Hey all, i just put on some bilstein pss10 coilovers on my car and am trying to get the perfect setup. Im trying to get that perfect look from it, without dumping it. I really like where the front is at right now, but the back seems a little high and it hink it looks like the car is tipping forward. Please feel free to chime in, looking for some opinions. Sorry the pictures are so sh#tty, they were taking with camera phone with sand in the optics....

 

I agree with you. From what I can see the front looks good, but the rear needs to come down. I like when there is zero gap between the top of the tire and the edge of the fender.

 

Please brace for oncoming misspelling jokes...


PS- lower the back

 

hahaha i will get for the spelling, i know, but thats why i went with an engineering major, not english

 

rear need to be lower for sure

 

Like the wheels. How about you decide what is "perfect" for you.

 

Yea i figured someone would say that, and i feel that the rear should be dropped, but i just wanted to see people's input on the current setup before i did anything.

 

Front's ok.. Back's got to come down A LOT!

 

the front and rear could come down some more. Just look at the gap between the fender and wheel. Make sure there is no gap and your good.

 

I think im going to keep the front where it is.... i live in new york and potholes here are pretty terrible, plus on my daily commute i end up going over a few speed bumps and into steep driveways, so i dont want it to be to low. Thx for the advice though.

 

Besides the excitement of scraping the bottom of the car on speed bumps and scraping the front/rear on driveways, having the alignment screwed up, and having the suspension bottom out on potholes, what are some other advantages of lowering the car?

 

Lol that's one of the best posts I've ever read lol very ammusing... The alignment doesn't get ****ed up if you keep the height close to stock... Just get it realigned and fixed... The suspension won't be bottoming out because it's set to almost the minimum drop, so it has plenty of travel distance and as stated previously I'm not dropping the car drastically soscraping shouldn't be to big of an issue.... That being said I'm sure you are awareof the fact that cars handle a lot better when they have a lower center of gravity and less body roll... For street use it useless but I'm planning on doing a few autox this year so instead of replacing my blown strut with oem o decided to buy these. Hopefully that clarifies it.

 

lmfao!!! hilarious!!!
