help get my cabby lower

[allklrnoflr]

hey cabby owners,
i have a 86 cabby, that i would like to get lower. no coilovers, no air bags, it has 15x8 195/50/15, and a small duckbill. looking for some advice on a cup kit, springs shocks that type of low? it is a d.d. so i need som function. thanks

Coilovers, seriously. They are adjustable and they ride pretty smooth, at least my JOM's did on both of my cabbys.

Vogtland cup kit if you dont wanna go that route.

yes agreed, i have coilovers on my mk2 and i like the ride ect, but this is for my g.f. and she is 5ft with some 34dd and they bounce alot, and she hates my car becuse of the ride. so was thinking that the cabby would be heavier and might ride better, but she is against coilovers so looking for a little bit low with good ride handeling. looking at some h&r springs with bilstine shocks?
thanks for your advice.

No offense intended, but: If this is a car your girlfriend is daily driving, then what does she want? If she doesn't care about ride height, leave it alone. If she wants it lowered a bit without sacrificing much of the ride quality, then the H&R/Bilstein Sport combo is a good one (my '86 has it); just be sure to inform her that she can longer go screaming through dips and over bumps or you, kind boyfriend, will be replacing an oil pan.

thanks for the advice, looks like h&r with bilstein is the way to go have had two people say how great they are, thanks for the input,

Let me add that in my experience, "extremely low" and "daily driver" usually don't go well together. Be sure to check out the roads the car will travel on a daily basis to make sure you're not creating a bigger problem.
