Topline lowering kit
 
Has anyone installed a Topline lowering kit on their ride? I am looking at their MAXX strut combo and hoping for some feedback on it. Thanks, V3

I have a calvacade of TopLine stuff on my 1971 Super including the MaXX struts and I love it all.

Just today I was returning from swimming and made a quasi-spirited right-hand turn at an intersection. There was an oncoming SUV on the road I was entering. The guy driving saw me and I could see him mouth a big Whoa! to his passenger. At that instant, I gave my car an extra turn with one hand to cut the turn more sharply and stifled a fake yawn with my other hand as we stared at each other on the flyby.

There was no body roll, no tire chirping, nothing. In fact, I was concentrating on my downshift because I was trying to imagine if I would like a tee-handled shifter or not ... so I wasn't really even challenging what the car could do. It might not have been the turn I will teach my daughter, but I was nowhere near my limit or the car's limits.

Here are some pics. My car is only lowered to the first notch. The first two picks are from when they were first installed. The last three are from a show in Tampa this past November. None accentuates its stance but should still give you a passive idea.

Thanks for the review, Oasis. I just ordered their front disc set-up till I can afford to switch to a Porsche derived set. I noticed that they seem to have a great quality for the money.
