    I am getting lowered king springs for my 8-6 and just wanted to know how low it will actually be, the guy i'm buying from said 25-30mm which is f**k all really. Basically it will look like the pic, this guys just happens to have run the same suspension as i will be putting in ie Koni shocks, King springs. But when i looked at another thread here a guy showed step by step of installinig new ajps suspension he said it was only lowered by an inch (roughly 30mm).

    My point is that i got to thinking that maybe i should go more expensive stuff on the front to lower it more but then the guy paid like $800 for the ajps stuff had the same lowering as i would have with the Kings. so yeah just wondering how you guys lower you cars more then 30mm, cause the pic below pisses me of , i want to go lower, especially if i'm paying decent monies for my setup.

    ajps still has the responsibility to make the car safe even with lower springs. thats why they are lower but not super low, because the springs wouldnt be captive and dave cant sell an illegal product.

    if you got springs and then cut them, well thats upto you
