whats wrong with having them as a DD? just dont have them that low.

Oscar1017 · 12-10-2009, 07:25 PM

VV He has a point you can daily drive coilovers anytime just dont have them too low thats the advantage of having coiilovers that you can adjust their hieght ...

FahrenheitFarmer · 12-10-2009, 07:32 PM

I DD on my racelands at high height all the time. Actually, its not even high, just high enough where the front lip clears the curb, but not a millimeter more. Springs wont give you the adjustability. I can look low whenever I want, and ride comfortably (for the most part) all other times.

GTIGUY03 · 12-16-2009, 05:51 PM

ahh, reason being i dont want to dump that kinda money in my DD. im not worried about ride quality. my cobalt ss/sc sits on K sport coilovers and im slammed as low as it will go. ride quality dosnt bother me. $ does. i want it as low as i can go for as cheap as possible with out loosing quality.

since you are slammed on you ss/sc then you can understand when you go low you dont necessarily want to cheap out. if your ride is bouncy as **** when you are slammed...thats just not a good idea. get raceland, if you can, and lower it otherwise my recommendation is use FKs. they are stiffer and since you are lower it will be better.

GTIGUY03 · 02-07-2010, 08:51 PM

yea, im still kickin around coilovers for the dub... there are a lot of cheap options for those aswell. ill look into raceland for sure. how low can i go without running into clearance issues? i think i seen a picture of a notches frame for an axle or a tie rod maybe? just passed over it didnt look too close?

HoopaChalupa · 02-07-2010, 11:24 PM

ya notches are for the axles so it doesnt hit the frame. how low you go without clearance issues isnt a simple question. it depends on what wheel/tire setup you are running. i feel a safe answer is 2inches going with 18s and beefy tires.
