Icon2 What suspension out there gives the greatest drop for the EP3?

Obviously I don't plan on dropping it 4" while its smashing on the track. Performance is still my greatest concern. But I'd like to drop my baby's booty as low as it'll go on certain occasions :D Anyone have any suggestions on what my best bet is? Every other thread seems to give a price restriction. I may be living on a budget but my car still chugs 91 all day so price isn't the greatest factor.

Sorry if I didn't post this in the right spot. Looked through most of the suspension thread but the responses were either outdated or the questions too specific. I've done research on a lot of brands but many won't describe amount of drop so its been making it tough. Thought people might have some more updated 1st person experience or at least knowledge

Thanks in advance!!!

Sorry I'm no help as I mainly do RSX's. But if this doesn't get a good answer after sometime I'll move it to the suspension threads and see if they help more.

the ep3 has the same suspension design as the rsx, thus the same limitations. lower too much and the handling goes to ****.

your budget will greatly determine what's available to you. figure that out and go from there.

if you want mad slammed **** bro.. go with the racelands man, they'll put that **** on the floor bro!

Or if you have any thought of function on your mind and don't want ^ that retarded way of modifying, you can pick up a set of BuddyClub N+, Progress or even Ksports if you want. my buddy clubs go lowering than my desired liking, which basically means volvo lip on the pavement and can't drive it.

here is a pic of my car with my N+ set at a height that was a little lower than i like but still rode good because i retained full damper travel, meaning the springs were in stock location the dampers were brought down with about an inch more to go in the front and about half an inch in the rear... wheel specs are 17x8 +38 with 235/40/17 rubber all around

Thanks Gtim!! Sis, not bro �� i was looking at the buddy clubs, Megan racing, and standard Suspension I believe it was. Props on the ride �� How do you like the black side markers? Any who, the thing is... I've been doing a lot more car shows with my crew lately which is why I'm looking for the most dumpage possible. Slam it STRICTLY when not smashin or even cruising, hehe

the bro part was just the sarcasm lol.. the markers are just out because i lose them all the time in the front.. lol.. i'm in the process of getting the CTR front end to complete the look with the headlights.

you should be fine with any of those options, the buddyclub's rates cater more towards function though so a bit more on the stiffer side but it's def awesome. i love my setup

Buddy club N+'s will let you slam the car and raise it for track days with great track performance! I have megans on my car and you actually cant slam it as much as you'd think. Mine are maxed out and I probably have just below a 3" drop.

Heres my drop:
