GSF Suspension

[speedfreek]

Evening all,

So who has lowered their GSF?  For those that did, did you just get some springs or full coilovers?

I'm not looking to slam, just drop it a touch and space the wheels so the stance is just right - but curious to hear people's opinions.

Got to admit I wouldn't want to coil over a GSF. Bumps are gonna feel firmer than walking on Lego.  

 

Personally if I was going to lower it I would bag it.

Except they already have coilovers, difference is aftermarket ones are adjustable. 

I don't think it would make it any more firm than stock depending on what spring rates / damping settings - unless you want it to.

The problem is that almost all aftermarket suspension items are designed to be harder, even at the softest setting - it is why people are upgrading. Also if you are lowering then you have less suspension travel, so you need to have higher spring rates to avoid bottoming out too often.
