Vortex: Thank you for the very detailed explanation, I got it now! I'm most likely gonna go with some moogs and some kyb shocks for the front and rear when I get the funds (after I get my new wheels mounted). Then I'll just chop the springs maybe a full coil, which probably still wouldn't be welcome in this thread LOL.

Mikey: You were right in thinking what I was thinking about bouncy rides. I did mean like..blown shock bouncy haha. Not suspension so stiff that car literally comes off the ground after a small pothole hahaha (over exaggeration).


You guys are probably the wrong people to ask about it, but when I get my 17x9.5/17x11's do you think it'll look funky sitting on stock height? I heard the actual wheel/tire combo itself is acutally 1/4" shorter than the stock wheel/tires combo.

 

it wont look terrible but id drop it AFTER you get the wheels if they are said to drop it a little already

 

Yeah definately, I'm already going to try my hardest to make them fit without having to use the BFH haha. I'd rather the wheel stick out 1/4" past the fender line then have to do that but that's just my preference. Last thing I need is to drop the car too much and run into some kind of clearance problem when the wheels come in (knowing my luck lol).

Guess I'll just have to refrain from hitting any jumps

I was in a foreign town about a year back and found out the hard way how it feels to JUMP my camaro.. Did it while showing up a mustang. After that, NEVER AGAIN will I floor it where I'm unsure if it's safe or not LOL.

 

ugh i did that about a year ago in the trans am..was trying to beat the light and the intersection was like /\ not as steep as that but you get the point..LIFTOFF!! hahah..

 

hahaha..yeah at first you think "I just ****en jumped my car..that was awesome!" then followed swiftly by, "****...i just jumped my car. that sucks.."

I bet with your suspension now though, you'll probably never bottom out again haha.

 

pics with lights on pls

 

exactly

yea i dont think it would haha..would hit bumpstops before anything..

huh?

 

 

 

 

Sick cars guys, keep it up!

 

anyone have pics of this car with lights on??

 

Not driveable at this height.

 

what's the point in this "slammed?" I can see lowering it an inch or 2 to get the gaps closer and maybe handle a bit better, but anything more just looks OFF. plus you won't be able to go over anything more than a deck of cards without creeping up on it. then it's even MORE of a pain to work on underneath than it already is.

 

Makes it look like a racecar. Looks great. Not so practical though so I'd never do it. But to those hwo have, your patience far exceeds mine.

 

what kind of rims are those?

 

what springs? thats perfect
the slammed are a breed of there own
how is not practical? i daily drive mine and i track it..patience is a virtue when slammed no doubt.
Year One honeycombs IIRC

 

Its ground control weight jacks bottomed out. The fronts are sitting on my strut mounted bump stops and the rears are sitting on the factory rear bump stops. Totally undriveable at this height. I only did this because I was curious to see how low it would go. The factory air dam is about 1" off the ground.

Front:


Rear:

 

^ that's about how low may car is, air dam 1" off the ground. It scrapes on roads that have too much crown in them LOL. I love it, but it is a weekend driver ONLY, no way to DD at my height

 

Heres my 84 in white

 

I see wheel gap. gtfo. lol jk man, nice car!

 

mine too..my air dam is probably a little less than an inch though..mine is DD





nice car indeed haha

 

Perfect height in my eyes, my fronts in my '85 Z28 are just half an inch higher but my rears at nearly 26". What height are your springs? I was going to looking getting shorter springs. As for "undrivable" some drop spindles, extended ball joints, raised strut mounts, bump steer kit, LCARB's, trimmed bump stops, rolled fenders and some driving lessons can cure that

 

For looks, I wouldn't mind if mine was a bit lower in the front...But if it was any lower, I wouldn't trust driving it around (I actually had it lower, but raised it a little...the beauty of coilovers). The k-member is only a few inches off the ground. The rear can't be lowered anymore and still function (with my wheel and tire combo anyway).

 

I can't say it is SLAMMED,cuz seriously,I drive the car alot in Montreal,and our roads suck,but the Eibachs ride awesome and can avoid damage to front spoiler easily. And hey,gotta represent 3rd gens too,check out Sept 2011 Snap On calendar...first 3rd gen to get in it....our gens rules!!

 

Which eibachs are you running? That's a good stance... pro-kit? Sportlines? Factory stocks/struts?

 

not when you have air ride

 

haha..

would love air ride..pricey though

 

This is as low as I could go with northern ohio roads.

 

on Eibach Ground Controls

 

love your car looks awesome!!

 

A lot of these...okay most of these aren't very 'slammed'. Hell, mine is dropped almost three inches and I wouldn't consider it slammed.

What wheels are those?

Edit; Found your build thread. Forgestar F14

 

Forgestar aka more than I'd ever spend on wheels...mainly because I'll never be able to afford it LOL..

 

Here's mine. Fender height is 25" front and 26" rear. Lowered on Ground Control weight jacks (800/200) and KYB adjustable shocks and struts.







I will be going lower, but I gotta get some more parts first

 

 

thanks man shes come along way since I first got her.

 

 

Acrophobia-A fear of heights!

 

amazing colour ^^ love it! stance is awesome too! what spring setup??

 

Paul I don't remember ever seeing these pics.... awesome!

 

Air ride technologies

DBLTKE your car looks sick man!

 

love the rims Paul.

 

I want to buy this car!!!!!

 

Could you please send me some pics and info on your wheels. For being 18" they look factory, most remakes look like poop, those were done right, where did you get those? Could you do that when you get the time please?
Thanks....
MS

 

more slam..post nooooooowwwwwwww

 

this is the best i have right now. i would really say shes slammed, but lowered, No iso front or back and about a coil and half out back and a coil cut up front. hopefully i leave michigan and ill take another coil out front and back or swap over to coil overs

 

mmm..not slammed dude :P but nice car nonetheless

 

RamAir21:
