Suspension gen V GT Liberty

Postby Tug » Wed Jun 19, 2013 6:56 am

Hey guys I'm new to this site and just wondering what springs to get to achieve the same height as in this photo ? And how much would it effect the ride.

to get the ride that low and to be comfortable your best to go with coilover IMO. BC BR Coilovers are about $1200, you could install them yourself or pay someone to install them.

Maybe talk to Garage88 and ask if they know of any springs that might work

My coilovers will arrive next week; I'll take some before and after pics for you Tug, to see if this is the route you want to take.

BTW, they were $1200 to my door.
