Guys with lowered Z's

Considering buying some springs soon. Have any pics of your car lowered? Also how much of a drop did you take? Looking at 1.75in drop springs. Did they settle over time and drop more? I only want 1.5-1.75 total drop and I'm a little worried they may settle. What do you think?

Most lowering springs tend to settle up to 1/2 inch.

If you replace your shocks at the same time you can minimize this.

Pics in the sig of Eibach sportlines, drops usually around 1.8 in total. The front air damn as mention before is the only thing that will really scrape which dosen't matter because it was meant to be hit and scraped and can handle it all. All you have to do is take inclines and declines at an angle, ne sure your car is at an angle facing the incline but the tires are straight at it kind of thing. You also may need an adjustable panhard rod to center the rear, thats the only susp. mod really needed right away when lowering the car. New shocks will come farther down the line. Good luck.
