New Shocks and Springs 200

A pic of Esther's Turbo with the new Koni Sports and B&G springs. The combination, along with the IPD sways, GT strut braces and new tires, handles like a dream. Next mod will be a lower GT brace as soon as it arrives from OZ.

Very sharp car, Don.

Paint looks great too, is it factory?

New Shocks and Springs 200

It's a repaint from last summer. I stripped it down as much as I could, lights, trim, bumpers, antenna, windshield, lights, etc, and had the body shop do the paint and the small bit of body work needed. I replaced the windshield with a flush late model and mounted a power antenna on the rear fender.

The car looks very nice!

How much did the springs drop the car? Have you run into any clearance issues? Are the springs progressive or otherwise unique, or are they pretty standard lowering springs? Did you order them through FCP Groton?

B&G claim that the springs drop the car 1.6 inches. The old stock springs on this car were sagging quite a lot so this car only dropped about 5/8th of an inch. I haven't had any clearence problems at all. I ordered the shocks and springs from shox.com.
