slamming a suzuki

forenzafan70 · 03-01-2008, 11:15 AM

Any advice on the best way to lower my forenza 1.5-2 inches without too many mods--I will be using 17" wheels w/215/40/17. Also, any advice on whether a negative offset wheel (2inch lip) will work on a forenza. I like the "deep dish" look but am afraid that type of offset might not work on a forenza.Thanks

He be better off with coil covers that BMS makes, as it will allow him to slam his car better than with springs.

The Apex lowering springs lower the car all around 1.5-1.6" and the KW coil-overs will lower it up to about 3".

Apex springs are about $250 shipped and the KW v-1s are about $1,400 shipped or you could go with the fully adjustable V-3s but at about $2k shipped.

215/40/17s will fit easy you'll just have to be careful with the offset wheels you go with depending on how low you go. My KW coil-overs were 1.5" from being lowered all the way (about .6" actual vehicle height) with 205/40/17s slightly streched on a 7.5" wide wheel and I couldn't get over all speeds bumps so there's plenty of room to play.

I doubt you'll be able to get deep dish wheels unless you have them stick out allot. You could probably find an 1" lip but I don't expect much better.
