Pics of drops! - Page 8 - SRT Forums

IPP non adjustable coilovers (pics taken before alignment).

They go very low and are a great design..but they ride like SHIT (especially in the rear). These pics are about a 1/2-3/4" lower in the rear than I am running them now. No rubbing at all. Bottom line: Great for the price and designed very well..but the rear stiffness is downright dangerous. I spun my car out on a sharp turn at 50mph because the rear hit a bump and pogo'ed the tires off the ground (and yes they are installed/adjusted correctly..dont let these 'show pics' fool you). I'll be buying a lower spring rate spring for the rear.

Hell ya. ^

That's about a 4 inch drop at leats.

I've wanted IPP's, But the spring rates on them BLOW.....Do They make a softer spring for them now? Or not yet.

Not that I know of. I contacted RAY at revitup to verify i had the right springs. I figured they HAD to be wrong in the rears because they ride so fuggin badly. Nope..he said they are the right ones and questioned my install. LOL I know for a fact they are installed correctly. The springs are compressed less than 1/2" with no load. just a really bad choice in spring rates on the designers part

good to know thanks for your imput (BTW your car is slammed silly)

Anybody riding on these??http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TEIN-...QQcmdZViewItem

i'm petty sure 280/280 spring rates are alot smoother

I will post my progress springs if no one else does, I am getting them either today or tomorrow, and if the snow holds off I will have them installed!!!

Thats what they are supposed to be? I'd have to go verify what ray told me but I thought it was higher than that.

Regardless..take it from the many suckers that are riding on them..they are STIFF!

i'm installing my tien s-tech's on stock struts next week. i know they are rough but has anyone acually BLOWN their struts with these yet??

no_spool · 03-20-2006, 10:03 AM

here is my car on progress springs w/ tsw 18x8s. The ride is ok. Pretty close to stock. It rode better when I was on the stock wheels. O well, the price to look good I guess. I am thinking of selling the 18's. The pics kinda suck but guess what? GET OVER IT

Goldlines, stock struts, rear ES bushings for sway. Bought them used so they are pretty well beaten in. I like it. Left bumpstops stock

Dirty as hell right now due to winter and me just leaving it in the driveway alot.
