Re: slamming a 7thgen

Not to the ground, but so low it makes it EXTREMELY hard to be a DD where I live.





Since this was taken, the rear wiper has been shaved.




Pretty low considering if you notice where I live in the sticks.



Edit-
Actually, if I remember right i'm only 4'' off the ground.

Anyways, to give you an idea of how much it sometimes sucks, at school when I was in auto shop, I wasnt even able to drive my car on the lift for an oil change.

And I had to drive it on boards to be able to fit a jack under it.

Re: slamming a 7thgen

Re: slamming a 7thgen

^^ i measured mine vs a stock civic and its even 4 inch drop. the roads in reno must be REALLY shitty cuz the roads in las vegas are very bad. i can get around fine. you just gotta know the roads.

to the op... i dont think you will ever get a 7th gen that low 'safely' without sacrificing comfort. thats a completely different story. a 6th gen slammed and a 7th gen slammed. 7th gens cant compete. the suspension setups are completely different.

Re: slamming a 7thgen

careful not to angle your car too much. I was leaving this moderately steep driveway and i angled way too much and my rear wheel went over a curb and blew the bushing and likely broke the seal around my coilover too...
