Q for guys with ST springs and zx2

[babyblueMX3]

Hi guys this is just a quick question..I bought suspension techniques spring and now looking for zx2 struts..I would apreciate if somebody could measure the height between the bottom of the front fender to the ground...i'm just scared I'll get too low with my Pak front end..it's 1.3 (springs) + .5 (struts) drop...I forgot that the strut gave me a .5 more drop..I just don't want to scrape the road with my Pak front end...so i need just a quick measure...
tahnx guys

anyone???

ya dude.. my experience with zx2's is that they dont have much power. i just dont see what the big deal is. the piston goes really low, so they will alow a lower drop like with ST springs, but you'll be riding on springs alone. LOL so make sure u have stiff springs or you'll bottom out 10 times a day like i do. good luck anywayz.. i've heard good stuff bout ST

Ummm i don't know why my post was deleted...but i did respond to this thread with an answer.

It's exactly 5 inches from the bottom of the front fender to the ground.

- I have suspension technique lowering springs paired with ZX2 struts on a 1992 mx-3 GS.

sorry quick sylver..i didn't ask my question correclty..i want the height of the bottom of the front fender to the ground BUT at the front of that fender (the joint of the front bumper and fender)...the thing is i cant measure where you took your mearuement from cuz i have side skirts...thanx man

[quicksliver]

lol im confused...show me a diagram, and circle where you want me to measure for you .

[babyblueMX3]

ok that's not where i wanted you to take it but it's gonna be good for me..take it to the top of the wheel well to the ground..should be around 17-19"..thanx

[quicksliver]

17-19" lmao you're not even close. It's exactly 24" from the top of the wheel well to the ground. That's with 205/55/15 tires on...and the entire wheel well is filled.

p.s. I run 205/35/17 in the summer.

thanx Steve..that helps me a lot now..i apreciate it..

[quicksliver]

Was that sarcastic?

[babyblueMX3]

lol no i meant what i said...sorry if it confused you...i know that my pak front end will 3-1/2" from the ground..do you guys think that's too low? I don't think it should cause a problem.. i will have to be more carefull

[stang67fb]

no way...the lower the better it will look, the only thing to consider is if you will ever have to go over speed bumps or have ****ty roads to drive on all the time. other than that keep it as low as possible so it looks sick!!
