also anyone got pics of how low their coilovers can go?!?

 

also the d2 coilovers come with the rear spring on the rear shock
does this mean you also have to buy a set of rear springs as well?

 

What I can say is that on my first SS i had konis and sportlines, maybe they weren't set up the right way, but when I then switched to BC coilovers, I felt an improvement that I didn't think I could get

 

BUMP BUMP!
so its coming down to stance or bc
anyone have pics of either? how low can you go how low can you go !

 

Same thing, but I had TC struts and shocks.

 

are you saying i should get BC coilovers?
how low can they go?
anyone have pics of how low bc or stance's look on your balt?

 

Not yet, my first SS is still at the body shop. Will take pix when I get it back.
The BC coilovers are claimed to lower the car from 1 to 3 inches.
I think BC is the best for the money. I just got the Pedders for my other SS, but still in the process of installing them, so can't make a comparison yet.

 

Check out THmotorsports on the vendors forum, click on "BC coilovers best bang for the buck", you will see a picture posted by 100%meth on page 2.

 

cool man your awesome sorry for asking all this but im on a boat and the internets mad slow!
any help is appreciated!

 

If we know it, we will answer!

 

But if you have a 2.2 and you don't race it, it is really useless to get such a expensive thing, springs will do a great job in my opinion, but then of course it is up to you. If you are planning things for the future such as turbo or things like that, then get the good stuff, otherwise sportlines would be the best bet I think, as far as drop and handling.
Also, I don't know if it is worth it saying it, but on ebay you find lots of brand new coilovers for our car, that are in the 800s.

.

 

so basically about the same?
anyone else post more links THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

 

why would you do that? the variant 2s are the best coilovers out for the car. the only ones that will match or slightly improve handling and have good valving....

d2 coilovers are junk and ksports are even more junk. people have had the shock bodies break.....if all your concerned about is drop by the stances.....they will get you the lowest. kw variant 2 if you want handling with drop.

you need to realize you cant be ultra low and still have good handling. your going to run into problems like bump steer, axle bind, etc etc.

 

pedders and fe5 struts if you dont mind the ride height being a little high in the back, kws if you are worried about getting low...keep in mind too you might also be rubbing the tires getting low. i had the stock size and i rubbed and i was about 1/2" from the bottom on the stances(about the same front drop with h and r springs) and about an inch from the lowest in the back...all around i had the same ride height as my h&rs and i still rubbed.

 

yea that makes sense i mean i dont really want to be low ALL the time i just want it for specific times so i can look cool and then when im daily driving i want to be atleast 1-2 inches off my wheel you know thats basically why im going for coilovers so if i can get performance and looks thats definatly a plus

how do you like the stance coilovers?

...also why im getting the r1 concepts with the r1 logo on them ha !

 

The D2 coilovers don't have the spring on the rear strut its seperate, just in there pictures it shows they are. I have them on mine.

 

what about pedders coilovers? im lookin at those and thinkin about getting them

 

I bought pedders coilovers with camber plates for $ 1250 from turbo tech racing

 

im getting them from a vendor here in utah... can't remember price tho haha

 

yea dude at turbo tech racing said that was bs and best price was 1400

 

buy stance over the pedders....almost the same thing, have the same problems, handle just the same, stance = less money. buy the stances.

 

i was actually thinking about going with BC over pedders what do you think between the stance and bc?
what are you ridin on whyyoumadson?

 

Well, I can PM you the receipt from TTR for my pedders with camber plates. Btw, if you call them, that's the price they will give you. PM Aaron and you'll see if you get them for less than 1400
