    You might consider something like air cups and/or bags over your existing coils. You might be able to come in considerably less than you think for an air setup, especially if you go for a more simple management system.

    In either case, I'll be watching to see where this goes. These cars have super cool lines and I'm pleased as can be to see one of these getting some love.

      I will replace the current suspension because it has been in dire need of replacement. Fortunately I don't put many miles on the car annually. But having a air cups on coilovers would give me the necessary adjustment to clear parking lots and driveways and preserve the lips being so rare.

        I know people do bag over coils with BCs and use UAS universal bags. Which is much better than a Ksport kit or trying to find another full kit

          He is really dropped 3" ramong24 mind you he is a V6, going lower is not "difficult" meaning it cant go any lower but more so what happens to the driveline once going past that 3" mark. I have 2 of these things. My blue car is a 4banger that sits on Tein SS-P's and my daily sits on ISC coilovers with two collars removed up front. The the silver car (V6) vibrates like a sumbitch around 30-50 mph because of how extreme the axle angles are. I had my blue car as low as the Tein SS-P would go which is only about .25" higher than what the silver car sits on now and NEVER had any vibrations. These cars can be easy to slam and they can be hard to slam depending on which model or trim you get. The V6 are 10x more difficult than the 4 banger.

          BTW FYI, D2 coilovers has the lowest setting for ride height, but the design lets the coilover threads go past the knuckle mount and end up rubbing on the CV axle boots. Not sure if the BC does this or not.




          Peep the build!

            Bruh. We've had lifted trucks, vintage race cars, rally cars and all sorts of cars with ample ground clearance on here. "Stance" is subjective.
            ex: battle stance




            Car looks damn good, but it's VIP inspired.

            I can't help but to see that positive camber on the front. No bueno man.

            Everyone's already said it needs to be lower, so I'll avoid from badgering you on it. Wheels, lows, and interior pillows never made anything VIP. Not even 20 years ago mane.


            Keep it up I love the galant, if you wanted to go true VIP, you should have gone with an executive sedan like the Diamante though.

              Thanks for the input. The front is negative camber, albeit only about -2* to -2.5* But without additional camber kits, or milling the camber plates of the coilovers that is all I can get from the current setup.

                It must be the angle that the shots were taken at.

                The more I look at your car, the better it looks. Never really paid any attention to how lame the USDM bumpers look to these. My new neighbor drives one of these and when i see it I wish he would do something like you have done to yours.
