Time to lower my car... i need some help

[rick_dang1987]

ok guys. so i think its a good time to lower my car but im still noob about supspentions set up. i was thinking to buy the f&f coilover for easy install but i saw that it is too low for me(stock wheels n tires) . so i change my mind and i will buy a set of tokico struts, n tein s tech springs. My question is what else i need to buy (to go with struts and springs) to get everything done? thanks!!!

shocks/struts and springs are all you need. coilovers are definitely the better choice though, because you can set the height to whatever you want.​

you think there too low NOW but when you lower the car about a inch or whatever with the springs your gonna want to lower it alot more in a week or so..so my advice is to get the FF's

The thing with FF is that even at the highest setting, it still might be too low for some people. IIRC, This was a recent issue for someone on this forum.

Most people desire slammage but some people just want moderate drops.

That should be a good setup, Rick.

FF states that theirs can go up to stock height, but when I installed them at the highest setting, I believe it was still an inch and a half or so below stock height .. Not a problem though, I proceeded to lower it much more, and now my subframe is dying hahahaha .. kinda not funny

ff at highest settings was more 4x4 than my sportlines, id say go ff because its got the same highth and has the option for lower if wanted

OP, FF1s FF2s FF2.5 won't get you anywhere close to stock height.
Personally, i wouldn't thread the lower collar of the damper more then 3/4 out (ie. 1/4 being threaded in at a minimum) & and i'd be willing to bet that at that setting you'd be nowhere close to stock height.

If you think you'd be ok with about a pinky finger gap(or less) from the fender to tire then FF should suit you fine. Just consider the road conditions and your daily routines in means of bumps/potholes etc.
