Hey I put drop forks on and now my a arms are hitting strut tower or something along those lines lol, but does anyone know where i need to cut to cut out towers??? possibly a diy or sometihng... thanks!

 

What drop forks did you use?

Normally drop forks/knuckles are used to completely avoid the issue you have so now I'm curious.
It's when the knuckle height doesn't change and the car is lowered 'too far'.
Then the upper A-arm is up higher and doesn't have enough travel before it slams into the strut tower.

Cutting the towers is a pretty bad idea unless you plan on welding something over it to retain structural integrity.

 

Well i no longer have the problem because i totalled the car

 

lol

 

damn post some pics

 

im having the same problem to with my a arm hitting the strut tower, im on skunk2 pro s2 and st drop forks but i got use to the sound. car is pretty slam too

 

Just total the car and the problem will go away.

 

wow sorry to hear bro. most people just cut out a small peice and weld something over. hope all is well...

 

Seems to have worked in the past...

Let me guess OP... you were riding around with the problem unfixed and had a major understeer/ bump steer problem and went off the road into a tree?

 

Haha, this thread amuses me.

 

no lol i just was mad that i couldnt stop bouncing and then i rearended someone... thought it might fix it lol but yeah it was a very sad moment... but i recently bought an ep3!

 

before


after

 

I must say, for me not being into the "tuner" side of things, that car sure did look nice.

 

Yep.."did" is the operative word here....ya win some, lose some..

 

I love the y49 color, and that car looked great. Ive been there. It's a shame. Ah well, I'm sure the ep3 will be just as nice.

 

The doom for most Honda's.
The cursed Y49

 

Haha I totally agree. Ive never owned one but have seen a few meet there demise

 

He didn't read the book about that color (and the curse) staying on the CRXs.

Did look nice though as others said. Clean

 

It's all good though, right???
Now you can put that Integra front end on that hatch like you always wanted to!

OOooooOOoooOOhhhhHHhh - or maybe step it up to straight stunna' stylz and put dat Chevy Cavalier front end on, yo!

 

Oohhh... Chevy front end on a Honda? Now we are talking my style!

 

That's so weird I forgot all about the y49 curse I read about that like a month before the wreck... well I guess it was bound to happen then but still miss it

 

ride was hella clean

so is this going to turn into a partout thread?
