Lowered 21+ T1xx: Post Em Up

[DaveLaz]

Thanks, did the front drop spindles hurt the ride any?

That's the thing, in theory, drop spindles "shouldn't" hurt the ride, as the geometry of the strut compression, spring rate etc doesn't change. But I absolutely felt a difference in the ride. That being said it was kind of hard to tell how much of what I was feeling was from the rear, where I had drop struts.

That's what scares me when I talk to all these suspension shops they will say oh it won't hurt the ride or it might barely stifen up the ride but nothing too noticeable. I guess some people are just more sensitive to the ride than others. Did the lowering spindles make it take bumps in the road more harshly?
