Hey their lowpt,
Yeah they are pretty close to maxed. I wound up trimming the back bump stops in half to get a little more bounce out of it rather than have it sit ultra tight, which worked pretty alright. Surprisingly the back still has a little travel (not much) but a little.
The front is a little different story as it pretty much sits pretty tight even on 3/4 cut bump stops which makes for a kinda bumpy ride, but that is pretty much to be expected when you drop your PT that far without going to air ride.
The tires in back still have a lot of clearance and can actually still accommodate 20" wheels even with that much drop. I didn't think so, but the tire shop test fitted them for fun to see if I could pull them off, and sure enough.
The front tires again are a bit different as they are only approximately a good 1/2" off the wheel wells, but its set up so it wont go any lower so their is no chance of rubbing. Since you can go up to 19" wheels without changing the overall stock wheel dimensions, you can actually do a 19" / 20" wheel combo with no problems and still sit at the same height without any modifications which in theory should look pretty sweet! I was going for that look, but just never got that far. They do sit really close to where the air ride sits though. Here is a pic for ya showing the difference on my baby showing the difference in ride height between my springs and air ride.
On the up side, I loved the Springs as the cost was way cheeper than air ride, and their is less moving parts, and thus less that could go wrong if something ever were to happen.
On the downside, it sits low enough that you really have to pay attention to walking it really easy into driveways, and try to avoid speed bumps whenever possible as with anything riding that low, you have a high risk of scraping even if you take it at an extreme angle. You also really have to watch out for curbs and parking lot bump stops as they sit at a height of 4-5" and if your not extremely careful, you could easily find yourself running your front, or back bumper right smack into one which wouldn't be fun.
And the last, and probably biggest catch to these Springs is the cost involved in making them, as unlike big Companies like Eibach, or Goldline, who get good breaks on materials to mass produce their products, we have to pay a higher cost both in labor, and materials. We also use a lighter material than normally used in making drop spring kits which is used to make high end custom off road racing springs and components which also contributes to the higher cost, but gives you a slight weight reduction at the same time. The additional cost of Powder Coating also plays a contributing factor which adds up to a slightly higher priced set of Springs than normal which is why their are not more sets around. Basically to have that extra 2" drop in back, and close that wheel gap up is really nice, but unfortunately comes at a price.
Other than that they are big time fun, and have most definitely got the right look, are truly leveled out, and have that ultra cool perfect stance everyone wants to achieve!
Anyways, that's the low down on my Springs. If any of you guys ever have any more questions, or would like to possibly look into have a kit made or anything, please feel free to drop me a line anytime, and I would be more than happy to see what I could do for you
Go easy, and I'll catch ya later.
