Lowering my car
I was just wondering what you guys have on your lowered cars and how you like it, i have a 90 da, i want to go with coil-overs just so i have the freedom to put the ride height where i want it. Thanks for any help.

Re: Lowering my car (hangac1093)
i would assume at least 75% of cars on here are lowered. something to consider when deciding "how low" to go : quality of roads you are driving on. search and you will find pleanty of stuff/info/pics of da's lowered on just about anything
edit : when searching, try looking for "suspension" "coilovers" "springs" etc etc and dont forget to search archived, as well

I got springs on my DA, dropped 2" in the back and 2 1/4" in the front, it rides pretty nice.
But yeah, how low you go i think, and its not a bad idea to consider, what the roads in your area are like.

not only will you need to watch what you drive over to avoid internally bottoming out the struts and blowing them, but lowering your car will eventually tear your CV axle boots, which will then eventually wear out. it's the long-term implications on things when you go so low (2"+) that get you. unless you live on roads like billiard tables, in which case just worry about those axles.

Very true. You just need to be aware and pay more attention to your suspension after you drop it.

ain't that the truth. go ahead, laugh all you want, but with my ITR springs (almost stock height) i can hit any bump i want and take it like a champ, so HAHA right back to ya. i live where the roads REALLY suck. it's almost like rallying on some of the worse backroads.
