Lowering Springs
 
I have a 2004 V6 Vert that I would like to lower a couple inches without loosing to much ride comfort. I have heard that H&R lowering springs are nice but their $225.00. I found some American made lowering springs on E-Bay with a LifeTime Gaurantee for about $100.00 from Dynamic Racing Products. Any suggestions. Oh by the way, the car has 18" Bullitt wheels with 255/40/18 tires. Looks awsome, but needs to be lowered a few inches. Please help with any advice you can. Thank you. Drive-On :o

To me you get what you paid for.You could go with some no name spring's from EBay or get the proven H&R's for the win!!

DWanous 06-18-2006 03:14 PM

Thanks, I'm sure your right. For a small price difference it's not worth the risk. Do you have any photos of your car I can view to see how much the H&R's lowered it? Drive-On

Hello Lance03. Thanks for the great photos. Your car looks sweet.
One last question. Did you need to install Caster/Camber plates?
Thanks again for your help. Drive-On

Lances03SVT 06-18-2006 04:56 PM

No I did'nt.Been on for over 2 years and still rides and drives perfect.

Grimmz 06-20-2006 07:21 PM

yeah man H&R's on the 6bangers are the same, I got pix of my 03 V6... just go with the H&R they're a lil more, but in the long run they will save you, and it's SUCH a great ride... as for CC plates, yea u should get them, but they're not absolutely necessary, so if you need like a month to save up again for them, "cuz install rates on springs is high as ****" u'll be fine...

It's the same as doing the GT.

Don't forget the shocks and struts. The H&R's are going to kill those stockers...

r a new set of shocks & struts absolutely necessary when putting h&r springs on? if so, which ones would u suggest for a 04 sixer?

Codiddy 07-05-2006 04:15 PM

thats a split school of thought and also depends on how many miles your stockers already have on them. But springs will wear out the stock shocks and struts quicker.

TClark22 07-05-2006 06:41 PM

determined...dont worry about the shock and struts now...considering your car like mine is an 04 sixer...so shocks and struts are pretty damn new!

And those are eibach pro's, works well with the stocks and the low-pros.

TClark22 07-09-2006 10:23 PM

i see the car is still look good :beerchug:

i just ordered H&R's so hopefully i will be lower than u!

Milos 07-10-2006 07:15 AM

Hey man I gotta take care of my father's bank loan, **** right? =P Don't go much lower than what I have, either of you, they're good springs but if you got bumpy roads... not worth it.

trickedoutstangg 07-24-2006 04:13 PM
