for example the height,dampening,spring weight(how much they can lift),coil over or just separate design.

hmm, I'm guessing a 2"drop from the front and a 1.5"drop from the rear.coil over system(i still don't know if going for manual or electronic control.

and idk much on the other parts,lol.but hey this is a forum I'm here to learn.so enlighten me on the rest of the parts.

it would be hard for my car i could prob do the same 1.5 back 2 in da front its just with the 17 inch wheels and the body kit it makes it hard

remeber that a cars balance is important...not the ride hight...yes lowering the center of gravity is helpfull in most situations but not in all..if you for example have an unbalanced ride with wieght centerd twards the rear just slightly..on corners..you may have an understeer issue....to much weight in the front and you have an oversteering issue..so you see..balance is important..thats why cars with just lowering springs dont handle aswell as cars with a fully ajustable one..becouse of the adjusted balance...let me know how this mod goes man....this will be rather interesting.

510ryder

so in a way u use lowering springs to also drift better to help move the weight balance

projectX

no...the use of lowering springs is just to lower the center of gravity...it helps increase your turning capabilitys by reducing body roll...but ..you cannot ajust them...unlike coil-overs..ie.."coil spring over an ajustable gas shock"...wich replaces your stock spring and or lowering springs...there is alot to concider before going this way..if you dont have skill to even shift wieght..then lowering springs are fine..but for me..i initialize the drift with a fient or enertia style...so more controll for me is better couse i concentrate on the recovery after the apex...thats my style..im still a begginer thou..

510ryder

ok thanks for the info so just for street racing lowering springs are fine

JEV

lol, yeah i'll update you on this setup,lol.

so if it gets heavier in the front i need to lower the rear a lil more?or just lighten up the front?

suspension is all geometry, engineering and like project said balance. its way easier to screw it up and make it worse then to improve on the stock engineered suspension. sure it may "feel better" but more often then not, its worse. its all about the tires anyways...

so if not doing major racing it is best to leave stock right?
