Yes you can all stop giving me cr@pola now as I got my springs installed today....and I must say it looks damn sexy.

As soon as I can get pics i will.

Sorry guys but the hilux stance had to GO!!!

argh *** (Go d is censored wtf) damn

i clicked your profile to see if i can get a look at your car and got greated by a guy in a dress (you i take it).

What springs did you get ?

I guess AZZA or sportiv can now take over the mantle of the Hilux stance!!

Bren, think of it more now that we are unique....

No, actually, after parking beside the Snowflake a couple of Thursdays ago, I think the Buddhamobile definitely holds that mantle ... for now

A dying breed perhaps....

Yes, but still unique...

It means that I can go over Speed Bumps with out having to do the whole sideways thing...

very unique,, as my stance will be lowered soon aswell.

About freakin time! It should have been the first thing you did.
You'll find it should help a little with your strip time too.

Sads,

Brenndan & I found the perfect car for you the other night.

We really think you should sell the Sportivo and invest in this...

However, Steve won't allow me to post attachments (hint hint ) so I cant show you.

I can however, email to you....

Post in your garage or gallery album and add a link

How far are you guys dropping your cars?

Assuming drive.com.au has the details correct (well, they do have the petrol tank size wrong) then the ground clearance of my new '05 Sportivo is 113mm.

Victoria has a minimum clearance of 100mm, so given that, the max 'legal' suspension drop will be just 13mm (about 1/2 inch) while keeping the body kit on.

I'd love to SLAMM! my car on the ground, but I know I'd never be able to drive it around where I live (or the way I usually drive) so I can't justify the cost for such a small drop when a conservative 35mm drop on my Rav4 was priced at just $600. Without the kit I'm sure a bigger drop would fill the wheel arches properly and really give the car a better look.

I'd go for a drop if I had to replace my suspension, but the 250,000kms I've done in my last 2cars over the past 5years didn't wear out my suspension so I don't think my ride will be lowered any time soon. (Though I hope I can be convinced otherwise)

I don't know how much they are getting lowered by with the kits that the guys are using here, but I do know that they look ok...

When I think about Snowflake though, I don't really think that you 'll really notice 1/2" drop....

Sportivo's sit higher than a norml corolla so 35mm drop is just nice. It's still relatively easy to get into driveways etc and I've been pulled up by the cops a few times and they've said nothing about the height. Check out the pics in the garage for heights etc.

Ditto, as recently as this Tuesday (let off after being pulled over for estimated 70-80 km/h in a 60 zone).

Anyway, my car dropped 40mm front and 45mm rear on Eibachs, and I've never been hassled. For that matter, driveways and speed humps are still no problem either.

PS. I thought we had all acknowledged that the Sportivo was an inch lower than standard 'rollas?

I have to admit, when I read Silvabullit's post, I questioned it in my mind, but I actually stumbled on the article that Wheels did on the Stivo when it was released and they reckoned that the dampers were stiffened and that's it.

Previous stuff I've read here suggests the Stivo had a 20mm drop in springs, as oz_viking mentioned, and the same dampers as the rest of the range.

Not that this makes a massive difference to my Conquest, but I'll be interested in seeing this query settled.
