any way to lower your car thats already been lowered?

[2doorhardcore]

So 40 dollar sleeves and stock struts is a no no?

[deevergote]

That should be obvious.

....sigh....40 dollars to lower your car? Think about it, you cant` even fill your gas tank for 40 dollars.

[accord2nr81]

you can ethier change your adjustable coils and struts that will allow for a bigger drop... or you could get some bigger rims and tires to fill in the gap some more... if you lower it to much more you can kiss that chin spolier goodbye :P

[deevergote]

Bigger rims will need a smaller tire to keep the same overall diameter... so bigger rims won't fill the gap. They may give the illusion of doing so, though.

This threads still going???
Why?

[deevergote]

Because people have opinions!

And I haven't decided that it's become whore fodder yet... though it's probably time.

[jhoff]

Lol, I just thought we covered everything.
Cant believe someone was considering no name coil overs.
My cousin had a 89 Crx Si with Matrix coil overs and blown oem struts.
It rode like shit. Im surprise that car didnt kill me.

[deevergote]

Most people do consider such things. People don't understand how dangerous a setup like that is. They figure that since you can buy the parts so easily practically everywhere that they must be safe! Nobody realizes that putting cheap crap on your car is going to be risking their own lives, not the lives of the part manufacturer!
Most of those parts will have fine print somewhere saying "for off road use only"... which means they are clear of any responsibility for people who use their parts on public roads, which, as they damn well know, is practically EVERY ONE of their customers.

This is true...I have 20's and still have wheel gap

make extended tophats it allows you to go lower

It allows more suspension travel, so when you go lower, you dont bottom out as bad. Some one correct me if I am wrong please.

[deevergote]

Extended tophats provide more travel for the shock piston. It won't allow the car to go any lower than the rest of the suspension will permit, however. It will just ensure that you have a functional shock when you DO go that low.
Honestly, if you're so low that you have to extend your tophats, your car is probably far too low to be practical on public roads. You may think it looks cool, but trust me... most people, outsiders and experienced tuners alike, are most likely laughing at you.


Dumped cars are like skinny jeans. Dumb kids think it looks cool. Everyone else thinks it looks stupid. That's my opinion, anyway.



BigJakecb9, you're 20 years old, right? Were you taught how to use punctuation in school? Have you forgotten already? We communicate through typed words... it helps a great deal if we can understand what you type.

Lol. I dont wear skinny jeans. I do think dumped cars are cool, but only if it was done right. I am more fond of VIP styled builds. Thats why I am dumping my wagon, I want to build a style wagon.

The cheap ebay coilovers only allow you to go so low with stock struts, generally the back will go lower people call it boat look. If you extend the tophats the suspension will have more travel, so instead of riding on the foam stoppers your spring will actually work. Some people also cut their foam in half but i wouldnt advise doing it.
