lowering problem (2k1 sedan)
all you guys that have sedans and have their cars lowered: does your wheel ever hit your wheel well and make a loud thump like whenever you hit a dip or some kind of bump or something?! cuz i see lots og coupes that have their car slammed, and not many people seem to complain about having their wheels hittin the wheel well. i just got my racing harts put on today and i have a 1 finger gap in the back so sometimes it makes a loud thump when i hit. my friends 2nd gen integ is slammed with no gap but he never has this problem

<< The 7thgen suspension sucks that is the problem. >>
That's one of the most ignorant statements that I have ever read.
Are you sure your wheels have the proper offset? What springs and how much are they supposed to lower the car? What size are your wheels and tires?

i'm trying to drop my sedan too but damn i can't find a spring that would work good on it ......maybe it's your bumpstops bottoming out .......i hear how if you take out your rubber stoppers that problem can happen...

ya its probably your bumpstop... and no its not the only thing protecting your shock from blowing... you could have full bumpstops and your shocks could still blow... that is why you just cut it, not take it out... less chance of blowing the shock and less chance of bottoming out..
i think sportlines on a 4 door would make the rear sag, thats why i recommend neuspeed for 4 doors.. look at pics listed in the 'suspension faq' up above.. n yes the size tires you have makes a big difference...
