If you want it dumpt (wtf who spells it like that) then just get airbags. I've seen it on a european ep3 before.

Pick up some 50mm wide skateboard wheels.....remove your stock springs and replace them with the skateboard wheels....you will have the lowest, most ricey ep on the planet!!!!



DISCLAMER: Your car will be unsafe for public roads.....like every other riced out belly dragger on the road.....

I wanna go as low as possible. My EP will not be riced out. I like low cars, always have. All of my cars have been dumped <----(just 4 u turboteg2nv). I kind of wish I wouldnt have bought this EP. The suspension set up blows.

I think lip Kits make the EP look riced out, not lowering them.

My deffinition of rice.......anything that decreases the preformance of a import car for looks.....In short, form over function is rice imo. If you are trying to make your car look like a race car that has 20 grand in suspension mods just becase you think it looks "cool" but you do it at the expence of real world handling. How are you any different than the kid with the stickers, wings and neon?......like I said.....thats just my deffinitoin...

I think lip kits cut down air flow under a car for increased preformance. They also keep my 225 tires from spraying road crap all over the side of my car....

Here my set up of my ep


im on function. If u really wanna ride slam, be prepare to spend alot of money.
1. u going to need alignment that tires doesnt wore out n give traction some how
2. bushing would start to wear out faster
3. sooner or later ur susp. will start to loosen up, i had this problem already, took it to alignment n they had my numbers on the computer, but when they did something, it gave them a diff number again.
4. when u drive around and u hit like a small bump, it feel like u really hit it hard..
Dont know wah esle so far haha.
im not trying to be smart or anything, mustcline knows more than i do so yeah..
But im satisfied with my ride tho.

If you really want to dump your EP I would go with Progress coils or Ground Controls.I wouldn't recomend dumping an EP or a DC5 because of the way the the suspension is designed though.

i havent done sways yet but i have autoX the car and it handled pretty well.. better than when i had the Tein springs on there. granted i do have the car properly aligned so im not running any extreme camber or anything. the fender is bend because i i had a bad axle.. to diagnose that problem i did the stupidest thing ever by holding the hub with a hammer.. longstory short.. the diff sent power my way the hammer got yank out my hand and destroyed my fender and sidemarker. this was the worst week for me with my EP because it was after my coilover install.. i had ****ed up my alignment.. so i had to slign it, then my clutch went.. then my axle then i broke the fender.. all in 4 days

none of the damage on my car is from being slammed... i actually know how to maneuver my car.. even with the volvo lip on i used to get by just fine
