BDE Systems lowering kit

[Norwegianmopar]

Anyone got this on their ZR-1? Is it as good as it seems, both bushing kit and also the lowering bit? I see the bolts are longer than in other kits, gives more height adjustments.

Also, how much rear lowering is recommended before one must do the front as well?

There no big trick to lowering. In the back get the longest bolts you can find. The normal lowering kits will only get you about an inch. If that's all you want, great. The front requires no "kit". The wedges they sell a useless. Simply remove the spring, remove the aluminum shims, cut the top rubber spring bushings down to about 1/4 inch above the spring surface and cut the aluminum mounting brackets down by about an inch (to match the height of the spring at the bushing where it mounts). The remaining shims go on the bottom of the brackets, otherwise your bolts will be too long. Then reassemble and get an alignment. If you don't want it quite that low in the front leave some of the aluminum shims in place above the spring. This, btw, is how Haibeck does it. One word of caution. I've seen several cars, my own included, that get "Darty" and experience tramlining when lowered, especially with aftermarket wheels. While I haven't isolated the problem completely I suspect it's "bump steer", the suspension geometry having sufficiently changed at the tie rods to cause wheel angle changes over ruts and bumps in the road. I'm currently looking at special Baer "bump steer tie rod ends" to solve this. I'd be interested to know if others have experienced this problem and how you solved it?

And then be careful of driveways, speed bumps,
and concrete parking stops.

I've always liked the look of a lowered C4.
At standard ride height i have to be careful going over speed bumps, and going over curbs to get in and out of driveways.
Lowered cars, you have to be careful driving over the painted lines on the street.
Maybe if i lived someplace really flat and there were no speed bumps or painted lines on the streets....
