whats good people this is my car i got it about 4 months and since then
99-00 front end (painted to match)
99-00 tail light
si cluster
armrest
ep3 four lug rims
type r wing

now im looking to dropping my car so hopefully you guys can help me decide
i want to be low but not to low since im going to be driving it everyday

 

drop it, den add a si, or type R lip, wid also a type R lip on the rear, an it look clean, an if u can get gsr blades, den add those on an it would look even sexier

 

but how low can i drop it 2'' or lower

 

Well, what suspension do you have in mind and what are your plans (auto-x, drag, etc) for it?

 

i'm planing on dropping a b18c5 or jap b18

 

suck it up and buy a decent set of coilovers, and then you decide how low you want it

H&R race sounds like the right drop for you.

Maybe neuspeed race.

Or coilovers if you can't decide.

With anything under 1.5" you'll need a good full coilover or a good shock to match the spring with.

For the love of god, why do you type like this?

WID = WITH

DEN = THEN

AN = AND

U = YOU

Pick up a ******* book.

To the OP -- Lower it however much you are comfortable with. Some people are fine with rubbing tires and scraping exhaust, and some are not. You need a good balance of aesthetics and function. Get a good spring paired with a good shock, or buy some GOOD sleeve coilovers (Ground Control) and either some Koni Yellows or Tokico Illuminas.

 

And then an alignment may be in store, if you're planning to drop more than ~1.75 inches.

get a nice set of coilovers and then you can drop it however low you want.

tein, H&R, are only a couple names of companies who make high quality coil overs. which you can drop as low as 4" if you want. and they ride pretty decent.

 

Dont forget to buy some camber kits!

Camber kit shmamber kit. Unless you're lower than 3" they're totally unnecessary.

Get a GSR swap and Turbo that ****.

Go for the Super Sleeper Turbo Look.

 

Get some good security.
Hatches are hot jail-bait *** for theives.
Theres like a thread or two a day of one being swiped.

Looks nice and clean tho, great platform to start on

 

becareful how low you drop it, when i had my tenzo r rims on i had it looking sexy and low, but realized after about a week that city driving sucks, so had to raise it a lil, i would say get si rims they look alil better to me then fat fives

you can go however low you want with a set of coilovers
yes there expensive but hey they will benefit more.
unless you want some sleeves on stock shocks for like 200.

but yeah your is definitely going to look awesome with the setups mentioned

 

If you decide to do a shock spring combo then stay away from tokico blues or kyb gr2s. I had friends who used those 2 and they all blew with anything lower than a 2 inch drop.

 

dropped my EJ1 on omnipower full coils about 2.25 inches and cant complain about anything. rides nice looks good and performs well. 10k front 8k rear are the rates. if you cant decide on a drop id say coils but go at least 2 inches IMO.

not to sound like a dick but every single post that i have seen you made you posted a pic of your car. like EVERYSINGL post. i think posting your car in just one thread is good enough. dont you think?

 

well to be honest its easier for him to see what it looks like thats why ive posted it

 

If you want 2" the H&R Sport springs sound right for you.
