    Default Fresh Drop v.mybitchassteg

    Freshly lowered on Tokico Illuminas and Tokico Springs. Put them in last Saturday. Been riding around and found that 2 in the front and 3 in the back is sweet for daily driving this car. Now it is not slammed, and some of you guys might not be able to tell that it is lowered, but it is sitting pretty nice now.

    I get the same thing... My car isn't slammed but it sits pretty low, just doesn't look like it in pics. It's the tires, I only run a 16" rim.


    BTW: Keep it up!!!!

    Yeah, my 15s just don't fill out my wells and they shouldn't. I am in the market for 16s to help set it off.

    Thanks Deke..........

    could def. use about another inch of droppage, but you can't really argue function over form.

    With the car on setting 1, it really does have a smoother ride than stock, but you still have the ability to fawk up you lower back on setting 5. It is pretty sweet. I know it doesn't look that low right now. Part of the reason is because the pics are dark, but it is also because the car just isn't that low. I never really found out what the true drop is with these springs, but I saw it advertised anywhere from 1.4'' f /1.0'' r to 1.75'' f / 1.5'' rear.

    I seem to think so lol. Say what you want haha. My car rides like sweet, passionate sex, not a hardcore gangbang............ Not calling you out. It is just my preference to have this setup vs. coilovers on my daily driver.

    This setup was $400ish, but you can also buy this same shock/spring combo with a threaded shock body for only $600ish. I was think going with the new adjustable one but I wanted to save the $200 for new exhaust(ES-Tuning MUTHERFAWKERS). I dont think I would really go lower than this anyway.

    for a little more money than you spent you could have slammed your car on the ground and it would ride smooth...I've been in many slammed hondas that ride better than stock

    This man speaks the truth. Omni's FTW! Only $600 and I had my shit dumped and still riding smooth Besides my lip scraping on ANYTHING that wasn't a completely flat/smooth surface

    I just put Tokico blue full suspension kit in my teg 2 weeks ago, but mine aren't adjustable.

    Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.

    Yeah, I feel all of you guys. I just don't desire more drop than an inch and a half.
