Post your drop with pics....

Ok.....everyone..just list your drop, how you like it, and a pic of the car too. Here's mine......

Mine is riding on Tein SuperStreet coilovers......
I love them it is the best mod I've done to my car......If I want I can have it at stock height and stock stiffness....or I can drop it 3" and have it super stiff. Each shock his height and dampening force adjustable(16 levels)..right now i have it set with a 2 finger gap between the tires and wheel arches and level 14 in the rear/13 in the front.....

Here's a couple pics.....

I lowered the golf with VAOS coilkover sleeves, worked fine for me. Dropped the car a good 4in, from the duckbill to the ground its 3.75in...I wanna reduce that by about half, just dont know what to do at this point..

Here's mine but it's not a car.

It's dropped 5 inches in the front and 7 inches in the rear, with Belltech components. The ride is a good compromise. It's not so stiff that you feel every little bump in the road but it handles far better than stock.

KW V1 Inox Coilovers. 35mm-65mm Drop Range. I'm currently at about 3in with about an icnch left to go on the coils. The ride is somewhat stiff but not bouncy...I love 'em!!!







The shine is from NXT...

Mine's dropped on H&R Sport springs. It's an 1.75 drop in front and 1.5 in back. I'm very happy with it, it's definitely been the best mod I've done to my car.

Ok..so I am a suspension newbie...

I would like to drop my ride a few inches, mainly to get rid of the fender gap. (Toyota Highlander) From what I've searched on Tire Rack and similar sites...there's no application for my vehicle...does that mean I'm SOL? I know their are some applications for the Camry/ES 300 as well as the RX300 which from what I understand are all the same platform...

Also...I sorta dig the big cushy ride (except it feels really loose when cornering)...is it possible to get rid of the fender gap...tighten up cornering but keep a pretty plush ride?

I dig all the photos by the way!

I gotta dig up my pictures from when the springs were first installed so you can see that your 1.75 is going to become 2.75 as the H&R's settle in.

Looks killer though!!
