for those who are anti-mudflaps or say they scrape under hard cornering:



Close but no cigar.

so, mudflaps don't scrape, just come darn close.

 

mine scrape all the time.

 

im guessing the car in the pic isnt lowered, cause if your cars lowered very much, they're gonna scrape

 

kams car is lower with uhhh lemme think koni yellows and intrax springs? if i remeber right

 

What about when you go over speedbumps?

 

depends on the speedbump.

yes, it'll scrape over some larger ones. even on some slopes of driveways.

I'm just pointing out that it DOESN'T scrape under hard cornering, which was an argument a few weeks back.

I have koni yellows with intrax springs. It's lowered, just not slammed like a lot of people tend to do. I'm sure if I was slammed (slammed, meaning, front wheels tucked under fenders...which is too low imho)...it'd scrape under hard cornering.

it really does depend on what springs you run.

 

mudflaps are fuglee....

 

theyre awesome and protect the body. and mine scrape under moderate cornering sometimes. but im rollin on stock honda suspension.

 

hey driven, i'm with you there.. my friends car, Lt. Dan and i both run mudflaps and both autox.. he had about a 1 inch wheel gap with 15's and azenis, and runs 13x8 diamonds.. he doesn't scrape.. neither do i. i don't have a wheel gap in the front.. hehee. yeah, my car is a little too low..

your car may not be "slammed", but i'm sure it'll outhandle all of the "slammed" CRX's out there.. including mine.. until i throw on Lt. Dan's old suspension, Koni yellows with 550lb front and 600lb rear springs and an Addco swaybar. eheheheee.

and mudflaps look good.

 

those arn't the stock flaps, and its not lowered as hard as most people.

 

mudflaps caused the cancer on my front fenders boooooooo

 

b/c he ain't stunna dropped

 

that crx is not scraping because its suspension is done properly.
i think that ride height is nice.. not too low, not too stock..

hell, my mud flaps scrape even though i didnt even touch on suspension on my car yet. (on speed bumps that is..)

 

this guy is funny~

 

what?


You can kinda see the "Honda" imprint on the flaps.


I believe this is under light acceleration...so the suspension has not shifting to the front of the car. So, it's not slammed, but it's not stock height either.

 

i understand that this car is built for autoxross and not that low for a reason. However myslef personaly have a street car and its very low, and i wish i could sport mudflaps but unforently when i try they get shreaded.

 

"slammed" cars aren't "slammed" for the purpose of handling.
they (we) obviously don't care about handling.
it's a look thing.

and don't say that's rice because it's a "look thing"...rice is rice, but because it's low does not make it rice. covering my butt

 

my car handles pretty damn good and its slammed. ground controls with blues. strut bar frnn back, stock sway bar. however i do need some new bushings

 

i'm surprised your blues are actually holding up..

 

but, you're on stock wheels? so, it's obviously not competely a "look" thing.

but, agreed, the "slammed" look is just that, a look that isn't the best for handling or even daily driving (anyone who complains about their stock wheels rubbing knows what i'm talking about).

 

My mudflaps are 1/2 inch off the ground. They scrape all the time.

 

right but my personal "style" (if you want to call it that), has always been stock alloys. every honda i've had, has had Honda alloys of some sort. both kinds of CRXs, 2000 Si's, 2000 optional Si's, delsols, whatever.

big rims (even 15s to me) are just negative-attention getters and rub more.

 

but they allow to run bigger brakes (reason why i have 15s) and wider tyres!!!

 

how big of brakes are you talking about.. and you can get wide tires on 14's
