unless somene beat me to it. here they are. you have to remove ".orig.jpg" at the end of the link



If you want to go lower. I would suggest investing into some ground controll coilovers and selling your springs to someone on here or ebay.

What are fender caps? That car is low enough.

I think that's one of those left hand drive CTR's.

To solve the fender cap problem, you need to use a c-clamp to push the piston in. Then the caps just slide right out. Don't forget to open the muffler bearing reservoir first, or else the pressure will cause the fluid to shoot right out and you'll need to go to the dealership to replace a $100+ muffler bearing.

dont listen to this moron. hes trying to be cool but is jjust actin NOOB.


i like my car dropped low enough that it tucks the tire under the fenders. your springs should settle about another 1/4-1/2" depending.

the only way you can make it lower is to get smaller springs or coilovers.

If you go any lower than that you are going to end up blowing out your KYB's. If you aren't satisfied with the drop try some coilovers but beware you don't end up riding on bump stops all the time
