Should i slam her HIN ??

So. i am tempting to slam blackura for the show, but i am wayy too worried about scraping shit and breaking shit the day before, or even getting it out of my drive way.

I am on Tein Coil's... about 1.8/1.9" down....

i did a little choppin'... think a better drop will make a difference?


now


bout .25" lower



.5" lower. about the tein max i think



is it worth taking the risk of f*cking something up before the show, or on the way home...

Man you and me both are in the same boat. I got a show in Portland this weekend "Hot Portland Nights" rip off i know.
The morning before the show im actually getting my front camber adjusted, and im thinking that at the same time lowering it just a bit more and doing about 15mph the whole way to the show on the highway so i dont mess anything up. Let us know what you decide to do, i may follow in your footsteps.

Are coilovers adjustable when not jacked up?

edit: my camber is no longer that negative in the rear...hadnt gotten a alignment before this pic was taken.

I'd do it once you get there. You'd better take a pic. I've thought of taking mine all the way down just for pics, before. I don't think it'd be very driveable, though.

I just raised my car back up to a 1.8" drop...used to be around 2.5...The difference in handling is insane...I wanna get my fenders rolled and slam it back down again!! Looked much better too but it was a pain in the ass for daily driving...esp if you live in the city with fvcked up roads.

Hey Ray.. are you bringing wooden boards too? or do you have a low profile jack.

what time are you getting there on friday? I think i may do that. we can help each other adjust so it goes real quick. the only thing that sucks is, after the show, we gotta raise it back up @ like 12pm at night... thats gonna be a pain in the ass

i have a 2 1/2 ton hydr. jack too. maybe ill bring mine also, but its not low profile, so i usually use 2 or 3 2x4's to drive up on

ok so i wanna make sure i got this right...
Coilover adjustment does not require wheel removal?
And have 2x4's to drive on top of to make car high enough for jack to go under and i should be fine correct?

not required, but certainly makes things much easier.

yea, probably really hard with the wheels on... its a shame, im gonna have my wheels off tomorrow to polish em good and do a lil bbk'ing...

so Ray, if i meet up with you @ the show, i could use the jack? definitely cant drive that thing home if its down 2.5" i might bring mine & some 2x4's to be safe. i dont plan on popping my ugly ass trunk open, so i could keep it in there
