Don't know if this is common practice or not..so don't flame to hard...8]

I lowered my '07 Coupe just the rear, KYBs and H&R springs.

Dropped 1"~1.2" and the car now sits level which I like, also didn't have to deal with the alignment as the front wasn't touched neither the rear eccentrics.

Rides like OEM and handles good, will have to massage or roll fenders a bit but thats due to the rear 19x10.5 +18 offset and 285/35-19 tires.

The springs/shocks have about 3K miles so I am not expecting they will drop too much more and if they do then I'll do the fronts. I am not looking at slammin' the car which is my daily.

Will post a couple of pics asap.
What do you guys think?

Laterzzz...

 

Will decide if it was a smart move when you post pics.

 

definitely wanna see some leveled pics...

 

Yep, let's see pics. It seems like it would upset the balance of the car in actual cornering situations. Especially on a track, but if you daily drive it and it feels good, I guess that's good.

 

+ 1 on the pics....... as long as it "looks level" i dont see whats wrong with it

 

 

pics coming real pronto...

 

here'ya go ..I like it, rides excellent ...

BEFORE:





AFTER:

 

maybe its just me but I don't see a 1-1.2" drop. .5" at most

 

Looks good to me.

 

Used H&R springs and KYB GR2s, supposed to be 1"~1.2", it looks to me about 1".
Hopefully the springs are stable and won't drop no more (have aprox.3K miles).

Worst case I'll drop the fronts, not really into the "slammed" look though, to each it's own..

Laterzzz...

 

good

 

very nice

 

What rims are those? and size.

 

You are going to need the rear aligned!!!

 

I'm dropped -1.25" and thats definitely not even close to -1.2"

 

Volk GT-S

 

Why would you need to get the rear aligned? Not necessary for only a 1" drop I thought.

Looks pretty good to me. I thought it was gonna look a little funny, but the car does look pretty level. Nice job.

 

+1...im dropped 1.2" also and mine looks way lower

 

No, its a camber kit that is not needed for less than a 1 inch drop. With or without a camber kit it still needs alignment. Front caster and toe will probably be off too.
