My car has street dreams 2" drop spindles, and HMS Koni coil overs on the rear. The wheels are 17x7 ARE pinzetti's with 215/45 tires on the front and 235/45 on the rear.

I bought my own coil-over parts and am going to go with Street Dreams drop spindles, though I'm worried about build quality. I've been warned away from HMS by several members. Street Dreams seems to be the only option left. Anyone know of another source for spindles? This is what my ride looks like now. Hope to get the stance right once and for all!

First I have heard of anyone warning against HMS. I thought they were the cream of the crop in terms of Fiero suspensions. Bad experiences, parts, or something? Please expand.

Hey, I've been looking at your car on Cardomain forever now just admiring it. I love those wheels you've got on it!
Sorry, heh

Hey, are any of you guys that lowered the front over 1.5" hitting the bumpstops all the time, or resting on them? Mine is lowered about 1.5, and the bumpstop is about 1/4" from hitting at rest. I'm sure it hits every time on a bump. I'm raising it back up just a bit so it won't do this.

No - at least not that I can tell. Maybe your springs are too soft. I have the 2" drop spindles from StreetDreams and never bottom out.

I have GroundControl coilovers on the back with 250# springs and this is WAY too soft (the shocks bottom out occasionally).
