Re: How Much Drop?

My first gen has 2 inch spindles and 2 inch drop springs with 235-60-15's on the front. And personally after driving it 130k miles I would have went with 1 inch drop springs or cut one coil off the factory ones. With the 2 inch drop springs I've worn out 2 sets of factory bump stops. Here in PDX the city hasn't found a street that didn’t need a speed bump or ten.

On thing to consider is that I believe the ZQ8 come with fender flares that lower the upper part of the wheel well to give it a lower look than the regular S10's. I know that they did that with the Typhoon and Syclone packages.
