hmmm.. might have to research this.... but i would think that springs would be better...

im thinking drop spindles would be better for ride quality... but you have to do springs in the back rite???

thats what im thinking

thats what im thinking

that makes more sense... springs in the rear and spindles up front.... kinda like a suspension lift but opposite... damn tired right now... but that makes a lot of sense

does this work?

i think i can only do spindles since i have air all around...let me know what spindles you get...should i drop it when i only have 3 in after the air goes down when parked?

The only drop parts available for the 03+ is the springs. Everything else is custom. Just do the belltech springs with one turn cut, for 3.5 drop. But with anything more then 2" you'll run into camber issues. Also transmission crossmember will scrape so watch where you go.

Ross, you should just add a tank and compressor to make your oem bags adjustable.

And the lowering god chimes in! After a shit ton of research I'm going belltech springs since eibach is only 1.6 and 1.8 (barely unnoticeable for the money) and belltech will just flat out go lower. My question now is will the stock struts hold up pretty good or SHOULD I replace them? I'd like to keep pretty good ride quality if possible

 

[SOLISIMO]

Please dont cut your springs as recommended by some. People seem to forget about spring rates when cutting them

i'll check around to see if that will work...

MOOTOO...replace the struts...its not advised to compress them for this application...if youre gonna do it...do it right...new struts

ross, thats kinda what i was looking into and the only one i seen like that is the ground force kit. which struts would be the best for this application? i cant see compressing the factory struts and them still operating normally without "dialing them in" or replacing them but then again im not a suspension expert ... rims/tires, mobile audio/video, electrical work, shooting people, blowing up buildings, jumping out of aircraft i can help you out all day!

 

[GAINMOB]

i like the shooting part...thats surprisingly breath taking!!!

time actually slows down...and training kicks in...

 

[WHOISMOOTOO]

i say one less dude i gotta keep my eye on

 

[WHOISMOOTOO]

[GAINMOB]

dont know...wasnt me...oh...someone said you'll scrape the trans...

 

[WHOISMOOTOO]
