khurlburt Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I was patiently waiting for my Progress springs to be put on, when the mechanic came out and said that they made the car too low to get off the lift. What springs will clear pretty much any lift? desperatly want to lower my leggy.. she looks like a monster truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiot4hire Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Tell your concrete thinking mechanic to get 4 pieces of 2x4 wood like every mechanic in the world has and put them under the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khurlburt Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 kinda what i was thinking.. because my step dads 3 series bmw goes in for work there all the time and that sits lower than the springs will make my car sit. He also said that they wouldn't be able to align the car properly since it would be so low. It's only 1.3 in the front and 1.0 inches of drop in the back.. i just think the guy didn't want to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You'll gain several degrees of negative camber with the drop, and, unless you have camber arms at the rear, you'll be running a lot of negative camber there. You can regain some at the front with the camber bolts. Toe is also affected, so I can imagine his frustration at getting the alignment set. And yes, just get some boards and put under the tires when you're going off and on the lift. Couldn't be more simple. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
