Tire rub. Plus extended strut mounts and hp blues

words cannot describe how unsafe that setup looks...

8.8 grade bolts break very easily under enough stress....



if you hit a pothole/bump at high speed, all bolts could potentially break at the same time...

those nuts look like they can easily back out....



get yourself entry level mig welding equipment if you want to make some top hats... don't risk it.

never seen that kind of setup before whats the concept looks like an autobot, forgive me im completely misinformed

The ideacram from a guy from tennspeed.net who had the older accord feature on stance works

i know who your talking about.
yes his is exactly like this
idk if its safe or not but looks like its working

Day one in the books. Including interstate travel, industrial park, and back road driving. Took it super easy, but still had a few good bumps. Everything is still good tight secure and intact. So far so good. Lock nuts and thread lock as well as some raising. And I think I'll be confident in the setup.

The only bad thing is that if it fails, the potential could be catastrophic. If it fails, it's much more likely to happen suddenly than gradually, and at high speeds, rather than while moving slowly. The more confident you get, the less prepared you'll be for it.
I'm not saying it WILL fail, but that truly does not look safe to me.

If the bolts are to break ill lose strut pressure and poke a hole in the hood. The spring will not come out of place.

Don't forget about lateral (normal), vibrational, and axial forces. They can knock the spring out of place if the bolts break. I'm hoping they don't BTW.

EDIT: The spring would not sit flush and possibly bend a some. We have some bent springs pictures on here some where.

[SNOOZE]

can you post some pics of how your car sits with this set up

this guy is doing something similar but it seems safer.......

my buddy found a cracked spring on his rsr setup or was it h&r?

In light and respect of the members here I have ordered the fnf type 2 coilovers due to the constant worry of breaking but it has worked and provides great results to get super low. The idea just needs tweaking testing and mathematical science to perfect all of which I'm incapable of.
