I NEED COILOVERS !! All i have is sprint lowering springs and they arent doin it for me. does ANYbody have their car lowered so that the wheels are tucked in the wells?. i havent seen anyone with that. thats how i want mine but there must be some obstruction that prevents it. Unless, no one this forum has any style. but thats not the case. show some pics and tell me your suspension set ups please. thanks

3.5 inch lowering is NOT good for your axles...go 1.5" MAX with the GC/AGX combo or 2" max with the Motiational Setup...read kojimas artical on suspension setups. im too lazy to get you the link so do a search for it

i got 2 inches right now and my axles are fine. i guess theres really no point in buying a coilover set up then. thanks for your help.later

coilovers are the only real way you are going to get that low without cutting springs or going airbags.

but i will tell you, its a pain to have your shit tucked. I am a big fan of a slammed car but its rough. my boy had an integra that was lowered like 3.5 or 4 inches and it had 17's on it! he couldnt even make a 90 degree turn in his ride. i looked dope. but thats too much!

Lowering your car that much will give you the worst ride... I hope you like bouncing out of your seat... If you have money to burn, then buy the motivational coilover setup for about 1600 and you'll be able to go that low(still not recommended.)

Sprint Springs with 1 coil hacked all around... rides well until you blow out the struts... I need to upgrade to the moti setup.

the sprints were my frist pair of springs I had. they were weird on my classic. the front was really low and the back was super high! I said forget that and bought Sportlines. has that happen to anybody else with Sprint?

that's pretty weird... mine were higher than I wanted, but nothing like that. Mine keep settling also, my car keeps getting lower over time...

So because my car isnt "tucking" that means I have no style? How about I dont feel like wearing my tires unevenly, blowing my struts, and having trouble making a U turn. I like my car the way it is. Just a little lower than stock, and still rides nice.

no need to get all defensive dude. i just like a little tuckage personally. Your car looks chill the way it is, im just not the happy with mine.

You may want to try Arospeed coilovers. They may meet or exceed your standards for quality. :rolleyes:

Of course it's going to be lower in the back... that's just how the body is... the rear fender is lower than the front... I tuck tire in the back and have about 1" clearance in the front...
I used a di(sp?)grinder to cut them. My tokico's lasted about 6 months...

Where can I pick up a set of adobe coilovers? I'm looking to try something new. Never heard of them. Do you have a website?
