4 banger spring question
If i kept my 2" lowering springs in the rear, could i throw some 4 banger springs up front and it not look to high in the front? Cause i've heard that the 4 banger springs will make the car lower, but how lower?

RE: 4 banger spring question
that looks about right. Thanks for the pic by the way
But i was also wondering if i could get a spring spacer and make up the difference in the rear if it is a little higher in the front? Most people tell me that it will lower the front about 2". I have lowering springs on the car and i was wanting to keep them in the rear since they're so stiff.
Oh and by the way, can you just remove the rear shocks? Is it possible and just leave them off for good? Call that a newb question, but i was just wondering. Never really gave it much thought till recently.

RE: 4 banger spring question
do not remove your rear shocks. if you have lowering springs that are stiff, taking the shocks off will just make the ride even bouncier. why would you even think about doing something like that?

RE: 4 banger spring question
To tell you the truth i read it on another site about a guy taking his rear shocks off and i was wondering if there was anything to it, guess not. It sounded stupid when i read it, just wondering.
But i think im just going to throw those springs under the front before my buddy gives them to some body else. If it doens't sit right it no prob to just take em back out i guess.
But if anyone does know for sure that the front will equal out to the rear, please help me on this before i rip my front suspension apart this weekend.

RE: 4 banger spring question
well you can see from the picture i posted how low the front end sits, just compare that to the rear of your car. the front of my car sits lower then the rear since i have stock springs in the rear
