It is almost inconveniently low, but I like the way it looks and rides. However, the thumbs up or down judgment is going to have to wait until after Sunday's autocross.<ul><li><a href="http://osmoe.homelinux.com/osmoe/?p=90">a few more</a></li></ul>

Haha, well actually...
 
After installing Piggie DP's and a used APR Stealth, I had an exhaust leak. So I took it into Midas because I was tired of messing with it. They fixed the leak and charged me next to nothing. BUT, they left the bolts on the clamps hanging down 2". I didn't notice it until I took the car to an automated car wash...and got stuck. The bolts got caught in a metal grate sitting on top of the undercarriage washer. I had to jack the car up and rock it back to get it out. Embarrassing...

After that I took it back to Midas to have them cut the bolts down to size. Now, loaded down with people, it only has issues with large speed bumps. Other than that it is ok.

Were teh springs used? Because if not they will settle probaly another 1/2".

mosmoe (OPG) 04-12-2007 09:43 AM

They are used

How much have you seen your Vogtland GTs settle?

Hope your rolling those fenders soon

mosmoe (OPG) 04-12-2007 12:26 PM

personal experience?
 
Do you have a similar setup? Did you need to roll your fenders?

Tomasz@Startup 04-12-2007 12:44 PM

1/4" to 1/2" - eyeballing it.

That's pretty low--almost too low. I'm running MTM/Bilstein and just barely clear.....
 
haven't scraped on speed bumps, etc, but rubbed a tire slightly on a dip on the interstate. Other wise, I think mine is plenty low given the relatively low spring rate, which, from what I've read, is lower than H&amp;R.
