MX-3 Lowering Springs or Coilovers

[Whisper]

Word, that looks fugly. From what I've seen a 1.5" drop looks the best.

Huh? No, it looks fine. It's just that a drop like that puts more stress on suspension, and the whole car in general.

Yea very true.

I thought I was the only one who has wierd acceleration shakes (in 2nd gear) when I am WOT.. Both my mx3's had it/have it.. thought it was a bad cv axle haha, I think its just the angle is messing it up

[Whisper]

Yeah, my car used to vibrate and shake under acceleration when I was dropped low. Axles would bind. Sway bars would hit against the body and suspension components. Then I raised it some and all these problems went away. I don't think the suspension on these cars is meant to handle massive drops.

ya, so im probably going to drop it 1-1.25"
that should workout fine

Sort of similar.... I raised my car ~1". (ZX2 struts AND springs) and it shakes at WOT in 2nd..... It kinda freaks me out, so I don't go WOT too much

Huh. I have H&Rs, and I love them. They are very comfortable, and solid. No shakes at all, and I did 14.7 @ 92.99 mph.
