Lowering rear only?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys ive had this question on my mind for a while. ive noticed a few people lowering their cars and theb reseting the rear springs, if one was to say lower the rear springs only would this be similar to restting the rears on a lowered set up?

That would look retarded. rear slammed and front still way up high. you want even stance.

guys are resetting their rears because they're current lowered springs like mine (king springs low) in the rear sits slight higher than the front. Which gives ur ride a forward 'dipped' stance. from side on view.. it looks uneven.. and the more you look at it.. the more you notice that big gap where ur whole fist can go through. i think im guna just go superlows on my rears. then i'll be happy.

The "dipped" stance comes like that from the factory.

Lowering just the rear would mean that your ride would be quite uncomfortable. Front will be soft and rear will be stiff. With superlows, the drop isnt even that much more lower. There's still a gap.

What I recommend is that you get a set of springs and reset the rears to desired height OR get a set of coilovers which requires a bit of saving.

If superlow rears drops it a further 20mm from what it is now, i'll be happy as larry. :lol:
