basically depending on tires. You can go as low as your fenders allow it. I have my car the lowest i can make it. Any lower and my fenders eat my tires. And if i made it lower I wouldnt be able to correct the camber any further b/c the upper control arm would start hitting the fender. If its to low its hard to drive. I only say this b/c when i hit a bump on the freeway the tire would hit fender and then grab and pull on that side. made steering not very fun.

Yes, slam it to the ground so you can think you're driving a Z06 when ur really driving a civic and you can't even get over speed bumps .

PS: It went w/o saying that you need help.

Oh, you mean there's an actual technique to becoming a ricer?

Oh, that was my bad, I didn't know that. Let me know when ur body kit shatters while trying to get over a speed bump, I want pictures.

EDIT:
PS: There's a suspension forum here for a reason.

Listen to this guy because he doesn't even know what the expletive he is talking about all he knows how to do is be sarcastic *******!

I have Neuspeed race with Koni Yellow. It's lowered the car 2.5" in the front and 2.25" in the rear. The springs are also very stiff! It handle real well too!

ProjektSol:

The true way to slam a car is with koni yellow's and ground controls. You can also get there with most ots coilovers such as ksport/f2/d2/omni etc.

My sol was slammed with function and forms (10k/6k) and rode pretty rough, my new ek hatch is slammed with d2's and it rides a lot better. Could just be the spring rates though.

to tell you the truth why doesnt anyone start a drop thread.
personally ive been scared to drop my hatch for months, because of how low the exhaust hangs on the h22. btw i had a 2" drop on my delsol
