hahaha i totally agree. people need to learn that 7thgen's can't be slammed like previous generations.

Re: Who is SLAMMED?

Holy crap how do you do it? I mean do you guys park on the street?

No way in hell that car is your DD, dont get me wrong I like a slammed ride as much as the next guy but **** there is like almost no clearance dude you must have some really nice roads where you live.

The pot holes in Toronto are big enough to eat a car alive

Re: Who is SLAMMED?

the hangers get modified to pull the exhaust closer to the body hence tucking it in closer.

Re: Who is SLAMMED?

There is not one tiny mark from my scrapping on my front bumper. The only thing that hits is the exhaust on HUGE driveways I got the angle thing down pretty good. And the only reason it hits the exhaust is bc on the 7th gen it sits soo low off the ground

Re: Who is SLAMMED?

lower center of gravity means nothing if your suspension doesnt work properly.

Re: Who is SLAMMED?

You dont necessarily lose suspension funtionality if you can find a way to adjust the stroke of your shock body. But if you lower at the expense of shock travel, then yes, you lose function.

Re: Who is SLAMMED?

Not bad, could go a little lower, but I think that's just me and my environment that's more low car friendly than yours. Those are definitely 17s, and in Merc. Silver great color.. I have something in the works for my TE-37s (No paint, no powdercoat, just dips) I'm just trying to get the HFP front and Japanese headlights now...

Re: Who is SLAMMED?

Ok u cant getany lower then mine with out builind a whole new front end. I could see how u can tub the rear to get lower. I figured u dont get lower by adding stupid body kits or dumb lip things, u shop it and make it custom. So i bagged mine, the rear is sitting on the fender, i can drag down the road, the front i had to notch out for the axles. In 2002 it was the first civic that was bagged, They didnt make no cheap bolt on kits, we had build everything before they came out with anything. The front was a bitch bc the whole thing spins for the steering.

Re: Who is SLAMMED?

I'm not gonna lie, it looks dumb when the drop is uneven. I'm sure that's what you were going for, but that's just not something I'm looking to do.

Thanks for the heads up, good thing I'm not looking to go that low!

Re: Who is SLAMMED?

Hey people have thereown opions and thats fine i respect that. I didnt plan on going for the uneven look either but i wanted the rear that low b/c it looked sick but id have to do some major custom like tube front end to drop the front end to match the rear. So i left it as is.
