berk exhaust and lowering your z?!

jamesj1996

ok guys so i really didn't know what category to put this in...exhaust or suspension so im gonna put it in both. (sorry for the confusion) but i have berk exhaust and wanna lower my car soon. im gonna lower to the point where theres no wheel gap and i cant see any tread so slammed pretty much. or really low as i some would say. my question now is berk hangs very low..it hangs like 3 inches from the ground stock ride height...has anybody lowered their z with berk exhaust? i might as well get ark if its gonna be that low lol. but anyways i feel like i would be scraping over the smallest of bumps with berk if i lower it to my liking. anyone have experience with this? i would hate to have to buy a new exhaust jus to lower my car...though i rlly want motordyne its 1800...i aint rich lol . thanks in advance guys

Berks don't hang low at all, compared to exhausts like FI. In fact, I believe it's one of the higher-sitting exhausts.

Slamming the car sounds fun at first, until you start going over lots of speedbumps, bumpy roads, or deep potholes :-/. I'd recommend the Whiteline springs - lots of people happy with those.

James.. no better person to answer your question other than Bobo. . After all it was his car and his set up. But I agree lowering looks great until you do have to worry about bumps and what not. Keep that Berk. It's awesome.

Slammed is sugh a hot look but gets expensive and annoying when you scrape like every freakin thing! Even dead squirrels!

A dead squirrel, or something like that, tore the wiring out of one of my rear o2 sensors... Gotta learn to avoid pretty much anything that sticks up in the road. The other day, after getting gas, I made the mistake of running over the station's gas tank covers. It was such a horrible sound! My poor crossmembers.

I removed the little mud flap things.
