Its Lowered

Hey guys thought Ide share some new photos with you guys. Well I finally got it Lowered about a 1.8 drop and I know alot of you have been telling me to lower it and you guys finally convinced me so here it is.

Its a small drop to many im sure but it makes a big difference, anyways im running on my stock 14" wheels and havent had any problem with bumps or anything yet, jus driving a lil slower and I think its a perfect drop for my everyday driving.

Lemme know how you like it?

Looks wicked brother. A little shine up on those rims, with some tire cleaner to polish it up and your good to go.

sweet man looks wicked.... im also getting the same sized drop on my hatch soon...... for a daily driver its perfect..... any lower then that and im sure you'd be getting annoyed alot from alwasy scratching your lips....

what size rims and tires do you have??? seems like the wheels should fill in space a bit more... but thats just me....

oh and i think you should invest 30-40 bucks for some amber corners and get ride of those ones you have now... it will make a HUGE difference

I like the drop. I just dropped my 01 Civic about the same with sportlines and tokico blues and anymore and I would be scraping. Too many people overlower their cars with just springs. If you are gonna go low it should be with coil overs. Sport Compact Car did an excellent article on suspension geometry and it said that many cars handling get worse when the drop is too low. Some cars (Nissan Sentra) perform better at stock ride height. Just some food for thought.
