my suspension sucks! need help?

[swerv600]

I just recently lowered my 2g w/megan racing spring (2"front & rear), that on stock struts& shocks. I'm also riding on 17x7 w/215/45/17, now my problem is that the rear is sitting lower than the front and rear camber looks horrible(got ingalls rear camber kit is on the way).
I hate the way this whole set up is riding,can anyone give me some suggestions and advise.

For starters you say the rear camber looks horrible...did you get an alignment after you installed the new springs?

 

[swerv600]

no not yet, because I haven't got my camber kit in yet. But Y is my rear sitting lower than the front?

It sounds like your rear shocks have had it. Time to upgrade!

Time to upgrade to real springs

and real sized tires


smallest acceptable tire size is 225 45 17

lowest acceptable drop is 1.25 -1.3. (Ie eiback prokit)


sounds like you are trying to completely screw up the car, get ricer points, and possibly have already fubar'd the struts by running 2" drop springs on them.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you could have saved yourself time and money buy pressing "Search".

if your woundering why you dont have the desired ride.. look at ur setup


droped 2" on stock struts....


thats crazy

save up buy eibach, tein, maxspeed coilovers, and then buy good struts... that very inportant.


im running eibach pro kit and agx's on my 420a 95.... things like a box of rocks though very stiff.. go with a suttle drop like 1.2 and get Gr-2s kyb and ull have a decent riding stock feelin suspension

agreed, you need the whole package for a good handling car. the increased spring rate will blow out a set of stock shocks in no time. do it right and you will be surprised what happens.

Shocks don't hold the car up, the springs do. Make sure you have the fronts installed correctly. How much lower is the rear from the front?

As said, the current shocks will not last long with aftermarket springs.

 

[ddavisaf]

Your rear will sit lower regardless. You have stiffer springs in the front to compensate for the weight of the motor. Also, if you have anything in the back like subs and such it'll drop the back even more. If you're going to looks I'd get some okay struts even some monroe sensatrac's... and some eibach springs. If you want performance. KYB AGX struts with Ground Control Coilovers.

Thanx fellas, I needed that. I went ahead and bought a whole new setup (TEIN DAMPER kit).




Got my camber fixed and installed the damper kit, it made a big difference. The car feels like its riding on air(smoothhh!)
