i made a thread earlier but i think this fits the advice i need more. well anyways...i want my car to be pretty damn slammed. no need to flame but yeah...its just my personal preference i guess. well i was doing a search and i saw the bee guy's crx and it was sitting nice on sprint extreme rx springs. i was going to get those but my crx that i have(88 crx hf) weights much less than his(i think he has an si?) soyeah...i'm assuming my car would still have some wheel gap and i would really like it to be at least tucked! cause i had some neuspeed race springs on my car and it only lowered it 1 inch and yes i did buy the right ones and installed them properly! then i switched to some cheap coil overs and it was pretty slammed but not the 3 inches the box said it could be adjusted to! so yeah...i might still try out these sprint extreme rx springs but if they won't slam my car how i want it them why spend $175 on them yanno! well yeah any advice is appreciated! thanks

 

wat do u want to know?? what will slam your car?? if so get good quality coilovers that will drop what it says it will for example: skunk 2, and good quality stuff like that..

 

i myself have TENZO R coilovers and mine can be dropped about 3 inchs... and they are from a 2000 civic si

 

ive got skunk2 coilovers w/ some 89 accord front shocks. all 4 of mine are all the way down and its still not low enough for me... but it tucks abouit an inch of tire.

 

hmm on my 88 crx dx i have coilivers and the tires arnt quite tucked and when i hit a bump turning it has a loud scraping noise from hitting the inner plastic fender well guards i think

 

i just don't want any fender gap and with the coil overs i had(obx) and on the lowest setting it still wasn't as low as i wanted it. on the hatch i just sold...i had skunk2 coil overs with tokio hp shocks and it was on the lowest setting for the coil overs but the tires still weren't tucked! i guess i'll just try the sprint extremes and see if i achieve my life long goal to be dumped! haha j\k! is there anyway that the sprint extremes would lower my hf crx more than some 3" drop generic coil overs?

 

if u want to lower it that much .. u my wanna do some custom job on ur shock towers .. cuz the upper control arms are going to hit...

 

heres mine on generic coilovers and new struts http://inmotiontechinc.com/redrex.jpg is that how u want it not quite tucked

 

if you want preformance then get some real coilovers not sleeves, if you wanna be "slammed" cut your springs

 

or bag it

It is possbile to do both.

 

keep the neuspeeds .. you can cut many coils off the neuspeeds and still have a excellent ride. i would start off just cutting a few untill you get a ride height that you are satisfied with. heres mine on cut neuspeeds.


those are 50 series tires.. so if you have bigger you will be for sure tucking.

no doubt .. ground gontrols are awesome, but if you wanna save cash keep your neuspeeds.

 

thats mine dropped on skunk2 coils w/ 1 or 2 coils chopped. didnt make it bouncy or anything and i think i can drop it more...

 

DAMN Prime, That s**t is low as hell. Do you have a winch on the front bumber incase you get stuck anywhere.

 

nah i just hope i dont get stuck...got stuck today though in an autozone parking lot on my midpipe wasnt too bad...thats the only time i have. i think ill raise it up some tomorrow though. the upper control arms smackin my fender well is getting really damn annoying.

 

how can u guys turn without tire hitting fender that low?

 

i flared my front fenders about an inch or 2 w/ a baseball bat. i did hit before that if i turned sharp

Hey,

here's a picture from my adjustable suspension. It sells around 750$ here in germany...

4" should be possible @front and more than 3" @back

Dropped mine 3.5" at the front and 2,5" at the back I think .
