Mid-Price Range drop...
Tuesday, November 21, 2006 11:47 AM
I would like to go from the normal to about what the picture shows... Not sure if the only way to get that low is by air-ride or if there is a mid-price drop that will accomplish this for me... The drop will be mostly for show and not for racing or anything. I have read alot throughout this forum on everything from the normal KYB and Eibach set-ups to the Air-Ride Tech setups, just wondering what you all think. I'm keeping the body stock, no kit. and was thinking maybe the LS but have seen that done too many times. the only addition is a custom stock front bumper enhancements (secret plans for uniqueness) as well as some altercations to the rear bumper and slight built up of the lower sides to the existing body (not side skirts).

So hopefully someone can direct me the right path to take for the proper drop or atleast start me in the right direction.

to tuck like that you would need coilovers. either the tein basics (around 750-800 brand new), the tein ss (around 1550 brand new) or you can get ground control and either koni yellows or tokico dspecs for struts (probably a total of about 900 for either setup brand new)

well i'm not quite ready to buy just yet, but i'd be interesting in talking to darkstars sometime about it, i can be im'd on aim username "fauxevo" (name's steve). plus not sure if i trust the bags for a daily driver and also a car that will be driven this winter, if i start the work on it it will be it's last winter, though. I have to decide wether to continue with my current project or move on with a j-body... it's a tough decision, but i like the ideas i have for my cavi more than the one's for my lancer.



hence the name fauxevo...

Darkstars has the GM Extreme Tuner front i believe is the name. no he does not have the complete kit. That kit is not made anymore and very hard to find. if you do find it, expect to pay a LOT for it.
