Taz_Rx Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 4-5" is just stupidly low. Any form of "suspension" travel would be in YOUR SPINE as you'll be sitting hard on the bump stops. 2"s in the rear is more than enough. Anything more is only "poser low", illegal and dangerous!!!

Taz_Rx Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) We're not ganging up on you mate! :locked: We're trying to help you make an informed decision that will give you a nice look.......as well as a nice ride. dfunkt's italics comment problem wasn't the best way of conveying his message but the point is still there. He's basically just trying to say that looks aren't everything about a car. It also needs to comfortable, practical and legal!!!! The bit of his last post that I agree 100% with is the fact you should discuss this with a suspension shop like pedders etc. You'll find they will tell you that 4-5"s is also far too low and they'll make suggestions for a compromise between a ride heigh both yourself and local poo poo are happy with, as well as a safe and confortable ride. Yes its your car and you can do what you want with it, knock yourself out. But you did ask the RC.com community for opinions on this, which you were given.... weather you like them or not.

fusion Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Your saying you want to drop it 4" low so you can get rid of body roll . . . Can I ask what else you have done to try and minimize body roll up to now? Surely you wouldn't be looking at lowering your Corolla 4"'s as your first option? :locked: Maybe try upgrading the swaybars first like you suggested you would, or even a front strut brace.

RedKE30 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) I sense we're gonna see another thread about someone wrapping their car around a power pole in the near future. Edited December 17, 2009 by RedKE30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ok thats better :locked: RA40 brake upgrade works well in KE30's. Done it myself personally. Front king springs will drop it around 2" I am guessing? Or would you be cutting the springs to match the rear? Are you also changing over to a decent front shock absorber to match your new height?
