ok b4 i start i already searched this topic and all people talk about is what springs they used.

well i have a h22a in my ek and i'm currently using accord and integra axles. my question is, is it still safe to lower it even though i'm using basic axles? if so how low is safe?

 

going to dinner bump

 

bump i want to know also.

 

i dropped 2 in in da fron and 1.8 in da back...axles kinda binded so i bought enjo stage 2 axles...great h22 civic axles

 

thanx for your input anyone else?

 

IMO, don't go under 1.5" drop unless you have custom axles. there is no definite answer here though, just people's individual experiences.

those axles dont hold up when binding. they break really easy in my experience. just get some custom ones and you can drop your car.

 

thanks for the intel guys will i'ma go ahead and get some custom axles

What motor mount kit are you running? a cheap mount kit will also cause a lot of axle problems.

 

hey do anybody have pics of their ek's dropped

I've got that issue with my DSS axles too. I think that a big drop + LSD is a recipie for disaster no matter what axles you are using.
