I love the new suspension... it goes into corners awesome

All constructive criticism is welcome.... please no negative.
The wheels were a gift (thats why they arent bigger) and I was grateful somebody spent that much so i am satisfied with them

like i said 1.7 inches... i live in WI so i didnt want to push it to far.... plus the wheels arent big so i didnt want it to look gay
 
Yeah Vogtland's are not a heavy drop, they are more about actual suspension feel and handling then just dropping.

Would love to see someone drop on B&G.

I'm glad to see people actually listening to me and using other springs from 97-03's on the 04+
 


Yeahhh, it's not a sharp drop but I'd be nervous about that myself.

My GP is my dd, and thinking back to this past winter, I think I'd have gotten stuck quite a few times if I were lowered any more than OP is, with the size of the mounds and drifts left over from what the plow guys here do... they're not the most thorough bunch.

I can see the difference though, I like it... I like the wheels too, maybe just a tinyyyyy bit bigger if I bought them myself!

Orly?

I live further north of you in NY, I'm dropped on SSC's, riding on 18" All-seasons and never corrected the camber. Never got stuck once and it is driven daily in a lot of snow storms. Just gotta be aware of where your driving and your surroundings. Also...I'm about to go lower....alot lower...probably a 3-4" drop overall
 
Well I mean Im not talking about snowfall quantities or being careless, just that when the plow guys go down the road, at every intersection they go straight through so sometimes a pretty tall wall of snow is left over and they dont go back to clean it up or plow the rest of it away, just 1 pass and they say good enough... and sometimes where Im at they dont plow at all for a day or 2...

And I realize these cars are plows in themselves, I bash through everything, but even at my stock height I get hung up on this crap sometimes...maybe they plow better where you are. Maybe Im wrong, I could be since I never drove a lowered car in the snow, but it just seems to me if I almost get stuck on some of the higher stuff, I'd have to keep a shovel in the car with me should I lower very much.
 
its okay, dont explain urself. there arent many people who have the balls to daily drive a lowered car. its not that hard tho. i keep a lil shovel anyways and im stock ride. helped me much when i got stuck in the blizzard.
 
yeah i was thinking about going with the ssc's, i like it a bit lower than this one, but now that he posted the before pics i can see the difference
 


Racine. Just south of Oak Creek lol I've probably seen your car around before.

Yes the roads in Wisconsin are terrible. They've literally opened up and swallowed things whole lately .
