Installed the coilovers today. IMO im irrisponisbly low.. but i love it. zero finger gap













since these are my first pics of my car ive ever posted might as well post the engine too




but highway is a BITTTTTTTCH. but i can get used to it since now im

 

ha, looks like you didnt need my help, eh. how hard was the install, not too bad right? how low you got it (# threads left)?

 

well my friends a mechanic so he gave me a discount and i had him do it. i tried doing it myself but i dont have the tools. its much softer than i accpected. and for how low it is. im not sure other than zero finger gap... though i think im gonna need camber kits since i have 3 degrees of camber in the front and 2 degrees in the rear.

 

Looks great. What kit is that?

 

Nice, now get yourself some wheels!

 

im dropped on k-sports coilovers

 

after driving it for a while my driver side front bushings are going out and i had to take off my front mud flaps so i wouldnt scrap every where and holy shit my car gets dirty quick.

 

^Haha, welcome to the world of lowered cars. I know how you feel.

 

gotta pay to play mang

 

yeah i went from never driving a lowered car to slamming my only car... i dont regret it but takes some getting used too. The only shop in my town that works on suspension really is les shwab. every one else just grits there teeth lol. they charge $66 for replacing the upper and lower controll arm bushings on one side. all i need to do is buy the bushings -_-... till then i guess ill get some break lube and bring it over to the local shop and ask to borrow there floor jack for a half an hour and lube up my bushings, that should last me 1-2 weeks with light driving right?

 

wow thats low

 

nice drop for sure. I've driven a lowerd car lately, honestly i dont like the feeling, feels like a go kart, maybe cuz it was a civic

 

Civics are go karts with lawn mower engines

 

true, but they're easy to fix, parts are cheap and plentiful,they last forever and hold value really well
they're popular for a reason

 

I know all that, they're still go carts though

 

back to the subject, i have yet to drive a lowered CL/accord, something more heavy and significant on the road. Once i do, i guess then i can say if its worth it or not. Its not really fair to judge a lowered car based on a civic

 

wow thats ridiculously low lol
