i think he is planning on getting low soon. just to make things clear, what is the definition of "stanced"? similar to flush?

 

[igore.ST]

Mostly dropped and is sitting flush, with correct camber, wheel size and tire size and proper alignments. Takes thought and math to make everything fit, drive and look good.

 

[stealthzx3]

honestly, any camber just looks stupid IMO. then what's poke?

 

[igore.ST]

When your wheel stick out passed the fender/quarter panel. BTW the focus comes stock with negative 1 degree camber IIRC. Also camber comes with the drop, You will get natural camber. My car has natural camber from dropping over 5 inches.

 

[stealthzx3]

what will i get with a 2"f 2.2"r drop? no way i would intentionally add more camber.

Wheels and tires were a hefty penny of $1306.68. Mounted balanced and shipped from tire rack to my house. Tires are BFG g-Force KDW 2's and the wheels are Ford Racing Focus rally rims.

68 Shelby.. Mmm how was the grizzly sound?

i'd say lower it. but not insanely. a 2- 2.5 inch drop is a good start. make it sortaflush and get all old school on people like i did.

 

[stealthzx3]

you saying cut the springs? i don't know any aftermarkets that drop 2.5".

 

[BWM2006ZX3]

Me, ranger_mclaren, & SvviftSVT has them. I am sure that other members on here have them too. I would recommend them, they ride very nice, especially if you pair them up with some KYB's

On the 00 - 05 it gives a 2" drop, suspension changed in 06 so now for yours they would give you a 1.5" drop

 

[BWM2006ZX3]

what kyb's would you recommend? The Gas-A-Just or the GR-2/Excel-G's?

 

[stealthzx3]

yeah, they are an approximate 2" drop. so are sportlines. but if were talking 2.5"...
in reality, a 2" drop is the best drop for our cars. performance wise. anything lower is only for looks.

 

[katiekay]

what kyb's would you recommend? The Gas-A-Just or the GR-2/Excel-G's?

I got the KYB-AGX adjustable gas shocks/struts. You get 4 levels of ride quality(from soft to firm) on the struts and 8 levels on the shocks. It's a nice feature if you Auto-X. I like it cause I have my DD setting and I got a setting for Blazin the Twisties. Even on the softest setting, it is still quite a bit firmer than stock.

I have no knowledge of suspension, I just got what was recommended to me by several other members, all I know is you can do better or worse depending on how much $$ you want to spend.
