Need info from the effects of drops the A/C, +/-

[Goon]

After looking at some beautiful pictures of people's coupes on forums having drops, I really am considering to have mine done in the future.

I'm worried how it would handle though.

Will the driving be different?

Will passengers have an affect, (but I can't really fit tall people back there) :p

Does it affect the mpg? ( I guess it shouldn't be noticeably different.)

And of course, if I plan on getting an exhaust, like the Greddy, which the drop should definitely affect. I'm not thinking about going with something that large hanging down there from the profile.

Thanks!

Do eettt!!! You wont regeret it. It handles so much better than stock but yet the car is not slammed. I've had my car loaded with passengers and still rides good. Lowering your car does not effect your mpg in a bad way or anything.

Will the driving be different? - Cornering is tighter/better, the ride is stiffer, the car in general tracks tighter. All good things IMHO.

Will passengers have an affect, (but I can't really fit tall people back there) :p - Other than the ride, which would seem logical as the suspension will be a bit stiffer. There isn't any impact on the back seat riders. But as a lowered car, you need to be aware that road bumps could be an issue so be careful, especially with a full load.

Does it affect the mpg? - For me this is a big nope other than the fact that I stomp on it most of the time anyway.

Exhaust - I've got the Stillen Exhause, I have no problem with mine, but it's close.

Hope this helps,-- Wind

I've had three big guys including myself in my car and have had no issues whatsoever. It drives like a champ during highway speeds but it can be stiff during normal cruising. (you feel every bump)

Handling is GREATLY improved. And no problems with passengers riding in back. I don't see it affecting exhausts... but I'm still running stock.

Yes i have driven this thing in every way imagineable. Through canyon races, drag races, street races, 5 people in the car, etc... They are champs!

I would do the Eibach Drop 100%. I was hesitant at first like you but man, am I happy I did it! Not only does it feel good around the corner it feels safer too. Passenger wise- who cares! It's your car and the bumpiness of the road isn't going to change either way so do it! Also, Eibachs make you a more conscious driver and ultimately lets you take better care of your car. I avoid every pothole and go very slow on speed bumps - win win situation for car and driver IMHO. Did I mention it also looks hot?

1. Looks better... as in this is how it should have come from the factory2. Driving is safer... handles corners better3. Ride (siffness) is not noticeably different in the Coupe (more so in the Sedan).. hell, the ride is the coupe is already pretty stiff!Looks better.. wait did I say that already
