I know a guy that works for BBS in Florida that has just came out with a lowering kit. I have posted a pic of their truck in my photos. I will get his info tomorrow and pass it on. They have also developed a brake kit for the rear.

I have posted the pics of the front lowering kit in my photos. It uses your existing shock and springs. You knock off the existing spring mount on your shock and slide this over. They say you can get up to 2" drop. The kit will be available in a couple of weeks. They also have a drop kit for the back and a rear disc brake conversion kit. I think the front kit sells for less then $300 and the back drop was $79. I need to talk to him first to find out what contact info he wants me to give out before I pass it on.

What do you guys think??? Has anybody seen anything similar??

It's a coil-over system like the Fabtech, but this one lowers it instead of raising the suspension. The price sounds reasonable to me. What does the rear kit consist of?

samsneeze · #27 (**permalink**) 03-21-2004, 01:36 PM

where can we purchase he lowering kit at?

jaimr · #28 (**permalink**) 03-22-2004, 09:02 PM

Found out the website, www.speedofsoundperformance.com. Ask for Tom and tell him Jamie said to call. He has the lowering kit for the front and rear. He also is the one on ebay selling the Enkei 20's and BBS 18's.

Let me know if anybody gets one of the lowering kits for the front and how it works out.

I'll buy this kit as soon as I buy my 18''s

Anyone know if their rear brake kit works with ABS?
