drop spring question

[jdwarner]

this is fore those of you that have dropped your car with springs but left the stock struts swaybars and etc. i was wondering how the ride felt, and if the car felt it was all over the place?also did you have to get an alignment after you put the new springs in?

I had Intrax on an otherwise stock suspension. It rode great. The stock struts were still in good shape, though. I should have gotten an alignment, but I never did. I'd suggest you to definitely get it re-aligned after lowering.

well since you've had your car "lifted", did the springs give it that whole bouncy feeling like that or was it still firm

iv got mine lowered with intrax and left everything else stock. it rides fine bit of a stiff ride but i like it like that actually wish it was a bit stiffer..and i dont bottom out on half the shit i thought i would.

It rode like ass. No shocks, just 4.5 turns of a 3/4 ton mini-coil between the cylinder and the lower mount. Now THAT suspension was all over the place. But, the setup I had was far from optimal. I learned a little bit too late what should go into a well-riding, reliable hydraulic setup. If/when I put a new setup on, I'll be running accumulators. That ought to smooth the ride out considerably with hydraulics.
