Thats the way I feel about the ride. I have about an inch gap above the tires and didnt want to go any lower in fear of the ride getting worse.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying but sometimes looks are more important than how your car actually rides, IMO. That's how I truly feel. In all honesty though the car doesn't ride bad just little things here and there. Like the saying goes,"It hurts to be beautiful!" <---I don't know if there is an actual saying like that but who cares..........................

I also know that I become unsatisfied easy and I will want it lower soon so by doing it a little at a time I am satisfying my tendencies.

What I meant was that by lowering the car more and the ride be a little bit rougher then it's worth having if the car looks 100x's better. Now do you guys understand? Ever since I dropped it I have gotten a lot MORE looks because it being slammed and clean.

2k1civic17gabe: You have no room for talking since you ramble more than I do, do you want me to find all your posts where you just ramble on about random non sense,wait a minute, thats everyone of your posts. lol.


Dallis, you always have something gay to say don't you.

Goodtimes: I think this is the ARIZONA forum and you are living........? j/k bud

I had SRD install my coilovers and where my car is sitting is where they put it. The guy told me that if I go much lower in the back that I will lose my ride completely and I will blow the tokicos.

I say **** on that guy and do what you want man. It's your car not his. Yes, he's telling you that because he's trying to look out for your ride but if your unsatisfied with how high it is then do as you please.

Do you mean do they fit or are you saying will they blow if you put Neuspeed race springs with tokicos? Sorry I'm a little confused.

I think Neuspeed race springs with Tokico's would be a really good drop for your car JT, with the 19's and all.

I knew there was something wrong with the cam. because they've never come out like that before.

Before these ground controls, I had the skunk2 springs on my car and I believe that the skunk2 are the same or lower than the neuspeed race springs and then with my stereo the back tires were tucked on 17's. With the tokicos my car ran better than stock. the tokicos have and still work fine. I switched to the ground controls so I could even out the height.
