    Default New Daily Driven Ride Height! YAY!

    I am finally sorta satisfied with my daily ride height...I just installed my BC Racing extreme drop kit. My setup is consist of a shortened casing and 18k/16k Swift racing springs. I had the ride comfort all the way at the stiffest settings also. Maybe I am just used to a stiff setup but I even think the 18/16 combo is too soft lol. As you all know I drive my car daily. I go to the midwest/east coast and the southern states fairly often and I can tell you that it is pretty comfortable. I do hear my 5zigen Fireball exhaust piping scrape every few seconds but its ok, I dont hear it as much since the piping is now flat haha. I am very satisfied with this setup. It has more potential to go loweeeerrr but for a daily I dont suggest you do it lol. Due to the stiff springs I haven't heard my control arms hit the upper strut mount area lol. Tire wear is obviously expected but you have to pay to play you know...I will be driving it at this height through Chicago and east coast winters. I was maybe an inch higher before driving it during the winter. Here are some pictures just to show the new ride height. Sorry about the messed up front bumper and dirty car...I just drove from DC to Chicago 2x within 2 weeks lol...enjoy!

    Shits dope, and especially 'coz it's static and daily d

    If I recall the bottom structure of the 2nd gen right, you should easily gain a inch clearance with your exhaust if you'd mod a bit of your bumper and exhaust hangers...
