i finally slammed my civic. tell me what you guys think

 

having a car down to the ground always makes it look good.

 

Looks decent. Should be in Appearance/Cosmetics.

 

HFS.

Personally, I think it's 2" too low in front, and 1" too low in back. I wouldn't be able to get out of Taco Bell in that car.

But then, I've never been a fan of the dumped look. I prefer a more functional ride height. My car's lowered 2.5", I scrape everywhere, and people on h-t tell me I need to lower it more. No thanks.

I'll admit though, I kinda like your car for some reason.

 

its not slammed imo.

 

thanks.

 

im all the way down on ebay coils and stock struts

 

MOAR LOW!!!

 

this will last like 6 months...

 

after you dropped it. did you re-clock the front and rear LCA's?? fyi.
looks good

 

looks good kid. now get some rims to fit that fender gap...my cousin in seattle, WA has the same year and body style of yours and i set her up with some TE37's and looking good with it slammed.

 

it doesnt matter if youre at the lowest setting. this is not slammed bro.

 

yea i know..just temporary tho till i save up some more $$

 

Same. I can't have my Accord that low or my undercarriage would be in trouble from all the crap I have to drive through/over. It's the definition of a daily driver. Still, it needs a bit more lowness goin' on (went with TEIN H-techs instead of S-techs) but that'll have to wait.

Anyway, you have a pretty clean look going OP.

Thats... unfortunate. Update when you swap that stuff out for the real deal. THEN we will see how good she looks!

 

well the haven't settled yet..i just put em on like 2 hours ago

 

You can always go lower and take out 1 collar from each sleeve lol.

 

i dont know..there doing road construction around here im scared

 

Should be laid out on the ground to say "slammed" but nonetheless....it looks good

 

i've seen lower "ek"s... like fender down to the rim on 15's low... i personally think slammed is over rated. i want to enjoy driving the car, not get a work out avoiding all the pot holes, bumps, etc. but it's what you like so don't stress over what i said. looks good for what it is, although i'd pull the hub caps off, and hit the steelies with some gloss black if you don't have other rims to rock.

 

I went with Satin so the imperfections don't show up =D

and I'm only lowered 2" in the front on me. Whenever I see or here slammed, I think of some dumbass taking an O2 torch and melting the coils. Ughhh. I hate slammed personally. I build to drive DD.

 

Steelies only make the car look cheaper lol. Lowered on hubs is always dope.

 

 

What people commonly think is a suspension "settling" is actually the bushings tearing/ripping as they deform to their new static height.

If the bushings were correctly clocked (as specified in the service manual) there will be no settling, and the bushings won't be doomed to a short life.

So if you installed things correctly, it won't get any lower over time.

 

if you want to go lower you can flip the cup but get some rims and it will look alot better

 

exactly. not slammed. you dont want it truly slammed anyway, so much headache, parts breaking all the time. etc.
