does it drop the car a few inches, or does it sit a few inches off the ground?

Alot of you guys are tubbed, or had fenders rolled as well, and I dont have a lip kit so I was just curious.

This is with no cutting of anything in the fenders. You could just barely slide a coke can under the bumper.



You can see two beers can in this pic.






I am all that is man

Coilovers, but they wont be nearly as low. Theres threads everywhere about them

if you wanna go that low, spend the money and get bags, you will never want any other suspension again, easystreet is a great kit, and pretty cheap anymore

Oh and you cant go that low and drive. All four tires are resting on the inner fenders.

WHen I had my coilovers I had them all the way down once. I was tucking about 1/4" of tire. I couldnt drive anywere quickly. I couldnt turn sharp. I would have to turn into oncoming traffic lanes to make it around a 90 degree turn. Not to cool.


I am all that is man

i had the same question but i plan on tubbing it out. im hoping to basically set the cav on the ground. what kind of modification is needed with the easy street kit to do that

back is easy just tub it, the front is a little harder. mine were just mad outta sheet metal but you can buy like trailer fenders to make the tubs look good. heres a pic of mine

that looks good man. So you just tubed it out rate there not in the trunk at all. What did you do to the front? How hard was it ?



Re: How low does easy street go?

yea just the front half of the rear is done for the front i rolled the pinch weld aroud the front and just beat in the fender well not the best looking, but you can cut out the section that hits and boxx it out with new sheet metal. i just never have had time to do it to the front. with out my drag blocks on i can roll at 0 psi

cool man yeah im tacking my kit off this winter so i was wondering how i could get it to lay out a little more how much more does that drop it by putting the tubs in? Like an inch or is it so you can just drive layed out?

well i dont ride on the strut but at about 10psi most of the time so i have some air in the bag and heres a link to what esb did. he used just regular bellow bags instead of strut bags. http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=3&i=114103&t=114103

So in the pic that he showed earlier in this post for me, was that not with the easy street kit, or was it?


Re: How low does easy street go?
Saturday, September 16, 2006 10:58 AM
i think that was with his easy street in. he did the standard bellow bags at a later time
