SLAM YOUR CIVIC, NO 1.4' DROPS

slammed2k2 · 06-13-2002

OHH MAN!
Whats wrong with all these peeps?
I keep hearing about people saying in different threads about lowering it like 1.4 , or 1.5 inches!

You gotta slam the car, what the hell is a 1.4' drop. 1.5', or even 2' is a bit better but its still not much!

And who said yea are cars are pretty low as it is? We have so much ground clearance its disgusting!
My friend has the WW G5 kit and its lowered like 1.8 and hes still got enough ground clearance (except for the sides)!
SLAMMED CARS ARE THE SICKEST
COME ON AND TUCK THOSE WHEELS

let me know what u think

Slammed civic are the sh!t if its for show but if its a daily driver its gonna ride like sh!t even if you buy adjustable shocks.

I have the pro kit with a 1" drop ("= inch, not ') anyways, I have the xenon kit and 40 series tires, and I can barely stick my shoe under it.... I don't see how you could lower it any more than that, otherwise i'd be scraping, maybe if you buy bigger tires than stock, than you could lower it more....I am happy the way my car looks now!

agreed!~[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

I agree as well, you got to balance practability with style, even with adjustables, every time you adjust them you have to get stuff re-alinged and then it throws off the camber, and it all costs money. All this stuff is important, you cant just slam a car and drive it around town like nothing. Well, I guess you could...but I think you gotta find a happy medium. Get froggy on it but don't get silly...

Im going for performance and slamming the car isnt the best for performance. you need suspention travel.

TOOLOWCIVIC & CoolMD
You guys know what im saying
and to everyone else, if you do have 17" then yea you obvioulsy cant go that low, coz you dont wanna rub too much, but like i had a '93 civic si, it was slammed, like every speed bump i went over, you just heard my whole exhaust, from the DC Headers all the way through the 2.25"piping and the muffler scraping the speed bumps!
But did it ever look sick!
Here Check it out!

I have dropped my civic 2 inches and its low as nuts. I have to admit the driving is not at all fun the constant stop and go on the roads is not fun, swerving for pot holes, slowing down over railroad tracks, going negative mach 3 over little speed bumps, and then taking big speed bumps at the sharpest angle, I dont like it but I love the way my car looks low.

slammed2k2 · 06-13-2002

Yea man!
Its obviously not 100% practical, but it has 100% the first thing you notice on the car, and its wicked!
Just feels nice, being so low 2 the ground!!!!!!!!

LikeWEEEEEEEEEE · 06-13-2002

no thanks, ill keep my vic stock height. i like cars that can make it over speed bumps. dropping a car period IMO is very weak.

Juggaman · 06-13-2002

Slammed =

Stock Height =

Could it be explained any easier? I don't think so...

Intruder · 06-13-2002

Slammed civics look good, you got that. But for people like me who autocross and want a car that handles well, lowering over 2" just isn't practical. Any lower than 2" and you lose your suspension travel along with its geometry, both of which are necessary to have a good handling car. As long as you are just going for show, go ahead and slam, but if you want at least a chance at outhandling a faster car in the turns, I'd stick to Eibach or H&R (Neuspeed race if you weekend your car). Peace.
