1.5 or less drop people only. Survey
Saturday, February 26, 2005 11:08 AM
I am planing to buy a set of 1.5in drop springs soon. So I am conducting this survey as part of research.
This is only for people who did a drop with 1.5in drop or less with springs. No coilovers or air ride.

1.What make with drop size?:
2.What strutsare you using?:
3.Has any problems has happened? i.e.- axle problems, etc...?:
4.How long have you've been lowered?:

Thanks

1. 1998 Pontiac Sunfire SE on a 1.5 B+G drop
2. KYB AGX Struts
3. No, just a small creak from the rear i havent found yet, and the front left strut mount i didnt replace so it still makes noise but unrelated to the struts or springs. And i hit the hardest bump so far and i swear my heart fell through my ass. Other then that the ride is semi stiff and the body lean is gone. I dont find it uncomfortable. Feels "sporty"
4. 2 weeks

chevy z24 '99 with pro kit
Koni yellow
No problems at all
10 months

Never had a problem with bottoming out and don't expect too
The ride can be a bit stiff..you can feel most undulations in the road even on softest setting but I like it...

personally I think the goldline drop looks better but I doubt there is any performance difference....

I am getting a slight noise when turning from the left strut now but probably just the strut mount going again which is no surprise since with complete stock setup I had to have both strut mounts replaced at less then 25k km's...and now I'm at 97k
