pascoe, maybe your should edit your first post and ask people exactly that... "will dropping my car to 2.5 and 3.75 effect ride comfort and drivability"

answer to your question is 'yes' with a 'depenends' on the springs and suspension set up you have as to how adversly affectd it will become. all resorts back to tires, rims, shocks, springs, etc, etc list goes on.

Sorry if the pics are a little big.

[THE_MASS]

my car is lowered 3inches at the back with 17's:D:D
scrapes everywhere. but gotta be careful with my lip..
i need to get it fixed cause my cars too low..
but the ride is excellent. its like its on rails!!

[nobbs]

lol @ ali.....

but neways pascoe, just try it man, i say just go to 3.5 inches at the rear...u have ridden in my car and its a 4.25 inch drop at the rear, it aint too bad considering how low it is, and mines a daily driver :):)

and as for shocks, i got stock oem shocks and the ride is still exactly the same as it was when i first put the springs in a year ago, i even took it to wakefiled that way and i got a decent time for a first timer
so yeh u might get lucky

[Chi]

Alex u forgot to add ur car flops up and down likea fish and sparks fly out from ur zorst when it scapes teh floor.

But other than that its all good. :p

haha yeh man......i didnt say it was perfect ride, i said its good for how low it is...

and it doesnt bounce up and down that bad..it just looks that way to u coz ur car doesnt bounce at all :p :p

[LAGOOT]

mines lowered 2.25" all round on whitelines

[THE_MASS]

just DROP your car pas. whats the worst that can happen?? ;)
atleast as low as mine. youve got nothing to lose. maybe nobbs cars ride height is too much for some, but hey.. it looks awesome and the ride is ok! ;)

[Boost]

yo yo teggy owners... LOL..
4.1/4" inches???? GODDAM!.. Alex thats low man..
you bloody low riders... but it looks sexy though...

mines a conservative 2.25-2.5" all round... not too low.. but not to high.. like kellogg's JUST RIGHT..

[Felix]

I was thinking of dropping mine 1.5inch from stock..
Dont want to go to low, incase of scrapping.

Yeah but i allready scrap sometimes on driveways etc.

[OZ#227]

If your just doing it for looks.....well OK ....Go for it.
But that gotta affect the car, and not in a good way.

Mines lowered about 2in with Spoon progessive spring & OEM shocks.
But now it thrown-out the camber. Need adjustable arms....cause camber pins suck.
