its sittin on 18s 2inch dish, i asked for a one inch drop, but does that look lower than what a 1 inch drop would do?

im planning to buy tokico coilovers that come with 1inch drop and wasnt sure if itll look the same due to my car maybe being a bit lower than that

thanks

damn, thats a nice clean car, i like the blue, i think 18s are too big but look good here. nice wheels. wut kind are they. but after the struts your gonna have to go smaller

**Lelle_g** · 2-25-08, 3:09

**kid_puma** · 2-25-08, 10:06

I love the espec headlights, blue paint, and the wheels. To answer your question it does look like the car was dropped more than an inch.

**The_Evil_Demon** · 2-25-08, 13:13

Very Nice. It looks pretty low to me. Now tint and possibly a lip kit and you're done. Unless of course your going turbo.

**1995 MX6** · 2-25-08, 14:13

Actually, that looks an awful lot like a 1" drop. The mx6 factory is a really low car, my car is actually sitting a little higher than stock (stiffer struts and higher comp. rate springs with same free length and # of coils = higher) and it's still pretty low. I'd say that's probably as advertised.

**Lelle_g** · 2-25-08, 16:00

thanks guys and yer window tint is on the list

i wanna get new shockies and springs cuz mine are shot, bounce all over the place!

**vandejm** · 2-25-08, 16:11

it may look like more than a one inch drop since he has the big wheels on there which will eat up the gap

What do you mean you "asked" for 1" drop, find a magic genie or something?

Tokico doesn't have coil-overs for our car, just springs with a 1" drop. Did you have the springs cut or something?

**T-Money** · 2-25-08, 22:50

it looks like a 2inch drop to me i have dropzones with a 1.8inch drop and yours looks a little lower than mine

**Lelle_g** · 2-26-08, 7:30

well i asked the place that put in my springs for a one inch drop, they said they could get em resized, using that heating method i believe, bit dodgey

maybe coilovers was the wrong word, them tokico hp non adjustables are the ones i want, the blue struts and red springs ones

probly an easier way to work this out would be to ask if anyone knows the stock height from a point of the underbody and ill measure it up against mine, so does anyone know?

**mhale71** · 2-26-08, 7:36

people are a bunch of idiots, i have mentioned wanting to lower my car for performance nad i was told to cut the springs. i mentioned getting aftermarket shocks and specific springs too which i got laughed at.

**Lelle_g** · 2-27-08, 1:37

that sucks dude, have you gotten it done though? cutting is illegal

**sixer11** · 2-27-08, 8:36

^^ What size tire do you have, 225/40 or 225/35.
