Howdy.
I'm thinking about dropping my Sport GT 2/2. Here are my thoughts.
Front: I have factory 20's so I'm thinking about Belltech 2" drop spindles Part #: 2652. I like this idea as it allows for the front factory setup to stay stock. Stock factory shock length being key here.
Rear: Maxtrac 2" drop springs 272920-19. I don't want to go past 2" in the rear. This also allows for stock length shocks to work (per Maxtrac notes).
Seems like sometimes these don't drop the full 2" but can be cut. I also have E-Torque. But there seems to not really be a confirmation that this causes additional drop.
So I'm hopeful for the 2". If I don't get 2", I can cut. If I get more, I can add a spacer.
Additional parts to include:
Hellwig or Spohn adjustable trackbar.
Hellwig or Belltech rear swaybar.
Hellwig Adjustable rear swaybar links or maybe shorter core 4x4 links.
The question in my head is. Is it worth swapping out factory oem shocks for Bilstein 4600 stock length all around? Seems like there could be some additional handling improvements from the change.
There are some factory drop kits out there running 4600s. (Toyota Tacoma X Runner as an example)
From all the posted information out there. This should minimize bottoming out and improve some on-road handling characteristics.
Like to hear some thoughts!
