what kind of springs give a 1 inch drop all around?

 

Maybe Honda Factory Performance springs. Why such a small drop? You'll hardly notice a difference.

 

oh because i dont want to scrape evertime i drive up my driveway lol

 

ill let you know how it feels on my Koni/GC pretty soon. im raising it to 1 in below stock height sometime real soon.

 

alright thanks!

 

u might as well not drop ur car if ur jus goin 1 inch. i hav a 2" drop and i dont scrape.

 

You may have this up somewhere, but toyomatt84 how much did you drop yours? I was looking through another post and saw the thread with the pictures of your car and the drop looks perfect... very very nice btw.

It's about 3" - 3.75" lower than stock. I didn't measure it all that much with the stock suspension on, to be honest, and I run coilovers.

 

howd you get it down so low? my back tires would definitely rub. as it is if ppl sit in my back seat and i hit a bump they rub!

Where do you rub? The quarter panel or inner fender?

PS. Just to let you know, I run tall tires (same overall height as stock), so the ground clearance is more than those with shorter sidewalls. fventura03 had a dumped stance at Import Alliance, and the tires emphasized that fact even more. I think he was close to 4" from stock.

 

inner fender. not the top but the inside. maybe if my wheels pushed my tires out more they wouldnt. im on stock ex wheels still.

Do you have a camber kit?

 

im about 2 inches from the ground right now and i have no idea how you guys do it and not get frustrated. i cant imagine attempting it in winter time.

It's fun. Actually, I'm a rather patient driver as it is, so slowing down a little bit more on entry/departure doesn't phase me. Snow's fun, I usually have taller than OEM tires for winter, though. It helps compensate for the lower stance.

My biggest pet peeve, is inner fender rub with wider tires. I can't seem to avoid it. I guess that's what I get for wanting wider than OEM-spec tires.

To be honest, if I can make a new header/cat/mid-pipe section, or somehow modify the existing setup, I'd like to go a little lower next summer (1/2" or so). Right now, the cat/mid-pipe cause issues on decent bumps/pivot points. It is 2.5", and not originally from the car, so I guess that's expected.

well i'll have to get one for the back then

 

Wow... How do you get it that low? I'm assuming the coil-overs is what allows such a drop (I've never had experience with coi-overs)? I'm thinking about dropping mine but It won't be that much... as for now I have to run it in the winter and I get alot of snow in 'ol Ohio.

You'll be surprised how low you can go with a camber kit. Before I change these out in a couple weeks, I'll show you just how low I can go with the rear of the car. The fronts are completely dumped as is. You want to talk about tire tucking?

I'm in Wisconsin. Care to compare snow fall?

 

id go lower if it wasnt for my driveway. the front definitely has plenty more room to tuck. right now my back tires just barely tuck into teh fenders

I prefer the look of "level". I measure clearance from ground to the side (where the side skirts would mount). I measure (on both sides) behind the front wheel, and in front of the rear wheel. I match the numbers as best as possible, before taking it to the alignment rack.
