    Default I finished lowering it...

    For those of you who remember my ''mini build up'' thread...which turned into a complete DISASTER... ...I finished lowering the car, front and rear. I think it looks pretty good. Still needs a good set of wheels though

    Lemme know whatchya think! (Dont Hate or Flame please....)

    Thats just how it is.....I set the rear coil adjuster as low as it'll go safely, and thats what it looks like.
    In the front, i didnt put the coil adjuster on there, i just put the spring itself on the stock perch, and let it sit down LOW.

    You should put the front coil adjusters on. It looks strange as of now.

    thats what i did when i had coilovers on the accord.the adjustable sleeve was to small to fit on the OEM strut.i rode 1 1/2 off the ground and scraped everything.but i have a body kit.so thats a diff story.lol

    Idunno why they make a coil conversion kit that they SAY will fit the OEM shock, but then it doesnt fit right when you're actually trying to install it...

    I have Tein S-Tech springs on my FC Rx7 and thats how the stance is. It sits at a dig, I don't know why but it is what it is. Its not so bad on some cars, but yo, what kinda springs do you have madking? And you said you have an adjuster on the rear but not the front? Yo I think if you want a better quality drop, you have to go with a better quality suspension. Just my 3 cents.

    Well, ive got #1 Nopi brand springs. Both front and back came with adjusters, but i just decided to scrap the front ones and just set the spring and see how low it would go. Turns out, i liked it. So i kept it.

    ...and spending more cash on 'better' parts probably would work out alil bit better for me if i had some sort of a JOB though too......

    No the kid wants his car to look like the "badass v8's" raised in the back stance. so he didn't want to lower the backs as much so he just put straight springs on the front. come to think about it he probably didnt even lower the backs

    UHMMM NO. I installed the rear ones b/cuz i HATE that look now....its not my fault that the rear ones dont go as low as the front. And, i DID lower it. I measured the drop in the rear out to be ~1.75''. Its just how my car looks. Ive got large wheel wells.
