I'm looking at some used for my s13 hatch. I did A LOT of searching and I cant find solid info on these. Do these go LOW? Some people are saying they go low and others say not so much. So what is it? Do they go sorta low, pretty low, or super low? I'm looking for something that can lay frame on 17s or can with a few modifications.

They go pretty stinking low. I had about an inch of threads left (no collars removed) and the fender was on top of my 15/60's.

They're quite stiff though. Stiffer feeling than the Megan Tracks that were on my other car.

Shouldn't be hard to find out this kind of info in a search though. I think you're doing it wrong.

I almost tucked the top of my 18" wheels in the rear of my S13 with Super Drifts.

I can go lower.

I've got them on my S14...

I can go another 1.5-2" lower, but this height lets me clear speedbumps etc.

HPballer76 · 01-17-2010, 10:51 AM

im tucking tire in the back of mine and i still have about an inch and a half to go...

Super drifts go plenty low. Not to mention you can always droop the spring/remove collars.

I love super drifts. Best bang for the buck.

Yeah mine go super low to were I have to crush a coke can atleast halfwAy down to fit it under my front bumper and still have about half 1/2 to 3/4 in but the rear on one side just blew so time for a rebuild and they have about 30000 miles on them

I'm tucking rim on my 17's out back (still not all the way lowered), and still have plenty of room to drop my front some more. This is an S14.

***FaLKoN240*** · 01-17-2010, 10:27 PM

Low enough?

om3ga · 01-17-2010, 11:00 PM

This is with the springs just barely snug and the rear sleeves are maxed out. The front can go another inch and a half before needing to preload the spring.

Ha ha. Is CHP just passing by on this one??
