Lowering with stock springs
Since you asked.........
I have been lowering cars with their stock springs,
and shocks. That way the ride comfort is close to stock,
and the car doesn't get beat up. Suspension geometry isn't
ruined, when it can be adjusted instead...............but
some people don't know how to do that.
In the process of lowering, I use stock adjustments/specs
where possible, so it doesn't eat tires, and sometimes
I make a few parts that are far cheaper than "the latest thing".
If you want to see what can be done with your stock parts,
while you are saving up for the high dollar stuff, get back
with me. When I see the car, I can tell you what
can be done with your particular car.-Bob
