most of the draggers used to be high at the rear and lowered at the front..for better take offs!!

Pinoy Drag style!!

I perfer that look

Well the lowering springs will be stiffer so say hello to lots of understeer with the stock soft springs in the rear.

Nx2k305 · 03-05-2007, 11:45 PM

i think the lowering springs are softer then my stock ones. i have megan racing springs, but it doesnt ride bad. do you think i should leave it that way or do you think it looks gay? any opinions

Lowering springs 'should' be stiffer than stock springs and in the case of a car with limited travel to begin with, they should be a lot stiffer.

I haven't seen the car so can't really comment on the looks but I wouldn't do it.

those megan racing springs have a spring rate somewhere around 230. that is stiffer than the stock rates. it may feel softer or bouncy if you are using stock struts.

yea im using stock struts

if your ***** put the rears then no doubt you can drive it like that, we drove a honda civic about fifteen miles with the rear struts not bolted in hahaha but it was a civic, you shuldn't have anyproblems if your ***** drive the car normal, other then the funny looks

Its ok to drive a stock spring at the back.. Ive already tried my brothers car in the Philippines with stock spring at the back and lowered at the front..no problem...its like driving with bumpy at the front ( roads in the Philippines are not that good compared to here) other than that its ok..no problem on steering etc.... try it for yourself for a week and then installed the rear spring and feel the difference and your decided bring your car to alignment shop..

the look will be like drag car...

Dont know what your talking about?

It will not damage struts with those set up... lowered front and stock rear..

I dont think so will damage anything... My brother been using this set up since he bought his sentra years ago.. no problem...

having TWO 300+ pound friends in the car pretty much all the time when you drive a maniac can do that to struts
