Yeah, there is literally no way it has a little more than 3/8" of travel before bottoming out. Hell, the stock suspension probably drops near that much when someone sits in the car.
OP, I didn't want to read all the pages, but why not run a HAS (height adjustable spring) kit? You can keep the stock dampers, and adjust height, while not being nearly as expensive as coilovers. You obviously aren't able to adjust rebound or compression as you would on coilovers, but that's why you pay less than 1/2 the price. You simply set it to what you want and forget it.
As for tire wear on your old cars, if you had camber wear from running springs, something definitely wasn't done correctly. In my stancy pants days running almost double digit camber, I could have tires last 10,000 miles easy. Either you didn't get an alignment after installing the springs, the person who did the alignment didn't know what they were doing, or the machine wasn't calibrated properly. |
I thought people where saying the HAS kits also are not good for stock dampers.
