OKay so i want to put an eibach lowering kit on my g coupe but what are the advantages and disadvantages of lowering the car!!!!!!!????????? Please keep in mind I live in chicago and it snows and the g is the only car i have but i do access to my ladies 98 mercury tarcer Lmao!!! please any comments and questions do not offend me so let'em rip!!!!!!!!!!!

 

slamed being a 3'' drop or more correct?

 

slammed = counting inches (centimeters) FROM the floor

 

NO............ more like a 1.5 - 2.5 (at the most and pushing it)!!!!!! And am i being stupid honestly man I just keep having ppl telling me its a bad idea, mostly older guys, but i love the way it looks and see all you folks in cali and god knows where else with lowered cars and man SOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous!!!! cuz at times it snows like a 1 to 3ft here in chicago!!

 

1+

It's worth it if you can drive around town like that and don't mind the extra hassles of driving a very low car.

 

And let me just say Ive learned a lot from this forum and wouldnt trust any other, not knocking chicagoZ, but i havent learned as much as i did on this one you guys really know what you're talking about

 

okay IDk what they have in your town but how are speeds humps/bumps? Can you guys clear them without a problem........ it would also help to know what kind of set up you have its just that i have a set of skunk2 or eibach pro kit i might sell depending on which sounds better!!!! Sorry guys just really interested what everyone has to say. I know this a really newb thing to do!!!!!!!!

 

You won't be slammed with either of thee springs! But if snow is really that bad where you are then I donno what to tell you, safety first IMO

 

just drop it by 1.5" or buy some coilovers so when its winter time you can jack it up. Also get the lifetime alignment at firestone so everytime you lower it or jack it up you get alignments for free

 

speedbumps suck, dips suck, drive ways suck everything sucks when your slammed. you just gotta get used to doing extra work mostly learning how to angle your car at a bump. but like shaneg said safety first.

 

^Haha, for me it's

Speedbump=Devil
Dips=Devil
Steep Driveways=Devil hahaha

If i see any of those i have to find another way around, or park there and walk PITA but price you pay for rydin dumpt!

 

haha yeah my underbody looks bad my plastic underbody gaurd thingy is stuck cause one of the screws got bent. oh and uneven freeways suck to go over too feels like my tires gonna pop.

 

Being lowered has its advantages and disadvantages. It looks nice but like you were saying, if it snows that much, you will most likely scratch your bumper a few times, especially if there is a dip being covered by snow that you can't see. Thats just my opinion though. I speak through expereince because just about every car I've owned was slammed.

 

i'm in cali but i've been to chicago over 10 times now for work and i could not imagine driving my G through downtown even if it wasn't dropped! man, i thought LA roads were bad. your downtown is awful.

like everyone said, even w/ a mild drop you'll have to be careful w/ the roads, driveways, etc. i hate subterranean parking b/c my car always scrapes; think ypipe and midpipe area. you'll also have to drive slow around town looking carefully at the road ahead. people behind you will get pissed but oh well! haha gl

 

SLAM IT!!!!!!!!

Get Coils!
