HOW LOW CAN YOU GO???

I will be dropping my 00 EM1 on GC Sleeves with illuminas. If I lower it about 2 inches will I need to roll fenders. I have 17"x7" rims

With a 17x7 +40 with 205/40 tire, you may catch a little fender liner on the bigger dips... And with anything less than 2 degrees of negative camber in the rear, the side wall can rub rear fender lip.

Illuminas are good for down to 3" i'm sure. It's a good shock.

Re: (mikeycivic)

with 17's you'll rub lowering it 2 inches, or atleast when you hit the smallest bump, but your car will look sweet! when its that low.
later,

Re: (hall97civic)

with a 2" drop and 17" wheels, be prepared to do the "ricer walk" over speed bumps, train tracks, driveways, etc...

Re: (Nate047)

not a biggy its not a daily driver and I have had low riders before so I know what its all about. Get off the "if you have 17" rims your a ricer" that **** gets old. Wait let me jump on the JDM banwagon and only get 15 inch rims and pay 3x as much money for a smaller JDM rim

Re: (Civic98KH)

"ricer walk"? with 17's and a 2 inch drop he won't be that low. The tires will rub on the fenders but it wont actually be that low. I have 15's and a 3-3.5 inch drop and that **** is low. I drag my mudflaps all the time lmao.

OP: I would say, yes you could do 2 inches without any problems. With 3 inches you wont be able to turn I would say. Only one way to find out

Edit: to awnser the question yes you will have to roll fenders.
