lowering questions and pics - Page 2

Tokico blue struts and Apex lowering springs, advertised at 1.6" drop all around:

I'm not satisfied with the drop, however, it's a very comfortable ride, doesn't sacrifice ride quality at all.

Either way, it's still alot better than it was before the lowering (4x4 mode!):

I think instead of going by manufacturers' specs on how much the drop is, it would be good to measure the distance either from the center of the wheel to the bottom edge of the fender, or from the ground to the bottom edge of the fender so that we have a better idea of which setup leaves you closer to the ground.

only problem with that is the size of the wheel and tire will affect it.

True for measuring from the ground up, so maybe we should measure from the center of the wheel up.

Yeah...you're going to have to replace those soon since they're going to blow

**tchnprgrmr** · 11-2-08, 20:51

yeah, i know it. i'm in college, so its on my list. I can already feel them giving out a bit, but I don't have the minimum of $200 lying around right now.

**Chefsp0t** · 12-5-08, 23:25

I am going to try to make a thread to replace this over the next few days. I am just getting geared up to find pictures of all the different setups. I will break it down like the other stickies and I will try to find suppliers for all the parts I list.
