    Has anyone installed this kit and NOT dropped it all the way down. I'm looking to run a little drop on my car, but I dont want it slammed. Wondering if this kit would be good for me...?

      Well, if u just want a slight drop, 1 to 2 inches, then u might be better off with a spring shock upgrade and get a better quality product for about the same price.

          Same price? Not happening. If you buy a new spring/shock upgrade you are looking at 600-700 for the 1-2" drop. If you buy used you could get away with it.

          Still waiting on a spring rate number or comparison to some common spring/strut combo

            GB still on?

            What are the front and rear spring rates?

            Did the seller in London drop the price even lower than $380 shipped due to all the interest?

            Let me know!

            Thanks

              I was referring to used but maybe u could find a new set for a steal around 500 ?? I'm just saying that if I didn't want adjustability but want lower, I prolly wouldn't go this route. IMO

                    Run the jom rear spring with out perches. Should be lower then your sig pics. Takes a week or 2 to settle as well

                    The Tokico kit is comparably priced and has received ok reviews.

                    Spring rates and comparisons have been given throughout this thread

                      mine is not all the way down and you can have a very decent ride height with these. you can drop it enough to tuck your rear and front tires a bit on stock wheels and still not rub or scrape anything. plus you will still be able to raise it up enough for 4x4 status (if you like that sort of thing) . this kit can take you from "big wheel gap"(a bit less than stock)- to no wheel gap. and adjust as desired in between

                      perfect for DD and will get you the ride height you desire. this kit will not "slam" your car. but it can get it low enough to scrap and get you to fear driveways and bumps.

                        sits right where i want it for DD. and i could go much lower up front and half an inch more in the rear( but then i drag on speedbumps)

                        i gotta use two different jacks to get my car off the floor to work on it. stock jack that barley goes under the side and gently move her up so i can fit a reg one in. but then gotta use the stock jack to get the reg out out from under her. then the stock one is stuck under and i gotta lift on the car to get it out! hahaha
                        Drive up on wood planks..I got two that get me exactly high enough to rool my jack under :up:
