Just wondering what all kinds of lowering spring kits you all have used. I have a base G5 with 15" rims so the wheel gap is pretty bad Would have loved to of upgraded to some 18s or 19s but thats wayyyy to expensive for me haha. So Ive been looking to get a lowering kit and wanted to know what you all recommend. Im a little shakey on getting the eibach sportlines just because I really dont want to have to break the bank and upgrade other suspensions parts just to use them. Just looking for a nice drop that will overall improve the look. Thanks for your help guys and gals.

 

This should help.

Definitely helps! Thank you still looking for any helpful suggestions though because its hard to tell from those pics what it would be like on my car since I have 15's.

 

Bump

 

What kind of drop are you looking for? Do you want a decent drop with pretty good handeling? Do you not car about ride quality?

 

For your car to look good on 15s, you need coils. Trust me, I have 15s

 

Yeah but if I could afford coils I would have just bought new rims and tires haha. Sadly can't do either :/ As far as drop goes I'm really up for anything. Just want to overall improve the look without having to break the bank to much. Obviously I would want as low as possible but I'm down for any kinds of suggestions anyone has.

 

Best advice i can give is you have to pay to play

 

Haha ain't that the truth.

 

I got sportlines and on 15s my car looked alright but there was still wheel gap. From far it looked slammed though lol



My other g5 had 16s and it looked fine on ksport springs..

 

b&g is the lowest spring

 

Just keep on mind that if you slam it keeping the stock rims, the car will look like a train, the wheels will look too far inside into the fenders

 

Do what? A train lol

 

My car looked fine dropped on stockers.I have Ksport drop springs.I'll dig up some pix
This was about 4 years ago.

 

Ya looks good. But I'm not understanding the train thing

 

He is saying it would look like a train.Meaning the wheels would be "sunk" in.In which they won't.

OP,Find some 17's on craigslist.I got mine for $200 and painted them the color I wanted.I.E.

 

I got 17s and its a bit better.. I want it a little lower to look pwrfect though.

 

You can get some wider tires too

 

The wheels of the trains are very far inside that you can barely see them comparing to the width of the train wagon. So it means that the wheels will be too much inside the fenders.

 

Could you post a pic with the wheels straight? Possibly not from far away

 

Nope!because I don't have one lol.Actually. I might hold on.

 

Won't getting wider tires fix that problem?

 

only one I have is a rolling shot.which does no justice lol.

 

No it wouldn't.A lower offset wheel would take care of that

 

Oh. I've seen alot of people slammed on stock wheels and it didn't do that.
