Dude...the ITR forum is for hard parkers. Not ricers. OK?

The guy did put D2s on his ITR, but he will probably get the same use as most people on here that might have Zeal B6s or something else. Parking. Hard. Then getting the car stolen and crying about it on Honda tech for 6 months.

OP. Loosen the bottom collar and twist.

The best way to adjust these would be to remove them and install something better. But it's probably never going to get used anyway. So who cares.

here is my theory about lowered caRs....
first off i have spoken in great depth with my best friend who is a mechanical engineer and builds race cars on a daily basis . in the F1 and other stuff like that from what i understood the cars are practically sitting on the floor because they get to speeds close to 145+ and take corners at crazy speeds too. that is the reason they need to be so low, and the fact that the roads are smooth and not pot holed to all hell when compared to city streets.

IMO a street car should not be "slammed" since it wont exceed speeds of 75+ on a daily basis, and maybe on a track (dont forget about the shitty roads infested with pot holes). its not worth the hassle and stess that the suspension parts, bushings, etc. take so you get that hella low looks for "parking hard". just my .02 cents
