springs

im looking for some springs to lower my 5th gen about 1.5 inches all the way around...first...i know its not that much of a drop but do you think i would need a camber kit...last...any suggestions on which springs to get...im looking at the neuspeed sport springs right now...what do you guys think...thanks fellas

I put the neuspeed sports on my 4gen and needed no camber adjustment, but have heard different things about them on a 5gen.

ya...i put the neuspeed sports springs on a 3rd gen i had and i did need a camber kit...how much was your drop?

Yo man I just put on an H&R sport springs. Lowered it about 2 inches, even though it says 1.8 on box. And my camber is OFF. So i don't know about that low, 1.5 you might just be fine wit a good alignment when your done. I have a type SH as well, which i heard lower a few tenths more than base models with certain springs. I'm no expert tho, good luck.

1.7 in front, 1.5 in back advertised. I didn't measure before and after. The bottom of my car is about 3.5 inches off the ground though. I've had them for the past 20,000 or so miles and there's no irregular tire wear.

thanks for you help fellas

why do people lower their cars anyways? well...i understand some cars...but not ludes....aren't they low enough already?

i have to be extra friggin careful when leaving places so i don't bump the bottom of my bumper or scrape my crossmember (the lowest part on the front of my 5th gen)...geez, if i had any kind of kit on my car, it'd be almost undriveable on a slope, and its stock height.

Because:

Lower center of gravity = better handling.
I don't want to drive a monster truck.. err.. car. :uhoh:
I like he go-kart feeling.
It looks 100Xs better.
Wheel gap is hideous.

you forgot, Now you an excuse to not carry fat chicks in your car

Amen! Except I already had one, and that is that they don't fit.
