[1badgvr4]

Alright honda guys im new to these car and I my my dd to be low.Im going for the oem plus look with the stock steelies with caps sandblasted and repainted plus other touches.Im no baller so this needs to be done cheap but right.Discuss.

[The BUCKY]

there is no cheap way to do it right

[Echonova]

Take the springs out.

[G.C]

Rule number 1: Do it right the first time.

[Scotsman]

Take the springs out.

true story

[DecoyOctopus]

you could do it the right way with expenisve ass coilovers and what not or you could be a real man and cut the springs in half and eventually ride on your blown springs. its your call

[9ussy]

Rule number 1: Do it right the first time.

i'm a big fan of this rule..

[1badgvr4]

Ok then whats the right way.

[The BUCKY]

ground control and koni. about 800

or full coilovers

skunk 2 are around $500 with no dampening adjustment


D2 coilovers around $850 adjustable dampening
(my recomendation)

[csmiths]

regardless, once you go too low its gonna ride like shit. so it depends on your definition of slammed

[ls-r teg]

dont listen to everyone....jus heat the springs

[BobbyFresco]

If you want cheap and don't care about how it rides, get ebay coilovers. 50 bucks, tops.

[DecoyOctopus]

its not slammed unless you can hang your hand out the window and scrape your nuckles on the ground, its not slammed unless you have speed bumps in your nightmares, its not slammed if you never have to change your oil pan, its not slammed unless allignment places just shake their head when they see you, its not slammed unless your tires have wires sticking out the inside and the outside has almost 80% tread left. OTHERWISE ITS JUST LOWERED

[G.C]

Ask QD the definition of SLAMMED.

[quickdodge®]

Ask QD the definition of SLAMMED.

Lolol. Damn rizzle! Later, QD.

[RBS]

even high end quality suspensions cant go that low......



if you really wanna be slammed for cheap cheap. buy some ebay coilovers, take the springs cut them in half and install winded all the way up and work your way from there.


cutting the springs work too but its a one shot kind of thing and dont waste stock springs, what if you wanted to go back to stock after bouncing your a$$ off? lol

The pic in your sig will do just fine.Remember im only riding on 13's.

[ash7]

lol - there is no right way or wrong way to slam a car. There are BAD ways, and better ways get what you want. The ultimate measure of success is what your goal was in the first place.

If you just want it low as all get out and don't care about your chassis longevity or ride quality, and just want a sick looking car; then just get some eGay stuff and call it a day.

If you want your car to ride well, handle better, and look sweet doing it - then save your pennies and buy some big ballin damper kit.

There is more to a car than how it looks sitting in a parking lot, how it looks while it's dynamically engaged is where it's at IMO.

dont be a pussy, just cut the springs in half.

EDIT: that way youll always have a spare set of springs if the first half give out.

[Elbow]

Taking springs out = best way, then you have the softer struts to smoothen the ride. We do it on our track cars.

i dont even think he would be able to get the jack from under that car if he did that, let alone if it would sit high enough to drive.


but the main question is, do you want to have to think about speed bumps and how to approach them, does the thought of something just being .5 higher being able to stop you bother you, or do you like to plan you trip around which roads have pot holes and which ones have rail road tracks that MAY be too high? if you answered yes to any of these questions, then a true slam is not for you.

[Elbow]

^Got issues?

[1439/2000]

If this is your DD why dont you just drive it around and be comfortable?

[redrumracer]

^Got issues?

holy hell, not really it kept saying some bs about some duplicate crap so i went to take a look and it wasnt there, about to delete 2 of em

[Elbow]

lol

Is this really done? Thats crazy.

And to the OP, taking the springs out probably is your best way to slam your car on the cheap. I know a guy that rode around like that for quite awhile. Its not comofortable but it works.

[gtikid]

Omni's

A slammed car doesn't ride as bad as everyone says it does, unless you have some terribly shitty cheap suspension. My hatch rode pretty good until my axle broke

looks like you caught one simon

[dorin48]

You can have a normal suspension and be slammed. VW guys do it once and a while only because its very labor intensive. Involves reworking strut towers, doing fab on steering knuckles and tie rods and cutting wheel wells of course.

Go here and look at what he does. -----> http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2770304

[1badgvr4]

I want the d2's but we'll see.Maybe I can find a used set.

[Andy_013]

I would get H&R Ultra Low Set Coil-Over. It lower your car 3.0-5.0 in. that should made your car nice and low.

[Humphrizzle]

you could do it the right way with expenisve ass coilovers and what not or you could be a real man and cut the springs in half and eventually ride on your blown springs. its your call

how do you blow springs?

[junior_tm]

i drove my car on springs that where cut and the car jumped like a mofo
my friend had his springs heated and it kept on lowering itself until there was no place to lower

i'm riding my car on skunk 2 springs and they look good to me and ride good no more jumping and sh!!

like some here said do it right the 1st time

[1badgvr4]

On second thought it might be gc's with koni's and champ white steels.

[greasemunkey]

whatever you do don't cut them. The car will jump like junior said. my bro did it a long time ago and spun his car around on the interstate when it was raining.

[junior_tm]

taking about spin that happened to me when i was going to get on the interstate... i was coming from 120 loop (263 off I-75) and i was going to get south bound on I-75 and when i was turning kinda fast 50mph the back of the car jumped and i lost control of the car and i went straight to the bushes on the left side of the ramp

if anyone passes there you can see the hole where my car was
i even got a ticket sayin i didnt mainten lane($280) fawkin marietta

anyways don do dat

[greasemunkey]

lol, especially if you have a hatch with no weight in the back!

[GSRteg®]

lol, especially if you have a hatch with no weight in the back!

True that

[bigdare23]

My hatch rode pretty good until my axle broke

I wonder why



I never like the slammed look. It changes the geometry of the suspension too much for me. I would never go lower than 2-2.5in my rides.

[Total_Blender]

Some people spend hundreds - even thousands merely to lower their car! Some people even cut their springs - that is the wrong way to lower a car! Why bother with different bolt sizes and components, when KaleCoAuto's do-it-yourself lowering kit is a mere four piece kit! Installs in minutes, just insert one per tire and you'll be the envy of every lowrider in town! Now available in standard, chrome, and gold.
