    after drop question

    I just drop my car with H&R springs...i read some where that the springs take time to drop at its full length? because to be honest before the drop my car had that big ass wheel gap on 15's and i lowered with the H&R springs with some 16's and i dont see the difference... that drop is not bad but im not sure if its gonna drop lower... i installed it two weeks ago with some GR2's....your help is very much appreciated. thanks

    cutting the bumpstops gives you more suspension play. its just a lil insurance so if you ever are close to bottoming out, you have an extra inch of play on your suspensiion to take dips and bumps.

    i hope so......i didnt cut anything...and the bumpstops where exactly is it in the suspension...???...for the ride the H&R springs are not bad... its not as good as the stock ride but since im lower to the ground i can feel more bumps, the ride is driveable but i wish the drop would be alittle bit lower... i wanna fit atleast 2 fingers between the fender and the 16's.....thanks for the feedback....

    you don't see a difference but can u measure a difference with a ruler??

    yea, u did lower the car.

    but you also went with a bigger wheel size. which means a thinner sidewall than before. and with a thinner sidewall, you get the optical illusion that your fender gap is bigger. thats why factory cars look much better than people who run low profile tires but forget to lower the car.
