Pros & Cons

[DrSzSoLDIeR]

I just had a terrible experience yesterday night when driving because it's dropped. I would personally like to know what people think the Pros & Cons are from having your own cb7'sz dropped

[accord=inspire?]

dropped

good
more stable

bad
potholes, ramps, speedbumps
camber
tires wear out more often

[C91BLX7]

Theres a difference between being lowered, and having a good suspension.

Lowered
Pros
Looks good

Cons
Ride isn't good
handling isn't any better (maybe worse)
bottom out
eat tires
suspension wear

Good suspension
Pros
Looks good
Turns better
Ride is more stable
Feel more connected to the road
Ride is what you choose

Cons
Bumps scrapes etc
More responsibility

[PUMASTi]

Cons: Transmission cracking twice on you, things start rattling, and the fear of making anything on the road a hockey puck.

Pros: Awesome cornering, great steering response, good looks, and maybe even slightly better mpg for being lower to the ground lol.

That's what most people think, it is a very unsafe assumption, a drop using low quality parts can take your life. 15 dollar coilovers can't balance 3000 pounds taking curves at 80mph on highways forever.

my dad did my suspension in 1995 so i dont know what brands

spent 1k on it

and yes i often take turns up to 80mph because i got aftermarket 15s

1k should get you a very good setup.

By the way wasn't saying you have a bad suspension just saying people usually assume that just by dropping the car that's it its done.

[accord=inspire?]

i did say that didnt i ? i think that because the suspension is done back in 1995. i think it is too old. im not sure.

the good thing about driving with lowered good suspension and wider wheels is on the freeway you can turn at high speeds while other cars have to brake.

Ex im in the 1990 accord and this new tsx was on my right and i passed him while turn.. i think he was like wtf?

he must not have been pushing it hard, those new acuras will walk all over these accords, not saying you dont have decent suspension, but they just are a great all around built car
