what are you lowerd on?

[PaladinReed]

coupe specific springs from Vogtland and GC camber plates up front. They advertise 1.8 inch drop on coupes, so Id venture to say 2 inches + on a cab and more up front from the lower profile camber plates.

stock shocks? how does a vert feels lowerd?

[PaladinReed]

oh sorry. bilstein sports. it feels excellent. not too stiff but i dont see it settling much more if that makes sense. It will feel better with a cross brace let me tell you. (which is in the works) and I happen to be super paranoid alrdy about the oil pan. I measured and I have ~3inches from the ground to oil pan on a flat surface... D:

You will hafta get a profile pic up when the springs settle. Im in the works for looking for a nice drop for my vert and was thinking about the Vogtland. How much did that set you back? Where?

in before the "remove the m badge" replies.

[PaladinReed]

Vogtland NA has a website and they have decent customer service and the price is super reasonable. I credit the fronts largely to the use of two GC camber plates. (that cost considerably more than the springs themselves XD)

And yeah Ive heard about the front badge. hopefully it will get replaced with the real thing (Mtechnic OEM badges) But i wont mount them till next summer after complete paint and body is done anyway so it stays for the moment but will look a little less conspicuous here soon. Thanks for the comments so far guys!
