Sorry, shes a little dirty from last night after putting on the springs and struts. Setup is Tokico Blues with Canuck motorsports springs, 1.75" drop. I'll get some better shots later in the day

Need to go to my exhaust shop and have them realign the exhaust with the bumper, and maybe get a bigger tip to sit flush with it.. oh well cant really see it now thats it low though

I was afraid when I saw the pic that it would rub, but next picture proved me wrong, lol. That's a loooow drop, looks good. You have more pics of front lip? Debating on getting one.

Johny · Post by **Johny** » Mon May 14, 2012 12:54 pm

Yeah its pretty low, I'm not use to this, feels so weird sitting down in it lmao. I would like the back to be a bit higher though, but its better than 4x4 stance. Here's a picture of the lip, I'll get you some more later on

Looks good man. Need to paint that front lip, imo. And get some spacers too.

thanks bro, yeah I'm gonna leave it black for now, sorta get a feel for that. once I get bored I'm gonna color match it

yeah I was thinking of spacers, but the tires would rub. how many mm would you recommend?

1.75" drop and theres that little of clearance????

are the struts shorter as well???

Johny · Post by **Johny** » Mon May 14, 2012 3:53 pm

The struts are blues, so I'm not really sure. I also had my old suspension, all my tools and jacks in the trunk when I took these pictures, maybe it dropped it more?

WhiteSRT69 · Post by **WhiteSRT69** » Mon May 14, 2012 3:59 pm

hmmmm..... very weird

would love to see it with no tools in the trunk and on a flat surface

looks good tho man!

Well I have 5mm spacers all around (the largest spacers neons can handle without extended studs) And I don't rub. I don't know about 10mm or higher ones if they'll rub.

Hmmm, you have them all around? I do have a set in the garage, might try them on

Wow those silver stones look amazing, and that drop is ridiculous for springs only.

Hows the ride with the new springs?

Thanks man, the stones need to be repainted, dont know if you can see but theres a few chip marks here and there

Ride is pretty decent, you def feel the road more than stock, but its not absolutely terrible. I took out all my stuff from the trunk, so now I can fit my finger inside. I like it so far

Here are some pics of it on a straight road

my old set up!! I have some pictures to post from my place.. but tomorrow. No time tonight

My car sat the same as yours, but you have some fatter tires than I do/did.

LOOKS GREAT BRROOO

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Mon May 14, 2012 10:15 pm

wow, that front sits low! I like it! most springs the rear sits like yours and the front still has a pretty big gap. my Megans are that way and the old Pro Kits were the same. I know of seen other Canadians on here with Canuck Motorsports springs. Are they good springs or are they like eBay equivalents? Looks good man! Gonna paint the front lip blaze red?

yeah man I actually really loved your silver 2nd gen, one of my favs. The springs, so far, seem pretty legit. Kevin was running them for a while, so he'd probably be the better person to ask

haha thanks man. I still have the silver car, and it's still lookin pretty good. Just hasn't been running in months because of the SRT swap in progress. Although Saturday night it started up successfully and it was glorious

The paint on the rear mat matches pretty good from what I can see what'd u end up using?
