If you drop your ride, you will hate yourself after the first mile, trust me. I dropped my V on the lower bolts at each corner 1" and couldn't wait to get it back where it was intended to be.

Tobi,
Makes for a very hard ride and the front end bounces and won't stop until you slow down. Putting 20's on will also make the ride a little harder, so do one thing at a time.
Put you 20's on and then after a week or two, bring your bolts down 1". First thing you will notice is the car will bottom out up front quite a bit. You can always raise it back up if you only use the lowering bolts on the car. Sorry you can't join the ride to Bowling Green.

you can lower 3/4 to 1" on the stock trim adjustment bolts at the ends of the springs, there's not enough room in the wheel wells (or underneath) for anymore than that IMO. I did not find the change in ride that significant. I did it on my 04 XLR and on my V

thank you for the info:cool

I heard that when you do this you have to do a 4-wheel alignment as it changes the geometry of the suspension.

I also heard, that its difficult to get this 4-wheel alignment done since its now so low to the ground and many alignment machines can't handle a car that low.

Did you get the alignment done? If not, is there any unusual tire wear?

If you did get the alignment done, was there any trouble finding a shop that could do it?

 

[1_XLR]

I drove my 04 lowered for 2 years without an alignment and didn't have any unusual wear. I tried to get my V aligned at the dealer and he bitched that they couldn't get it on the rack. They refered me to a speciality shop nearby that was able to do it with no problem.

Sounds great Tobi,
hope you post some pics soon and as you know where I live I might see your car sometimes in person.
Did you took the old TPM valves of your stock wheels and put it on the new ones?
I just asked because when I put the V wheels on mine (06`s) didn`t matched my car-computer but I bought the right ones and the TPM-system works perfect.

I`m really interrested to see your swarovski-interior.

Much snow overnight, all streets are white, have a nice day.
