before i go and purchase some springs, was wondering what the legal height is, and also how much most of you lower your gems, i don't want it really low, but not stock height either, just enough to look nice... with a noticeable difference tho...
all answers appreciated...
thanx all,

Matt

depends what size wheels u got etc.
the only way to go is fuckin low as possible without losing your suspension totally.
2-3 inches all round is usually a fair enough drop unless u want that hammered look then drop it right down so it sits just below the bump stops.

dont care how u go
as long as ur FLYIN LoW.

Measure the distance from the centre of the wheel to the guard lip, vertically up this is. This is the standard measure for ride height, as it isn't affected by wheel size or tyre profile.
