Too low?

Post by Kaidotech »

Wondering what people think of my AE92. I just finished lower it by myself, took almost 5 hours because I installed arm bars and braces as well.

Had a few people tell me it was "too low"

Also can anyone chime in on the quality of KYB AGX adjustable struts + the AE92 ground control four corner adjustable sleeve kit?

You build your own, not anyone else. But that's not low at all, like in my opinion (just my two cents) you have plenty more room to go lower
I like cars, food, and puppies.

I dont know how I would go any lower. The transmission pan is about 2.5" from the ground and I cant put a jack under it anymore.

Still hoping someone can chime in on the GC sleeves before I pull the trigger to order them :)

Take a picture of it from the side without the Super Model camera angle. We'll be able to assess the ride height better.

that doesnt look too low to me. looking good. as for the coilovers. i owned a second hand set for my corolla, i wasnt impressed. this is not to say i thought they sucked ass either. i think you are getting what you pay for. AGX are AGX after all.

It's been settling. Its actually sitting a little lower then this picture now. Threw on a Mach I lip from a friends car since the front looked goofy.

I'm calling BC racing on my break from work to price just two coilovers.

did you "raise" the trans/driveshaft tunnel up to get that low? or just letting the bumpstop sit on the diff?
