Question for deputydog95...

Which springs do you have and what other suspension mods?

Also how much do they drop your car?

Thanks,
Corey

As Gary previously stated, I just checked off the "Turbo Wannabe" package on the order sheet

I'm using the Cargraphic sport springs with the stock shocks. I don't track the car so saw no need for coilovers. It's about a 35mm drop, leaving just a slight gap between the tire and the fender.

The ride is nice. A little fimer than before with less body roll. Got some mileage on this setup and haven't noticed any negative effects. I'm sure coilovers work better, but again, for street driving this setup works great. I wouldn't go any lower than this anyway, so the ride height adjustability would be useless. When the time comes, I'll just throw in some bilstein sport shocks (a little shorter to cope with with lowered ride height). From what I understand, I should have no problem going 20-30K miles on the stock shocks, which equates to about 4-5 years for me.

Do you know if you ordered the 35mm(45mm over US) kit or the 25mm kit(35mm over US). I'm guessing you ordered the 25mm kit.


P.S. I'm torn between going your route with new sport shocks and sway bars later on or the ROW 030 all at once, but it might be too high for me.
Thanks,
Corey...

Not sure. There wasn't an option when I bought them. I got mine directly from cargraphic usa. check out the usa version of the site. my drop was about 1.25-1.5". I'm not sure by what you mean "xxmm over US".

How many miles are on your car? If it's fairly new, just go with the springs for now unless you plan on doing a tremendous amount of track time. The springs with newer stock shocks are more than fine for spirited street driving. The ROW suspension is a little high for my taste.

My car has about 13,000 miles on it.

Could you do me a favor and measue the height between the ground and your front lip. I know you have a different bumper but, how often do you scrape?

Did you put on an engine protection plate, if yes, then whose?

Thanks in advance,
Corey...

P.S. Sorry for so many questions, but I'm the kind of person who researches everything before they buy....
