I'm having a dilemma, i was wondering if put the dc sports jdm headers and then drop the car on h&r race springs would that be too low, causing me to scrape the headers and denting them please let me know if ne one is running this setup thanks guys.

 

as far as I know the race springs are not that low

 

I heard that the DC Sports headers have shitty clearance anyway. I believe the H&R race springs drop you 2.25in front and 2in rear so it'll be pushing it.

Perhaps someone with the DC header could chime in.

maybe ur thinking SPORTS? race will drop low. with stock shock it will go more low. it will tuck tire .55-series tires

 

i plan on having shocks will the sport drop clear it then

 

i run sports h&r springs with the JDM 4-1 header and i scrape the header some times

heres my ride height on 60 profile snow tires, im about 1/4 - 1/2 lower on azenis

the springs also sagged slightly over the year i had them





sorry pictures are shitty, i took them fast on low quality

 

race/koni, 205/50 kumho mx, you will scrape the **** out of your header. to the guy above who said they aren't low, guess i just proved you wrong

 

i have the dc jdm header, and i'm hammered on omnipowers. i've only scraped once. if you actually pay attention when you are driving, and aren't a total douchebag, then you will be fine.

these are the two main reasons why people with a low car and the jdm dc header have dents.

IF YOU MUST HAVE A LOW CAR, PAY ****** ATTENTION!!!!

That's not _THAT_ bad considering those skirts are atleast 2" thicker than OEM

 

It is going to be really bad. I would highly recommend against it.

On stock height, the dc jdm already hangs low.

 

those skirts are Ghey!

lol, sorry

 

It's worth the extra money to get the oem JDM 4-1 w/ a skidplate.

No worries:

 

Whoever said they don't sit that low I think is mistaken. I have dents on my stock header from riding so low on my H&R race springs. Considering everyone is saying it hangs rather low I think you will run into problems. Heres my car with AGX's and the RACE springs.

 

what about the sport springs will the sport springs give good clearance

 

that scrape plate looks BEASTLY!

he is

 

hehe, well then my comment stands. his was uncalled for. i don't come on here saying how shitty his hood looks and how ugly his yellow car is. i came on here posting pics of race springs so the poster could get a clue on how bad it would be for his jdm header. then mr. wiseass comes and you know the rest........

well if you are on Koni's then you have a hieght adjustability in the shock so you could set it for low
I haev had the bove mentioned set up and I did not dent the header but I did scrape the test pipe a few times
if your that worried just get soem coilovers like the Omni or Apollo and set hieght the way you want to

I agree, just drive carefully

I was considering lowering my ITR but I don't want to go through the hustle of damaging my headers.

 

HA!
a few weeks back Opie and I were in Manhattan doing the cruise and on 57th St going about 20 I bottomed out and nicked my oem 4-1 header, Boy was I pissed! But it was only a scrape with close to no damage. I can't picture all you fools going thru NYC with dropped cars and headers. 8 out of 10 of you would leave this city with damage underneath.

My caR is on stock suspension too

 

i am running stock shocks and h&r sports springs. i've never had a problem with scraping my JDM DC 4-1 header when daily driving. it's only been scraped and slightly dented because i went off course when autocrossing. honestly, it really is about paying attention when driving. sometimes you can't help scraping, but it's never happened to me.
