Has anybody used the Mid America Motorworks Lowering Kit, if so, any issues/comments?

I dont think its worth the hassle for 3/4 of an inch.How low do you want the car?

TAMMRICH · 02-08-2010

3/4" to 1"

The amount of effort required to do the front sucks. The kit is fairly cheap, but the amount of labor time is pretty high. On the rear you get adjustment, but the front is pretty much one shot.

Yes, the front kit is cheap. And getting 2" longer Grade 8 bolts for the rear is reasonably easy & cheap.
Changing the rear bolts is easy. Doing the front ... I've done one and I won't do another, ever.

The only way I would do another front is if I had it all apart already if I had to do it again I wouldn't bother it is a pain in the a$$ just give up the weekend to do it thats all.

How come you don't want them?

I might be interested. I'm thinking of just lowering my rear some and screw the front although that might look funny.

They are too short.I need to find them.As far as just lowering the rear if you level out the car it would help the look.I might raise mine a touch only because if something is too low it doesnt look right.This car looks lower but all I did was went with a different tire,same size.

Well, I already have the kit, it was $37.95, reading these posts I think I'll have Precision Automotive do it in Hayward, he says its about 3 1/2 hrs for the front. Does it change the ride quality? Thx for the input.
