whats up I have a 2000 si and I wanted to know how much i should lower it and what would look the best

 

Its all on opinion, for me tucked is enough. In doing this though you get what you pay for. Do a search, they're threads like this and people post pics they're rides with whatever springs or setups they use.

 

dump it. you'll love the sound of exhaust pipes scrapping against the road.

 

slammed

 

No finger gap, but does not necessarily have to be H-t means of "Slammed"

I prefer yellow Koni Sports and Ground Control Coilovers. You simply can't get wrong with their lifetime warranty

 

dump it.. if you live in calicommunist. ups sorry i mean california.. u'll love the way cops pull u over for dumping your car to low.. ... see you on court!!!

 

i dont drive my car in maywood/cudahy , cops are dicks there.

 

NO MORE THAN A POLICE NIGHT STICK ON GRAVEL, SO i'VE HEARD.

 

If it's your daily driver, and you don't wanna go over-bored, some good shocks with a "sport drop" will be enough. Not to low, not to high will do. Or, if you don't care about that, then I say slam it on it's nuts!

My coupe is my weekend car, so i might have to get her a jockstrap once the coils go on.

 

slam it, or 2.25 inch drop

 

sport drop worked for me. our roads suck down here.

 

Are you going to drive it in the winter over all the snow?

Don't go too low considering how bads the roads are here and how much it snows.

 

dump it until ur scrapin frame, then go down another inch

Ideally .75" to 1.75" with sport springs. You'll still be able to use OEM components - and still be within factory specs...

Beyond 1.75" you'll be have to start installing recalculated front a-arms, longer rear trailing arms, and all that rot!

You can go as much as 3" using coil-overs and struts but this will result in severe alignment problems, excessive tire wear, and won't be much fun to drive!

After that... you're on your own!

Here's a snappy of my DD:

1.75" front / 1.5" rear - zero gap with HX wheels - 4.5" ground clearance on front lip - perfectly driveable (if you watch yourself)...
