Yea most of those pics the civic was aired out. But when I drive it I can change the height to whatever I want, I just raise it up to about stock height and its fine. It rides so nice on air.

What_It_Do

What supporting mods are recommend when dropping more than 3".
16x7" +40 @ 205/50/16

MindBomber

Front and rear camber kit are necessary to get a proper alignment. Extended top hats are a good idea to give more damper travel. Depending on how focused on performance you are, it's also not a bad idea to switch to RCA ball joints and inverted tie rod ends, but if performance isn't a huge concern just swap in new standard bjs and tie rods when you lower it since worn out stock ones will wear out very quickly under those conditions.

What_It_Do

RCA's being extended? (I've only seen Buddy Club extended for EM2's) and inverted tie rods meaning instead of threads going down they face upward?

MindBomber

Yes and Yes, you need to be lowered a minimum of two inches to take advantage of the RCAs and three inches to take advantage of inverted tie rods though, keep that in mind.

What_It_Do

All right where can I get inverted tie rods for EM2?

1. Disconnect tie rod from steering knuckle.
2. Rotate tie rod 180 degrees clockwise (or, if you're daring, counter-clockwise).
3. ????
4. Profit!

Hope this helps.

What_It_Do

#3 must be the part when I realize that the tie rod holes in the bottom strut mount are tapered...

Flipping the OEM's isn't going to work, otherwise I wouldn't be posting.

Yea you're pretty much looking at a custom job, but to use the stock tie rod ends, you have to grind/lathe the taper off, or drill out the hole...as far as I know, there's nothing you can buy from a store that will bolt right up.

*edit* - I decided to look into this more because I'm planning on doing it myself, and from what I've read, flipping the stock ends is the cheapest and simplest option, provided you feel like modifying the strut, but you can buy inverted ends for the DC5/RSX for around $200 that also work, but they are still tapered, and don't add any real benefits to the stock ones...and they're $200...

What_It_Do

Yeah man, I looked into the DC5 inverted rods and you have to modify the bolt by taking a lathe to the shoulder (between the threads and head) to fit properly in our size taper, and then drill the cotter pin hole lower.

Aetoc

Everyone I've asked (about 2 people lol) said that it can be done with the stockers...you just have to step drill the strut to fit the taper....seeing as how I don't have a couple of hundred bucks to drop, I'm going to probably go that route when I decide to go that low.

mac25

i have to say this because i think of it everytime someone posts here, i always think this is a place for people to say how drunk they are, lol.

grn98civic

My EM1 on different rims, lemme know if you consider it slammed?
pic with si wheels is old rims and gsr fat fives are new rims, it may not be slammed cause i have to ride down dirtroads often, but it pretty low. Thats with no lip kits or anything stock body. And the set of black wheels were 17s
