need some advise

Ok since i put the wall in my car my car sits a bit too low...the tire hits the wheel well just a bit of rubbing

the coil overs are jacked all the way up and its still doing this

heres my options
im not sure the price of any of them so if anyone can help that would be great

1 take car to honda dealership and put new struts and springs in the rear making it stock height but with all the weight from the wall it will sit semi low, dunno the cost of that

2 wide body the back end of the car with like some fender flares or somethign like that, body work and paint and flares, dunno the cost

3 air ride the car, dunno what kinda problems id run into with that. dunno cost of a basic front back side side setup

what should i do??

Pat

Hey PAT
Don't bring your car to the dealer , man.
do the shocks your self , it isn't hard at all !
you'd save a bundle too ... i might have a 1999 GSR shock spring set for ya ... will be all four corners though ... pm if interested

air bags would be killer ... you could pan cake your car for shows
.... mmmmmm air bags ... not sure how much they run these days...
v8hunter03 $5g's for real ... seems kinda high ... but would be well worth it

i'd do the bags

u can get bags done for 2500 or under... i see your from Hamilton, so go over to Underworld and they have it on sale for 1999... i think its still that price

but u need room in the back of your car for the tanks etc so i hope the wall doesnt take up all your room...

nd air ride will add more weight to your car aswell... so ur car is gonna be one heavy *****
