Should I drop my Terminator? Help?

[ProjectVenom]

I have a 2003 Cobra. I just bought a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs. I have been told that I should not drop my Termi well, people don't recommend it. I take my car to the track most of the time.

What am I looking at if I do drop with a set of Adjustable Tokico shocks, C/C plates, bump steer and all that good stuff? Lower ET times? Probability of braking rear end? Help Please!

lowering the car will help reduce wheel hop when you use a nice progressive spring like H&R Race....

I'd recomend you return the Eibach and get the H&R race springs. They are tried and true on this forum..I personally run them and love them.

who ever is telling you not to lower the car, obviously isn't very educated.

All depends on where you drive the car and the clearance issues you may come across. Speed bumps or steep driveways? These cars definitely are too high from the factory and they look great when lowered but you dont want to scrape your exhaust everywhere you go...Pro kit should be a nice drop or you could always cut your stock springs

Thanks. I know there's different H&R springs... what do you recommend? Race springs?

Race sit a little higher then the sports. I have the Race, see sig.

Just lower it!

If you are planning LTs in the future, you may want to think twice before you lower it.

mine is droped with H&R race its a good drop and I have no real issues~ I have to be carful pulling into some places (chin spoiler will scrape) other than that its all good. I just have to pull into places at an angle. My K member brace (verts only) hits usually and since a coupe doesnt have one you should be better off than me.

the H&R are progressive and have a good strong rate so they ride good and handle really good, not sure what the eibachs are but just fyi if you want handling out of it to check. Mine are 720 front/rear

Thanks a lot! Seems like H&R are true to this forum... I already have the Eibachs... but I am taking everyones advice on this... I just need to sell them back and some non-adjustable tokico blue shocks, all new. Any takers?
