lowering my 98

[blackstalion232]

i want to lower my 98 but i was wondering if anyone has had problems with scraping the cats and also if i lower my car and put 17's on it will the 17's have enough wheel well room can someone post a pic with lowered and 17's

yes, ive had plenty of problems with scraping, but it was usually only on steep inclines or higher speed bumps (or if i had a rather "healthy" passanger). that was with 2" lowering springs with the lower isolators removes. now i have a 1.5" drop and dont scrape at all anywhere, unless its an extreme incline or something like that.

Very nice 98!

I used Steeda sports, and eibach pro shocks, and i can clear speedbumps quite easily, using 17" rims. The Steeda are not as extreme as some, as you can see from my sig, its still high at the back, but lower than stock.

I have sportlines with no isos in the front and l/t. I tryed to scrape on something but I couldnt...


What are you guys scraping on?

no kidding, hahahaha.


and like i said, i usually scraped on speed bumps or steep inclines, and i have a tendancy to not slow down for such things, haha

 

[95Grandtouring5.0]

Eibach sportlines 2" - 2 1/2"

 

[OnyxCobra]

Sorry, didn't realize you wanted a pic. With any springs as long as your front tires are 245 or 255 on an 8 or 9" rim I think you'd be okay, 265-275 is possible but might rub at full turn (not sure b/c i dont have them but many people run that size up front) This is with H&R SuperSports.

 

[FUK_N_JUNK]

Eibach sportlines 2" - 2 1/2"

Yeah, I want sportlines now........ :rockyou:

 

[Mustanger]

I am running 275's on front & 315's on the back on mine & no issues...I have the Eibach ProKit on the car, 1.5" drop all around...only steep inclines make me slow down, no problems scraping anything.... I love the stance.

 

[blackstalion232]

thanks my plan is to do bilsteins shocks and struts with eibach springs then a set of 17x9 cobra r's

I spy handz car in the last pic

I'm getting long tubes and sportlines... we don't have any steep inclines or speedbumps so I think I'm good.

 

[eliyarbrough]

I have the Pro-Kits with stock struts/shocks. I scrape all the time! I just know not to drive over speed bumps. If I have to, it's at an insane angle! The roads in my town blows though. That does factor in!

lmao



and once again the size of the wheel does not effect ride height.
