would you recomend a certain drop using springs or get coilovers and see what works best?if anyone has a kit and likes their drop...lemme know what you have

 

Coil overs man road conditions always change, and you might need to raise it.

 

my friend had to buy a second set of springs b/c the first ones he bought were too low for everyday driving....i got coilover sleeves and love them....

 

decide what you are going for... looks or performance. I really hate people who take up both lanes going and out of driveways, parking lots and have to drive sideways REALLY SLOW over speed bumps. Lowering springs are made to increase performance. These people seem to have made their car perform worse than stock cars and cannot even drive as fast as stock cars in most real world applications.

 

that statement is kind of loaded....b/c my car is no lower than a ferrari or corvette....are you saying that you hate ferraris and corvettes that go REALLY SLOW over speed bumps....and my shocks and springs do increase my performance

 

If you car is not that low and you do not require 2 lanes to enter and exit driveways, and to go over speed bumps than you are fine. Ferraris and vettes don't need to do that and their body (side skirts) do not scrape the floor when making fast U-turns. I'm talking about cars with kits that are obviously excessively low beyond functionality. I'm not arguing with you or saying those cars looks stupid. I actually think slammed cars look good, the lower the better. But if its your daily driver and you start getting in the way of other drivers than something is not right.

I have Mugen shocks with Apex ITR springs,which has lowered my car about 2" or so. I have a Mugen front lip and side skirts which have about 3" clearance at the front and sides which is not too low but I'm one of those people that has to exit/enter car parks/ramps etc sideways in order not to scrape!
My car outhandles most others i know on an open road, and i can drive it to its mechanical limit without any problems, but around town/school areas with speed bumps its a nightmare at times!
So i wish to apologise for that extra few seconds that the driver going slow over a speed bump added onto your journey time, it must really have held you up

 

I have a full WW rs lip kit on my 97 integra and my car is lowered 1.5 inches all the way around on Ground Controls with Koni Yellow shocks. I have to go over speed bumps and some driveways sideways in order to not scrape. It pisses me off so much when people behind go outrageous and start honking the hell out of their horn when I take the few extra seconds to go over these bumps...

 

i dont want to sound like a dick, but peolple really need to just calm down...shiit it maybe at the most 15 sec. more time, just relax.. and also maybe to some people their cars are all that they have and they are all that maters in their lives so they want the assurance that their car is ok. JUST RELAX you will get to were you need to go. it will be ok

 

it's funny, i see corollas, contours, and camry's etc go slow over bumps all the time, they too take forever to exit/enter ramps to a plaza... AND they're not even sLaMmEd yO!

 

i agree...some of the funniest **** i have ever seen...but yeah love the Ground controlls..i just raised my teg unfortunatly..=/ had a 2" drop now its got a 1.5 or so.. but with these highways in the west..too risky..and speed bumps..i hit em sideways still...my resignator scrapes like a bitch somtimes..like if i have another person in my car..i wanted to tuck it higher but dont know how...or if i even could..??
