So how much drop?

[Island530i]

I was checking into the Vogtlands, however thay can't seem to tell me how much of a drop I'll most likely have with the 8 cyl instead of a 6. Does anyone have any idea what the total drop would be front and rear?

We'll the H&Rs and Eibachs drop it 1.3" Front & 1.0" Rear, so I'd assume its similar.

We had this discussion a while back. I seem to remember that you'll get another 0.5-0.75" drop with a V8.

Jeff's car (above) is certainly lower than mine in the front (by about 0.75"), although I'm using the Sachs kit, so direct comparisons aren't appropriate. His rear ride height seems about the same as mine.

Jeff, any rub on that ride height?... also, which spacers are you running? 3mm or 9mm?

[632 Regal]

9mm spacers, wish you could get them in 20mm...lol

nope, no rubbing ever.

nope, no rubbing ever.

Are there any long term effects on the car after you lower it?

[Island530i]

Jeff, that looks really low. What springs do you have?

Thanks for your help again.

I used the vogtlands and 3mm pads on my 525 and it went down 2.5" in the front. I'm planning on using the vogtlands on the 540 but will go with the 9mm pads.
