i keep seeing pictures of peoples car/truck/or whatever with the suspension really low. I wanna lower the suspension on my evader st and do some night cruising tonight. plz help!

What exactly are you asking? Do you want to know how to lower your ride height?

[dalejrfan8]

Put softer springs on and move the bottom of the shock out and the top in.

[brickshelf]

you can change your shock mounting positions so the top of the shock is as as far in as possible on the shock tower. and the bottom of the shock is as far out as possible on the arm.

look at your shocks there should be holes at the bottom put them at the fathest hole away(closeest to the tire) most of the time their on road cars make sure you take out preload spacers

yeah ive makde the shocks out as wide as they go for the front and back i just want it to look like when you press down on the chassis. lower to the ground for higher speeds.

[Cotharyus]

You should take out some pre-load spacers, or in some cases, open the shocks up and put travel limiters on the inside to make the shock shaft seem shorter.

[Toyofast]

Cut your springs... or better yet, remove them.

[emaxxrdr88]

Remove them? Yeah ok

[highroller]

Moving the mounting point of shocks only changes the load, cutting or removing springs will hurt the dampening. To adjust ride height correctly without hurting the dampening install 1/4 in spacers in each shock. Take shock apart, remove shaft and piston then slip a piece of tubing or travel limiting spacers onto the shock shaft. Reinstall shaft, add oil, and reinstall on vehicle. You want the outside of suspension point to be parallel or above with the chassis with all equipment installed in a ready to run mode. You may need to buy the next shortest spring or remove and preload spacers.
