Default i want to have my car slammed! please help me

Hey, im new to honda-tech and also new to cars. I recently bought a 99 integra and it came with rota d2 and coilovers. Itss lowered but i wanna get it slammed or atleast tucked in half a tire. I was wondering how i could slam it. Is 16" rims too big to have it tucked in or should i get 15" rims. Also what are the steps i need to do to slam it. I was told by someone that they need to take my inside mudguards off and grind my fenders to make it smooth. Do i have to do all that and if itake the mudguards off, wont water go inside the hood and engine? Thanks

Are you willing to go through tires like nothing or buying a camber kit if you already don't have one? You'll just have to see if you can adjust your coil-overs any lower.

Your tires will wear quicker on the inside because the camber.

if you want to slam the car then take the inner fenders out..roll the fenders..dump the **** out of it...find a pit type alignment shop and get it aligned.

if you are worried about water getting places then dont drive your car in the rain...worry more about replacing bushings..tierods..balljoints..etc from dumping your car.

also camber is not what causes tire wear. people should read stickies/faqs before posting.

ps. wheel size doesnt have a preference on "dumpage". you can see cars dumped on 14s to dub sizes. lol. 16s with some ~195/45ish tires if you can find something will do more than what you want.

You're right, if you're implying the toe needs to be adjusted

Please stop posting incorrect information.

We have an entire thread dedicated to the fact that camber kits are not needed for even tire wear on lowered cars.

Read through the slammed thread, and see how many of them recommend removing camber kits to allow the car to get lower. They reduce front suspension travel range, which is something a dumped car needs all that it can get.

Go pick up 3 really fat chicks. Have them ride in the car with you. Your ride height will be lower... Its a joke.
