Which to do 1st :kit or drop

[brandon]

Yeah it's like $40 from Autozone, and you can keep it as long as you need it, and then you get your money back when you return it.

hey guys, i kinda have this problem too! im not sure what to do first

sorry for butting in ur topic though

so the thing is i have a gtz as u know, and the wheel gap is not as much as the other trims, and i have a messed up front bumper, so would it be ok for me to just get a front bumper from a kit and not do the drop? cuz i kinda like the stiff, but not too stiff feeling of the OEM "sport" suspension. and im sure the girls like that too!

coilovers: 160
front bumper: 200+?

i feel that priority is the fix my bumper.. would kit-front bumper'ed G look ok on GTZ suspension height?

..and i just realized i posted in the 7G forum. hahaha! im such a newbie..

it won't look good if you just have the front bumper because the lines won't line up. Unless you can find a kit that doesn't hang lower than the oem bumper. IMO.

yea i'm definatly gonna drop it first and get a kit late this winter. i'm working on some ideas to customize the erbuni kit to make it one of a kind.

how much lower is the kit compared to the stock bumper?

and can i install the springs myself or is it easier to have someone helping

Front bumper is probably like a 2 1/2 - 3 inch drop, maybe a bit more.

You CAN install the springs by yourself but you'd want to kill yourself halfway into it without someone helping you.

Now i can just buy the springs and put them on right. nothing else to buy. and are there any problems that could come from dropping.

[brandon]

You could just buy the springs but if you're smart you'll buy aftermarket struts too.

KYB GR2s are relatively cheap ($35-40) and will outlast your stock struts and create better ride quality.

what type problems will i get with my car lowered.

[Kalamidad]

your Cv joints break faster and you'll scrape a lot of things if you are not careful. but i thing a drop is worth it.
Drop It First.

If anyone has pics of a 7g with a 2"drop could you please post em so i can see what to expect. there getting installed monday but i just wanna see anyway

[nofxfuk]

I agree drop it most cars look nice when u drop em especialy if u got some rims

[Kalamidad]

go forth and customize, make sure you post your "uniqueness"
