Lowering just the front end of E6

[Mark_Burr]

Hi,

A stock E6 looks too jacked up at the front. Can I lower just the front end as the back looks fine, or would this upset the car in terms of geometry/handling etc.

That would be a tuning way of doing it, ie a wrong way.

THe aftermarket lowering springs drop the front more than the back. From memory, I think the Eibachs that Ralliart use drop the front 20mm, then back 10mm.

They drop the front 32 the back 16[img]http://194.93.140.171/graphics/happy1.gif border|EQU| 0 align|EQU| absmiddle ><!--e1-->

Mmm - different springs drop them different heights. I think you are quoting the HKS springs... though the Eibachs were not as low.

I could be completely wrong though [img]http://194.93.140.171/graphics/TooHappy.gif border|EQU| 0 align|EQU| middle >

I've been running the Leda lowering springs for a couple of months now - 40mm front/20mm rear drop. Slight handling improvement and closes up the front wheelarch gap nicely without making the rears disappear into the arches.

Yep, fück lowering springs. The front wheelarch on an Evo 6 looks very big compared to the rear but to alter that difference for aesthetic reasons is not very smart as the car looses its balance.

No it doesnt![img]http://194.93.140.171/graphics/happy1.gif border|EQU| 0 align|EQU| absmiddle ><!--e1-->
