lowering springs with the biggest drop

[Captainmorbid]

Most of those slammed VWs are sporting air bags. So, low for show, inflated for go...

Not my cup o tea, but if a sparking grinding underbelly is what turns your crank, do it. And post pics of your um, more butch Fiesta!

So you purchased the Fiesta to save gas on a 200 mile commute but now you want to drop the Fiesta incredibly low without changing the suspension geometry, this would in turn wear the tires out 10x faster so you will be purchasing a set of tires every 6-8mon. Last I checked tires were $$$$

From one teenager to another:
Don't do something this stupid to a brand new car. If you want something to go drop this low then go get a used Acura Integra or Honda Civic. Lowering for looks may make you cool around your friends, but to everyone else on the road you're just another idiot. I can understand lowering for performance, but for looks? If you want a low looking setup get the eibach and a body kit.

Man I'm sorry if it sounds like people are haten'... hating.... whatever the kids call it. From another young gun here (I'm 22), we just want to give you the fair warning you don't care about. When I was your age I wanted to drop my explorer (yes they do make drop coils for the 02+), which I had gotten from my grandfather. Man that would have been a bad idea. That became by brothers first car and it would have been a bit lame.

You have to prioritize your projects. When you give a list of cars it looks like cashflow isn't a problem. If it is you might have to cut down, take quality over quantity. People just want others not to regret their decisions later on.

That aside on the advise forefront, I think the conclusion for springs is H&R super sports for the lowest drop.

If money is tight how are you paying for insurance for all of these cars?

Also how do you plan to buy new tires every 6-8mon when they wear out from being dropped so low.

I really don't want to know what you mean by a "lesbian" car In any case, try and choose better words next time in describing your car because someone's sexuality really does not have to do with owning a Fiesta.

Others have already put in their comments as to not dropping it that much, and sticking with quality components. Keep in mind too that if you're dropping that much and you do end up damaging other components, you'll be on the hook - especially if you're trying to claim them under warranty.

If you drive 200 miles a day, keep the Fiesta stock and take the mod-money into another one of your toys. I'm not sure if you have ever driven that much, but I've done it for over 10 years. Things will wear out, and any money you shell out now on "look good" mods will just be wasted because now you have to service or replace tires, brakes, and other components a lot more frequently. Plus, you'll go through the warranty a lot sooner, so you'll pay more for repairs.
