Lowering options??!!

[alan1828]

Which would be ideal:

1) Lowering my car with stock wheels and rims

2) Not lowering my car and change rims+Wheels

3)Lowering and getting new set of wheels

What is the max I can fit without lowering and if I drop to 1.5 what would be the max I can fit.

I know this topic has been discussed B4, but I'm lazy :headbang:

springs and wheels would be ideal

[alan1828]

Lower it first, the rims can come later. The wheel gap is uglier than hub caps

True, but that doesn't look horrible. It looks decent ish

[alan1828]

I have alumium rims so I think the look sexy, if not better. OK lowering it is then, now waiting for the seller to take off his rims and hand'em over he he he.....

I kinda like my 4x4 stance, lol

^^ OMG!!! Who is that guy?!?!?

Welcome back unc. Hibernation over? :wink:

[krusty]

lower it! you won't regret it

[mojoyaris]

Just don't slam it. It's such a shame people slam their cars. There's no performance gain from doing this.

I have the same hubcaps as above, and I'm thinking for lowering it first......but wondering which one to get, TRD or NF210? My tire spec is 175/14.......

Any suggestions from you guys?

buy my coilovers....$600

[Betrivent]

I had the same stock setup, nf210s work very well.

In deciding between these two, one thing to consider is the actual drop of the springs.

TRD is an equal drop of ~1.25 inches front and rear.
NF210s do not drop equally front and rear. They spec at 1.1" front, 1.3" rear.

My preference is an equal drop all around, and therefor would not personally choose NFs. They are also quite a soft spring. I believe TRDs are a bit stiffer.

Sorry, that's a bit over my budget......thanks for the offer though.....

Thanks for your info.......my concern is that for TRD that is more stiffer, will it be really bumpy when driving?

Nope, still quite comfortable. My Megans are way stiffer than TRD, and my ride still isn't that bad.

Ic, I might go for TRD at the end, thanks for the information :w00t:

[suckerface]

In comparison to stock, are the TRD springs a noticeably stiffer ride? I really want to lower my car, but I hate feeling every bump and crack I drive over...

[thebarber]

i had eibach prokits on my car all winter

going from megan coilovers to softer progressive-rate springs felt like i was driving a cadillac (comparitively speaking, of course)

trd's will likely feel firmer than stock, but not bladder busting

Thanks........ this helps a lot, because my wife concern about the bumpy feeling if I lower my ride
