front end

Quick question, how did you get the front sitting so low. I know you have lorinser springs but did you cut the springs? What pads did you use? #1 pads...Btw, your car looks awesome

Yeah, Lorinser front springs, 1.5 hoops cut off. #1 pads.

Although if I'm honest as much as I like the look of it that low, it's destroyed the handling as the damper bottoms out when going hard into an uneven corner. I'm going to put #2 pads in next weekend to see what difference it makes...

Thanks for the reply as I had #1 pads for the fronts with H&R. Unless I cut the springs, I'm not getting that slam look. But since you mention the handling is sacrifice, I'll stick to what I have.
