it´s beautiful! slightly too lowered, but I´d still drive it! Thanks again brian.

 

[DemonicEGT]

LOL no problem James. i think it looks sic laid out like that. :-]

 

[siragan]

I don´t see the point in lowering your car... the geometry is all messed up then, the CV shafts are strained, etc.

I think it looks stupid so lowered. The only reason why I would lower my car is for better handling purposes.

 

[James92Scort]

That´s part of the reason I´m getting suspension tech 1.5" lowering springs Siragan. lower stance, lower center of gravity, etc. This is just a "show" concept. But your opinion´s cool w/ me ;-)

 

[siragan]

Well I think that lowering your car is good to a point. Maybe 1 or 2 inches, for a lower stance, but this whole "ride on the frame" thing is way outta hand and overhyped.

how much is it for a reasonable 1.5" lowering spring kit? Can you use the stock struts?

 

[James92Scort]

through nopi, the suspension tech springs are like 150-160 plus shipping and I´m putting them on my KYB GR2s. :-]

 

[jged99]

siragan where did you get those headlights? Or are they just different bulbs?

 

[91scortgtboy]

james that car looks hot. A little too low but nice.

I recognize the motor pic in the background off of my yahoo briefcase

jged-

those are the BMW angeleye headlights, however, you should be able to achieve a similar effect with BMW E36 headlights and glowwire.

Angel eyes... how sweet is that?

Yeah brian did the lowering and whatnot of my car and he put the cutaway of a BP in the background.

 

[DemonicEGT]

yeah i slammed the begeezus out of it, shaved the handles, squirters and and antenna and the rims i got off of a Cossie :-D

 

[95EsortSittinLo]

I got a question what are the cons of lowering your car?

 

[James92Scort]

When going over pot holes and speed bumps you could bottom out your car and do serious damage to things like the shifter linkage, fuel lines, and the exhaust.

 

[TheBlade]

Depends on how its lowered if you lower it just a little bit for performance (like on some sort of progressive drop springs) You can improve you handling because your center of gravity is lower....however,

If you just put joe-scmhoe coilovers on you could be riding on bump stops. Handling will suck and you´ll have to plan out a driving route through your city that is lowered friendly.

But you sacrifice ride for looks....look at all the mini-trucks that are bagged...they can look nice laying frame at the grocery store, but driving them around has got to be a bitch!

 

[Skuce]

You kidding ...a bagged truck is a damn nice ride!!
get the bags about 1/2 full and it´s better than the stock torsion bars anyday.

 

[Juggernaut]

i think blade was referring to going over speed bumps or pot holes with 1" clearance over the ground :-o

 

[TheBlade]

Yeah, sorry Skuce, I wasn´t clear. I´m not talking badly about bagged mini´s at all.... In fact I would love to have an S10 laying frame on 18´s. I will have one eventually! But I really want an S10 Xtreme 4.3L supercharged really bad too...but even with all the power it would still be on coilovers and down.

 

[Skuce]

Hehehe...sorry about the mixup.
