90KUTTY Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Has anybody ever used a lowering kit? If so what were the results, like how long it lasted and so on. ( . Y . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compufreek Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 I also talked to the guy a flex form. He makes fiber glass add on springs. Well he said business is slow and he was really trying to get a drop spring pu together because he knows the will sell like crazy. Give him a call last time I called it was suppossedly 2 weeks from completion but who knows. They have a web site http://flex-a-form.com/Default.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a web site http://flex-a-form.com/Default.asp the guy at Flex-a-Form (George Smolen) can lick my butt. i was excited for the lowering leaf and e-mailed and e-mailed and even called after the word was out that they were done. then he said the company was moving to a new building and all that and said he'd give me a call back. never happened. tried e-mailing again....nothing. shitty customer service = shitty company. when i get back to the states im getting the FFP rear coilovers. i have faith in them because no one else seemed to have problems with either FFP or TDC (no-longer) coilovers.

Compufreek Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Yeah but in the prix the rear towers aren't supposed to be strong enought to hold the coil overs. i would be careful if you use those, maybe set up some extra support in the towers.

FFP coilovers are better still. joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
