Spring pad question

[sschin]

I am going to stack the spring pads in the rear but i was wondering if i could stack the front upper spring pads?

the suspension is lowering 60/40
and i was thinking of putting a upper spring pad 9mm thick and rear one 10mm thick
so it would be more like 51mm/30mm...

because 60/40 with the reiger style front lip and my stock bottlecaps are going to be really low... any thoughts?

With a 40mm drop in the rear, I wouldn't double up on pads.

[sschin]

so don't stack the rears just maybe put in the 10mm pad in place of the 7.5mm pad?

Can the fronts be stacked?

[nando]

you should have no problems stacking the fronts. actually it should be easier since the fronts are just a flat doughnut shape, they don't have the nubs like the rear pads do.

[KenC]

I wouldn't add any pads to the front. A 60mm drop isn't going to drop you low enough to be damaging the lip.

[sschin]

OK thanks... I guess I won't put any pads in and see how it is... i just cancelled my spring pad order...

Thanks for the fast responses...

Whoa in an M20 yes it is. That is feakin' low, think where Jordan's lip is.

[KenC]

60mm is around 2.5". Jordan dropped the front of his car around 3 or even a bit more I believe.

Just run stock pads all around and profile in to driveways and such, you'll be fine.

A 3 inch drop on a cupkit? :shock:

Jordan's front wheel gap is more than mine and I am lowered about 2.6-7".

Wheel gap is not an accurate measure of drop. Wheel and tire sizes vary.

From the ground to the center of my front wheel well lip is 23.75in
From the ground to the center of my brothers eta front wheel well lip is 26in

I think both of our overall diameters are very similar. And I measured mine to be 23.75 as well IIRC. So I guess we are even :)

Haha, I caught your post before the edit, saying your brothers car was 25.75".

See, according to what he just posted his car is lowered 57.15mm. Like I said, the same.

The tire is half deflated. Its likely more then 26.
