How low is 3" drop on a 5th Gen
dang no offense or anything, and definately not to flame, ...but u should take some new pics of ur car. i'm almost positive ur car will look 1234324x better if you take some better pics. washin the car would help too...hehe..j/p:thumbup:
nah those pics are fine besides those pics were taken when it was taken out the shot after having the front end cut off and replaced days b4. there are more pics of the car washed and what not but they dont show the drop where as these do. regardless i dont want to take some new joints until my ride is back on the road with some new parts added or until i get a new ride all together
Thanks guys. Especially Decibel_dj. That really help me to see how low my ride would be. And that's 3" drop right?
Also my thanks to Blackmagic, I'll be waiting for your pic
aux - thanks for the suggestion, I had GC Coil and Tokico Illuminas Shocks on 6 mo. ago, 1.5" drop and it's doesn't look that good though. I've recently reset my suspension and about to drop lower. But i'm worrying about camber kit. Many people told me to use the washer method on the rear. But don't know where to put the new long bolts and washers on.

i have to agree if you have a body kit and your going to lower it 3" then that sh!at is going to get scraped wherever you go. I have mine at 2.25 and I hate scraping on speed bumps or steep drive ways. its low enough so I can just barely put 1 finger in the wheel well. I'm running 205/40/17's. if you get aftermarket struts that are height adjustable you can get to where you might get to where you want to be at, near 3"

thanks, I already had a W-Type Kit on my ride for like a a yr and half. The guy who did my custom Piping did a perfect job, He welded the 2.5" pipe and dremel bent it right where the stock pipe was, so it didn't hang lower, also, the welded a hook on to my Muffler, making it hooked on to where my stock Muffler was hanging from, so it's basically STock fit
.
I'll try to ask him to help me weld a steel pate under the bay. but how large should it be? I"m trying to magine that it'll be hard to change oils and inspect the car whenever it's on the lift. if 2.5 is That low, I'll probably lower it somewhere 2" and 2.25"

i forget the size of my plate but it doesnt cover the whole area besides i have small cut outs here and there where its needed. mine is welded and bolted so some parts i can loosen and remove. my exhaust piping was redone after my car was lowered so it was very hard to rerun the piping in the way i first had it so mine is lower around the control arms and what not
i had a full BW kit when my springs were shorter and drop wasnt so big. then i swapped out the sides for WW ones and cut the rear differently. then i redid a lexus lip and had it fitted to my ride by then i had the drop u see now. even the factory lip on the car is almost touching the ground now. with 18's on my car its better and off the ground. with 16's they are tucked under the fender wells and really touching the floor
