Lowering springs with rear seat passengers

Coupe Devil · 12-23-2002, 09:32 PM

What do you guys recommend. I want the lowering springs for the handleing characteristics and performance but also want to be able to carry one or tow rear seat passengers if I want to. Being able to carry them isnt a must, if I have to sacrifice and make the coupe just a 2 seater I will. What do some of you guys with corner carver cars have as far as springs and do yo uever carry passengers. Car is an 86 Coupe btw

I have Eibach springs all the way around which lowered the car about 1-1.5 inches and have never rubbed even with the car loaded with passengers (front and back)...

Mine is a 94gt

Same here, running 4 c springs , the back without dampeners and no rear contact. Those springs are usually so stiff that they dont respond to wieght as much: the car wont sag like a stock one does

Jegs has some air bags that you can raise and lower by putting air.
