Lowered AWD Failures

[Ron380]

BCR Coilovers, bump-steer kit, front shock-tower brace and maybe upgraded sway bars.

If that doesn't quite do it, you can get whatever bushings are available, but there aren't any upgraded bushings for the front of an AWD car, either.

I was about to ask that :D

I was not aware of a right and left driveshaft

All you have to do is take a hacksaw and....

I'm running the BCR's, and am at 28.5" all around (measuring from the ground to the top-center of the wheel well). I've 255/55/18's that're tucked underneath it, and have done a full rebuild of my front suspension since doing so (probably half of that was wear and tear, I AM at 151,000), and need a new front-left CV Joint (the one currently in place was installed around a year and a half ago).

I drive around 2500 miles per month, and am currently trying to do much, much less.

I (and by "I", I mean my wife...lol) have been running RWD front springs for a couple thousand miles. I changed the driver-side inner boot maybe 300 miles before the springs went in, so I'm gonna really check it out on the next oil change. I have noticed the car doesn't seem quite as boat-like on takeoff, and I feel way less body roll with just the front lowered. The only downside is adjusting to feeling every single wrinkle in the road. I'm hoping new struts will help alleviate some of that.

On another note, a donated K&N intake went in today, and she sounds delicious combined with the Flowmasters.

I was the very first person to have BCR Coilovers in my AWD because my car was the test vehicle. I don't drive a whole lot, but it's been a few years now and my suspension is still going strong and is the best aftermarket suspension I've ever had. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great set up for a great price. Hit up Circuit Motorsports.

How much of a drop can you achieve wirh bc coilovers?

that 255 runs okay on the stock 18 7.5 rim? I was thinking about going with the same size. I also want to drop it, rather than get 20's to fill out the wheel gap.

Less weight and all..

Mine's been lowered with KW coilovers for over five years with no problems.

[COLORADOMAGNUM]

BTW - I'm about an inch lower than a stock RT.

[Gardei]

Where i can get bump-steer kit for my awd? Im lowered with BC coilovers.Very bad driveable on bad road in Ukraine

[1FASTSOFA]

So a 2 inch drop is right about the safe height drop for the AWD cars without breaking anything??

my wheel gap with the 235-50's is simply horrendous!

[blacknight]

Well, I havea set of Tein springs on order. should be here in a day or so.
They will drop my AWD C 1.8 around.
On such a minimal drop, should I worry?
I absolutely love my car, but dam...it's all over the place with the stock suspension.
