LMAO, You told that to the wrong person!
N E ways the reason he thought you had a double wishbone suspension is because most people on here have double wishbone cars so he made the assumption.
Second, I also agree with patrick in seconding the statement that your car does not and cannot ride like a luxury car while being slammed! In order to accomplish this your car would have not only been as smooth as when you got the car BUT ALSO have got significantly smoother!
Even look at something like an M3, it is considered a smooth driving car but since it the suspension is that of a sports car it is nowhere as near as smooth as lets say a 7 series!

Re: You CANNOT ride slammed AND have a smooth ride!
From what I can tell Patrick knows quite abit about cars and suspension being one of his stronger fields of expertise.I also agree with xd69 our hondas ride quality to start with isnt great and it gets dramatically worse with aftermarket suspension and when the word slammed gets tossed in you might as well toss suspension travel along with quality out the window.I think people are willing to give up the enjoyment of a smooth ride and the ability to drive their cars effortlessly like a normal car for the sake of looks these days.

Re: You CANNOT ride slammed AND have a smooth ride!
What does bottoming out suppose to mean?
I just slammed my car last night. it's very low on the front, tucking tire SICK. the rears are tucking too but not as low.
Anyone know if i roll my fenders, will i stop rubbing?

When your shock rod hits the bottom of the shock body, reaches maximum resistance.
You'll be SICK of bouncing around in your seat after a while.
Maybe...but there are many variables to take into consideration first. What size wheel, width, offset, tire size, fender liners and ultimately how low you have the car.

Re: You CANNOT ride slammed AND have a smooth ride!
true but it definetly doesnt ride as shitty as the Koni/GC set-up everyone raves about... i rode dumped on it for over a year and it was nice but the silks are 10x better.. of course nowhere near stock, but thats a good thing..
BOT: OP is correct, you cannot have a slammed and smooth ride.. smooth= cadi ... we drive hondas.....

Tires always seem to be the under estimated factor when you're considering ride quality. My mom has an EM2 on stock suspension with 205/40/17, and the ride isn't exactly smooth. (I know its strut up front)
A friend of mine has an S10 on air with 225/35/20 up front and 255/40/22 in the rear.. and it rides like hell no matter what height he sits at. (He rolls Slam Specialties Bags, a KP six link out back, Extended control arms up front and a notched frame for the tie rods)
I run 195/55/15 upfront and 205/55/15 out back, with GC's and stock shocks in front, and GC/Koni Yellows outback and almost everyone who rides in the car for the first time is surprised of the ride quality.. Still not stock, but for tucking tire.. not bad..

define smooth. I have progress coilovers on them. 10kg/mm front and 6kg/mm rear i believe. i think the ride is smooth. of course not many other people that's ridden me agree with this.

Re: You CANNOT ride slammed AND have a smooth ride!
Hey, im new to honda-tech and also new to cars. I recently bought a 99 integra and it came with rota d2 and coilovers. Itss lowered but i wanna get it slammed or atleast tucked in half a tire. I was wondering how i could slam it. Is 16" rims too big to have it tucked in or should i get 15" rims. Also what are the steps i need to do to slam it. I was told by someone that they need to take my inside mudguards off and grind my fenders to make it smooth. Do i have to do all that and if itake the mudguards off, wont water go inside the hood and engine? Thanks

Re: You CANNOT ride slammed AND have a smooth ride!
Well in SC you can run slammed. The roads are oh so great compared to where I reside now. KS. The roads are booty. They have the expansion joints to let the sections expand and contract depending on weather, and it's just a rough ride all together.
But, Yes, Pat, your right. People need to open their eyes and smell the tulips. There is a great compromise when it comes to suspension setups.

You can ride slammed and have a smooth ride. My car is proof. 98 Integra on ground control coilovers kyb agx shocks and oem front upper control arms. 3 inches from my jack points. Rides only a little stiffer then stock. Handles great and rarely scrapes.
