Vert's only please. Please post your pics and describe what you did with specific suspension mods, rims and tires to achieve the look you love.

My '04 is currently bone stock except for cat backs.
For me it is more of a weekend haul-ass cruiser, so I'm more interested in changing the appearance than the performance characteristics. Rides pretty danged good. If I lower it I'll also have subframes welded in to replace the toothpicks currently under it from the factory.

One thing I HAVE noticed, and this is in my own humble opinion, lowering a vert does not always have the same aesthetic effect (to my eyes anyway) as lowering a coupe. Lets see those pics and help me figure out the easiest and best looking way to skin this cat. Maybe it's just 18" rims. Y'all school me.

Mines first, coupe springs, uncut. Only upper isos in rear. Stock wheels in front, 10.5's in rear.
A friend of mine, Eibachs and 18" wheels. Don't know about isos on his.

Outstanding! Question for you. Does your set-up impact ride quality? I had a '92 vert lowered about 1.5" and it rode like a brick.


Nope! Car ride smooth. However, That most likely is due to my FTBR kit and new front end bushings.

Car was set up by PO. Based on what I have seen it looks like it has H&R springs. ISO's are still in place. Have not paid attention to tire sizes as I went back to factory settings on wheels and tires. Wheels on this set up were 18's x 10 out back and x 9 up front.

I actually RAISED my Vert when I got it. It was too low for me (as well as some of the bumps in my neighborhood). I would scrape occasionally and it wasn't really that fun to drive because I was constantly worried about hitting something. It had Eibach's (Pro Kit, I think) on it and I swapped them out for Steeda Sport springs with stock ISOs. Much happier now.

I like it. I have bottomed out even with my bone stock set up.

H&R race, stock iso’s, and 18” Rovos Durban’s. Never bottom or scrape anywhere. I would like it lower for looks but probably not going to mess with it.
