we pay our taxes so as to NOT have raised manhole covers!?? I mean... who does that in the twenty first century?? this isn't medieval england!! we have technology, I would assume we can manage to make a level plane on which to manouver our charriots lol we also happen to have shock technology... it just costs a lil bit of money that's all. I recommend Ohlins external oil reservoir coilovers

I dont understand, you spent all that money on LCA and a "strut" not sway bar, and you didn't bother doing shocks?

that would be the first thing I would have done, riding that low on stockers is bad

Yup, and unlike way too many that are slammed ridiculously low, this one looks like it's still usable on typical city streets and driveway curb-cuts.

Perhaps, but there are enough abnormally-low cars out there too, often with springs cut and virtually zero suspension travel. I often find myself stopped behind them as they have to slow to almost a stop to get over the curb-cut to get into Timmies, and even then they scrape.

That's way too low in my opinion, too low to the point where the car should be considered unsuitable for street use and pulled off the road.

But this one, it sits pretty nice.

Very nice drop but like the others have said, I would have saved the extra cash and drop the car one time instead of blowing another installation fee when you decide to buy the new struts.

putting shocks in now would be a breeze there not seized, im not to worried. I use to have coils on my eg and an ef, so this is somewhat of an improvment.

like I said I ride at nearly stock height... it's maybe an inch lower from stock. I still stop at railroad crossings and I still curb-cut into driveways and parking lots... the roads are too ****ty for me not to. and its not for fear of scraping... I do not scrape anywhere cuz the car is so high... it's more cuz railroad crossings are SOOO bad and curbs are so high... i do it in my stock beater too. I mean, you would think if we can build a tunnel from continental europe to the UK, that we could make a straight, level road.
