Please show a stock one too if possible. I dont think most realize how much droop is there stock. Keep up the good work!

Not naming names, but it is a popular brand that people rave about (for some reason, we're not sure why). |

That seems pretty bad. How low is the car when on the ground?

I'm guess they are the ones that have 2 of the first 2 letters of the alphabet in there name.
Do you guys have pictures of your coilovers at full droop? |

We don't have a car here on stock setup, so we put back together a rear corner on mine to give you an idea what it would look like. These are the AST dampers and droop is pretty darn close to stock.
Looking at about 3.5-4" of difference. |

"but they improve the handling so much over stock" if you drive on smooth as glass roads, which we don't have in the states. Guys, post the video in this thread of the suspension travel on Ty's car when he was driving. Those were relatively smooth roads so it will be very easy to see why both bump and droop are needed. |

better tell him his lap times would be better on some more expensive coilovers.
if you look at the lateral link thread (obviously the same car based on the color and tires) the coilover clevis is grey so my guess is megans. Last edited by sigurd; 02-03-2010 at 02:30 PM. |
