My suspension setup is Koni 5 way adjustables, set all the way up and Neuspeed Sport springs 2.5 drop ... Installed Ingalls kit and still hitting the fender and A arm ipoo pooing the top of the metal where the shocks mount in making a dimple....People say its too low and I need to go with a 1.5-2.0 springs...I dunno.... Anu suggestions...thanks

 

2.5" drop... hehe I'd say its low... If I were you I'd lower it 1.5" max.. Right now I have a 1.35" drop, and to me it is perfect, not too low and not too high.. I might be going for a 1.5" drop later, but no more.. Raise that bitch!

 

Too low for what?

 

pictures would be helpful

 

Spoken like a true enthusiast...

 

too low for autoxing
fine for daily driving

 

You gotta be kidding me.. 2.5 inch Drop for daily driving??
isn't there a thing called "POTHOLES" ?
how about Hills? hehe..
o well I think 2.5 is waay too much.. hehehe.. and here, during the Winter, it will be a SnowPlower too.. HaHa..

Looks cool.. but better be more practical there..
I will drop my R at Most 1.5... no more than that....

 

If you have to ask, then its too low. (if its a street driven car)

 

If you are hitting the upper control arm against the fender, then it's too low for the street. Plus you're probably riding on your bumpstops.

To me, 2.5 is just way too low. Unless its for show.

 

If you have the Neuspeed Sports then the drop cant be 2.5"! Unless you have adjustable perches??

Neuspeed states that their Sport springs lower the R only 1.75"F and 1.5" R. Even the race springs on lower 2.0" F.

Perhaps you have the perch on the Koni's too low? Are you sure they are on the stock position (upper notch on the front struts)? Maybe that is youre prob. 2.5" is DEF. too low for street driving.

 

too low..... especially for Autoxing

 

I don't get it...too low for autocrossing? You can't be serious. By who's standards? Have you guys ever seen a shifter kart? LOL! Seriously...too low for what? If you're hitting bumpstops or the A-arm, you can fix that. Your car can't be too low for racing unless you're hitting something or you're restricting the function of the suspension. If that's the case, you'll need to address that problem. For street? What's the point of lowering your car for the street? So you can bottom out more? Hell, the stock ride height on the R is too low for street IMHO Damn lip...

 

if you had 20s on that bad boy, it would be too low, but damn, my brother's SI was slammed 2.75" and he didn't mind. It's up to you, not us.

 

i have the same set up but with racesprings. i measured the diff after lowering and it is a little over 3". my car is low, but no ridiculous. granted i have smashed my chin spoiler quite a few times, but that i the price you pay

 

<<<<4 true inches here, daily driven street car.

 

Is this too low?



Just felt like posting a pic.

looks nice to me

 

Yes.

looks/image

 

mine is lowered 3 1/2 inches and i have no problems at all you guys are ****** for sayin 2.5 is way to low, it must be where i live but theres isnt anything that cant drive over on around or whatever my car is slammed out of its skull and still handles better than any of my friends cars

 

Ukyo, looks nice!

 

Look's awesome to me!

 

UH....... OK

 

i second that!

 

well here's my opinion.. Nothing is too low, But if you wanna be able to make some turns in Autox you will either have to take out the fender lining or get really stiff spring rates in the front. Other than that.. You'll be rubbing all up on the lining and hearing all sorts of rough scraping everytime you enter a sharp turn. I had my car lowered about 2 inches and it did horrible in turns.. it couldn't even do a U -turn in the streets without scrapping the inside fender. I'm sure i'll handle well but expect some rubbing then. BTW.. I did got better times with the stock height. I'm not flaming. I'm sure theres a way to everything. BUt its just my opinion.
