    Hey guys I've been looking thru the forum and I didn't see a spring that can take the car down about 2" or a little more and have a good load rate... Anyone got any ideas???

    SSC's will only go maybe 1.5in, and that will take many miles for the springs to settle.

    Your better off with a different spring or coilovers.

    Yes. Will make for good times.


    Side note, my SSC's dropped me a little over 2" and ride pretty decent. Obviously the ride isn't stock, but it's not too shabby.

    I'ld highly reccomend a SSC route for a first time dropper, like me. Easily a close to 2" drop like Machinegun said. On 90,000 FE3s and smooth..semi-
    Stock feel

    Yes, that is the plan for mine. I did the math, and while a little pricey, it should be better in the long run.

    Mine went a little below a 2" drop.

    If your going to spend the money on agx's I would agree the coilover route would be a good choice.

    I figure- $150 for AGX's. $250 for Springs, and under $20 for antipogo warshers. I've never seen coilovers nearly that cheap

    You may want to do some research the agx blow out quick when lowered. The cheaper gr2 seem to hold up slot better and are ***cheaper**

    My SSC's aka the ones I bought straight from canuck motorsports only got me around 1in so far. Either its a "bad" set or I just don't drive enough to break them in lol.

    I run KYB GR-2/SSC combo.

    coilovers run about 175-200 for everything per axle so just add that to the strut price. if you wana pay for helds or something like that than youll have to pay to play on that
