    Well kinda do loose travel, cause with drop spindles the top of the tire is closer to the finder well. The travel of the suspension may "allow" for travel of 5" but if there is only 3" from the top of tire to the wheel well then its going to hit.

      sure. tire may rub. bottom out a car with lowering springs and shocks , balljoint among other parts can bend/break. not to mention bumpsteer also should be fixed when using springs

              Ground control coilovers, adjustable control arms up front, lca relocation and adjustable lca's with adjustable panhard in the rear.

                well maybe if he is replacing ball joints all the time, it could he his driving habits lol I had an s-10 on air on all 4 corners, had tubular upper and lower a-arms not a single issue, my envoy lowered stock a-arms not an issue. Coil overs are great, but pricey, air ride is fun.

                All in all, raise or lower a call if you do it property you shouldnt have any issues.

                  Isn't air ride more expensive? And how is taking a corner on bags?

                    actually air ride isnt that expensive specially when you know what you to do. Also air ride is good for drag racing too, cause you can adjust the air pressure to help with hard launches

                      It would be really cool to set up the e30 I just bought with bags. I'll look into it.
