Lowering an ACR. Have ???.

[anton28]

Just picked up a 99 acr. While I'm waiting for it to be shipped I'm purchasing some performance mods before it gets here. My question is about the ACR adjustable coilovers. Can I use them to lower the car? If so by how much?

tes, but you will need to re-set the toe on alighnment after

Here's something else to consider. At least on my car with the car at a stock height, if I loosen the jam nuts to back the spring off, the spring is loose on the shock. That's really not a good thing, and I suppose it can be cured by playing with spring rates and spring length, etc. The stock ACR springs are made by Hyperco.

Nice. How much of a drop can i get out adjusting the suspension?

 

[anton28]

Good point. I'll have to look into this.

The 99 ACR Konis are stiff riding at the factory setting. You can lower the car about one inch but it will ride like a buck board on the street.

How can I get about a 2" drop out of this set? Will changing springs help?

A 2 inch drop will require changing the springs and caps. Give Todd a call at A&C Performance. Todd has done a few Gen-2 ACR drops.

Will do thanks!

Haha if you ever get rid of the stock coilovers let me know. I have been looking for a set for a while to put on my 99 ACR!

On behalf of your car I cringed. 2" drop = significant chance of damage.

Spoke with Todd. Great guy. We spent about an hour on the phone and pretty sure he talked me in to the RSI TT system after I told him a was looking for a Paxton or roe blower LOL. He was very helpful! Thanks for the referral.

I disagree, I spent 5 years with a 2"-2.25" drop on my old gts on 20"HRE's. Only damage i suffered was the front lower bumper. Check out the pick. This thing was dumped!!!
