How low should I go? 1-1/2" or 2"

Mac_5.0 · 06-19-2002, 11:22 AM

I am about to purchase lowering springs and new shocks/struts for my car and I was wondering how low I should go. I am leaning towards 1-1/2" as I do not want a totally rough ride but in all honesty if the extra 1/2" makes a big performance difference than I will be happy with a slight loss in comfort! What do you guys think? Oh yeah I was also looking at getting either the BBK spring kit (specific rate) with either Konis or Tokicos or getting the Tokico Kit . . .any opinions on these products?

I got the edelbrock 1 1/2 inch drop springs " progressive rate" and I love them they smoothed the ride way out, and I noticed no difference in 60ft times. So in my experience they made the car look and ride better and didnt hurt my launches.

Later.
