Suggestions with pads to lower my car?

[bish0p]

Right now i'm running on h&r sport springs. I think it's stock pads in the front and 5 in the back. I would like it to be lower and not too raked. I want the back to be level with the front or slightly higher. But i'd rather have it even with the front. What pads should i run to do this? If i run #1 all around would the back be lower than the front? Thanks for any input. and also how much do the pads cost?

oh i forgot to mention i have a pretty big sub box in the back. it lowers it quite a bit.

1 in front and 2 or 3 in the back. I would go with 2 but you know better the weight of your subbox.

just replace the fronts with a #1 pad and you should be fine unless you remove the box sonce in a while... what size wheels do you have...that will also have a factor in the pads you need.

if 18's. the back is a lot higher than the front right now. if i put number 1 and don't change the back it'll make it even worse not better. i was thinking of putting 1's all around because the back looks so high. i have about 2-3 fingers in the back.

I would ask OCKLASSE for advise on this.

I would venture to guess your car has #4 or #5 in the rear as well as the front? In that case, run #1s all around. Maybe buy #2s for the rear because of the sub, but I don't think that would be necessary.

heyyy get it done.

LMK how low you go, im really curious going to do it this summer as well.

well i know it's not going to get that much lower. just a little bit. my car is low because i have h&r sport springs right now. if you're planning to do the pads just to lower your car, i don't think you'll get much of a drop.

I just lowered my car with the h&r cup kit and put 1's in the front and 3's in the back. it is slightly raked but i also have a pretty big custom sub box in the back. it sits PERRRRRFECT now.

ohhh nono i have H&Rs as well. and pre-update bumpers, so I would love to see what it looks like with #1 pads.:p

hey whoever said pads dont make a difference is trippin. If youre talking lowering by 1.3 - 1.7...changing pads can get you another 0.3. Get ones or twos from the dealer. Front and back are different diameter so make sure you get the right ones
