ebay coilovers on koni sports, with some modification to the upper strut mount.
The can still go lower, but as you can see, theres no need in my case.

2003silverneonsxt - Nice, I like how low it sits from the ground. how does your setup ride? I'm going to go all out and get KYB struts with the springs I decide to get.

sullygully - Wow, NICE car! Is that kit home-made? I've never seen it before. Yeah, ur car is SUPER low! I'm just lookin for about 1.5" drop....maybe a little more.

sullygully · Post by **sullygully** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 12:44 am

Its the 'Instigator kit', made by Prodesign. It gives the car quite a bit of body drop, and if you notice when looking at the wheel gap, its really not that much lower then 2003silverneonsxt, exept for the front mabe.

But i also modded my upper mounts so I could lower the front more yet still have the same strut travel when raised, This way i'm not riding on my bump stops.(also known as "kidney kickers" lol)

The good things about coilovers is that you can make the wheel gap the same on both front and back. Lowering springs usually still make the front higher then the back. I think this is because they(the manufactures) wanted the frame to be even all the way across when designing the springs, which in my mind is less important then making the wheel gap even. Uneven wheel gap is more noticeable, and uglier IMO.

Here's mine...

Mopar Performance Stage 1 Lowering Springs (on stock struts for now.) -

As stated previously, if CarDomain stays up and cooperates, you won't get red X's.

Thanks, man!

Yeah, I like the stockers and that's a good thing because unfortunately I don't have the budget to buy the wheels that I want at the moment.

I bought the springs used for like $75 shipped. Keep your eyes peeled here and at the other .org for people selling them. I'm not too sure where you could buy them new - It's probably a dealership special order. You could probably ask BlackRoseRacing about pricing, he might be able to get them, but I know buying them used would save you a lot of money. I'm sure buying them new through Mopar would be more expensive than Eibach's or any other brand lowering springs. The ride quality is a bit stiffer, but close to stock. I'm using stock struts which kinda' makes it bouncy, but I don't mind it - I used to drive an S-10 with a 4"/5" drop so I'm used to a 'bouncy' ride.

Hope this helps ya'.

I like the floor jack pic!!

Anybody else make their own ramps cuz the car is too low to roll a jack under? That cracks me up.

Here is my baby on her stockers....looks like a four wheel drive truck when compared to now. I have SRT rims and tires coming soon which should also fill out my wheel wells better. Im lowered using Mopar Stage 3s. Handling is utterly beautiful, take my word...save your money until you can afford coilovers. Lowering a car on struts is horrible compared to coilovers.

Here she is lowered using the S3s. Forgive the dirty car and blurry pic but I just ran outside in my boxers to take the pic.

Oh and no I cannot fit a jack under my car without first driving it up onto 2 x 4 s.
