Installed this morning. So far high speed, low speed, and comfort seem to be unaffected. The rears bottom out faster on large high speed bumps, but I had 600lbs of people in the car on my rough road testing.
Cornering is the same as before, these springs are pretty compliant. I love the look! Rubber air dam is now 4" off the ground.
Anybody know stock height from hub to fender? Apparently I got my measurements wrong before I swapped it out.
I went from 16.5" front to 13.5", and 16" rear to 13". The before measurements are definitely wrong. Any stock height hatches want to measure for me?
Also, who put them on, you or a shop? Was it hard? How about the bump stops, what did you do to them? Is the ride bouncy (stiff)? Does it handle better now? Does it make any unusual noises now that it's lowered (suspension)? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm seriously considering these Kspeed Storm springs since they have a very big drop. I'm like you, the lower the better, **** all the negativity!
Sitting at 13.1" in the front. Daniel drove the car tonight and thought it rode smooth.
Also, if it's at 13.1" front then it only dropped 1.4" up there, a far cry from the 2" claim by Kspeed! What about the rear, what's the dimensions back there now after lowering it?
Yo Danny5, can you take a side view pic at ground level without any downward angle (straight on) from both sides cuz it's very hard to tell how low it dropped since your car is black (the black tires seem to blend in with your current pics). Also, if I have 17" aftermarket rims will the tires tuck under more (less gap) since they're bigger than your 15" stockers or will it be the same?
