Finally got her lowered..

[MekstingerGT]

Super happy with the drop. Was hoping the front would had a little more drop to it.

 

[Cristobal09]

I think that drop is perfect, love the wheels.

Looks good, may drop a little more once the springs settle in

Eibach I presume? Everyone I've seen with Eibach has a tad bit of reverse rake, mine included.

Yes eibach. I'm hoping when does settle itll be more on the front lol.

 

[TwistedOrca]

Still, nice and clean looking. Tasteful

I think they're that way when stock too. When I first had mine lowered I was unhappy with that then I noticed it's normal.

But your car looks good regardless. Don't let that bother you.

Watch out for high spots and cross your fingers.

Looks great. How's the ride quality?

High spots? Bumps or dips?

So far so good. Highway cruise is better than stock but you can definitely feel the imperfections on side roads.

Lol. Bumps, my friend, the ridgy kind in particular, the unpainted ambushing kind specifically. I KNOW. Had my Stinger been lowered, I would be Stingerless right now, for the last month, and probably months to come, if I ever got my car back. That one inch, ONE, saved her. You will want to katty korner over gutters, parking lot entrances, driveway entrances, too, or else you're going to scrape up her pretty chin.

Good to know thanks. Im hoping that the added wheel diameter makes up for the lost of drop. Of course now I have to worry about not bending my wheels because of the 30series tires lol.

did you do your own install? if so how hard was it?

Nope not at all. It came with 3 or 4 screws and a very thin cheap double sided tape. I went out and bought industrial 3m tape and more screws.
