Dropped and tinted - Focaljet

**SVTgirliegirl** · 08-03-2008, 10:48 PM

Got a few pics of the car. I dropped it about a month ago on Suspension Techniques struts and springs. Ride is really stiff but good. Windows just got tinted yesterday, 20%. One of the pics is from a week ago when it was not tinted.

If you "dropped" on an ST suspension, isn't that really not a drop, since the spring height is the same on the ST and SVT?

And the car is looking amazingly great, Jaymee!

One would think, because initial press reports in early '04 about the '05 ST stated erroneously that the ST would share brakes, dampers and springs from the SVT. Well, we know the brakes on the ST, though all-wheel-discs, share the fronts with all other '05 + with 280 mm rotors. (SVT's fronts are 300 mm). Dampers, yes. Springs, no. A stock ZX4 ST sits as high as the first batch of 2.3 Duratec PZEV ZX3s... so the SVT springs are indeed lower as they advertise: .5 inch lower than stock ZX3s, ZX4s and ZX5s.

Finally!

Car looks good, Jaymee!

A stock ST sits a bit lower than stock ZX4. To wit: On the left is a spring out of my wifes 04 2.3 PZEV ZTS. The spring on the right is out of my 05 ST.

Lookin Good Jaymee! I cant wait to see it in person! What was the drop with those springs?

-Ashley

**SVTgirliegirl** · 08-05-2008, 02:50 PM

Maybe an inch and a half. I am not really sure. I did not want to go to low because of the road that I live on.

**1badassfoci** · 08-05-2008, 02:55 PM

Ya thats understandable! Me personally the lower the better! LOL!

**SVTgirliegirl** · 08-11-2008, 05:29 PM
