ride quality is subjective. it's significantly more stiff than my stock suspension, but i love it that way.
this is as low as you can get: Attachment 229674 Attachment 229675 the drop is: -1.6~-3.7 front/0~-1.4 rear |
I think mine goes a little lower than yours Calvin.

That is as low as my Basics will let me go (and that's with the collars removed in the rear).
Glex, each car is going to be slightly different. Your rear does look lower than mine, though. It depends on what you have/don't have in the trunk, etc. Here is an extreme example - Kyosho's Coupe w/ Basics: Attachment 229676 |

Glex, do you have the "collars" removed from the rears also? Thanks guys. |

here is mine no collars in the rear. front was 4 threads from max drop
rear http://www.boostedconcepts.com/image...-22-07-001.jpg http://www.boostedconcepts.com/image...-22-07-009.jpg front http://www.boostedconcepts.com/image...-22-07-002.jpg side shots http://www.boostedconcepts.com/image...-22-07-003.jpg http://www.boostedconcepts.com/image...-22-07-006.jpg http://www.boostedconcepts.com/image...-22-07-008.jpg |
the ride is pretty stiff. you'll feel every bump and imperfection in the road. my gf doesn't notice the difference from the stock sport suspension though - still hates it. i'm sittin on 20's also.
i think mine will go lower than calvin's in the rear if i remove the collars. i had to raise mine since i was rubbing. i'm still rubbing but not as much, only when i take sharp turns or sudden dips on the highway. |
Well I guess I didn't mean collar but the rubber boot that sits on top of the adjustable spring system.
|
Does anyone have pics of tein basics set on the highest setting you can go? I'm interested in a slight drop and stiffer suspension for a daily driver.

highest is stock height.

And those are actually 19s. Not sure where you got the idea they are 20s. :dunno: btw - My rear looks high because the fronts are slammed in the pic i posted above. My rear is relatively high (compared to the front in that pic). It looks as if my font will go lower than yours. Again, like I've been saying...it's going to be a little different for every car. :7: |
