What tire size are you running? I want to lower mine but am afraid of the rubbing/staggered issue. I've got 245/40/18's all around and they rub in the back with a heavy load. Waiting until they wear out for new tires..

I know spike is running on 225/45/18 all around.

Is it safe to drop the front and leave the back as is?

Funny you should ask that particular question. My car has a set of H&R springs on it. I was looking at the rear end of my car the other day and noticed that the back end had sagged nearly an inch over the last year or so(and 50k miles). I do have app. 80-90 lbs. in the trunk due to audio equipment, and the addition of another muffler.

Anyways, I recalled that the car used to have about a 1.5 inch fender gap in the rear with the stock rear springs, and after lowering came down to 1 inch gap.

Needless to say, I put the stock springs back in 2 days ago, and it looks great, with a slight slope towards the front of the vehicle now.

For the look maybe its fine, but me i take my car to the road course and i dont wanna imagine how crappy it would handle with stiff fronts and soft rear...imo either have it all or dont have it.

do all 4, its safer and better for your ride...dont be an idiot!

serdriver07 · #74 (**permalink**) 02-08-2008, 02:59 AM

much better for the struts if you do em all together so that weight is all evenly spread. cuz if the struts go then the springs are pointless

To date, I have not noticed a difference in the handling of my car, which does get driven rather hard, but it does have upgraded sway bar and strut tower brace as well
