How to be SLAMMED without RUBBING: An informative guide to fender mods on most Hondas

[GetFRESH!]

I did this almost 2 years ago.... and kept it a secret till I totaled my brown coupe. lol. I think I told you Kashime, but if I'm not mistaken, i swore you to secrecy and we signed a fidelity agreement in blood.

Nah, actually I mean it's common sense. It's the only thing preventing your coilover perch from going lower right? Cut that bish off! I was about 1/4" from tucking 15's and had another 1/2" to spin them bad boys down.

(and yeah I had this same setup on both coupes and the integra).

So now that the cat's outta the bag... I expect to see the number of slammed cars floating around this forum to grow exponentially. lol.

lol, ya man ive been doing it since i was like 17 with my first del sol. everyone used to ask how i got so slammed. maybe were twin braham's seperated at birth

[rhd_civic_ej]

should merge all the informative post into one great extraordinary write up


oh i should also add, the most kept secret of any slammed sinsei.

You must use Ebay coilovers LOLZORs i dunno how many dumped cars ive had with the cheapest POS coilovers ever.

of course my cars that are special to me ive used ground control/skunk2's

It's just a turn of phrase man. Nothing really absolute about it. lol. Just a way to say I was at the point where going lower would have been stupid. It's more relative I guess.

I gotcha, dude. Up until the recent years, I only did actual absolute to the full definition. As in going as low as you could until you couldn't. We're talking removing the springs completely and riding on just struts, lolol. All my cars back in the day were that way. In about three weeks, my 79 Civic will be out of the shop with a 4" lowered stance. Don't know how low it will put it, but I know it will be over the tires, lolol. Later, QD.

I was doing real slammed cars when you were born, lolol. I lowered a car for the first time in the spring of 1985. It was a '77 Caprice Classic. Later, QD.

OMG i cant wait for this! :jerkit:

no homo.

so what is shorter in the front between ef an eg/dc? the shocks or the fork? or both

both, you need to remember though, that the damper stroke is what makes them shorter, not the strut body itself. EF dampers only have about 5" of depth before they bottom out.

Damn Kash, why you gotta be tellin his secrets?? Hahaha

Don't forget to add another secret, which most of "us" know, and since most of the tricks are out in the open, might as well add this one too.

Take out the top perch or spinning lock off the coilover. Of course only do this if you "maxxed" out the coilover. It'll allow it to sit a bit lower

Looks like you did it here and replaced it with something else? Coilover's have 2 of these perches, take out the top one for a little extra room, or do both and take it lower

ill make my contribution of my old civc and crx... the civic was actually lower than this at one point, but it caused more damage to the car then it was worth...

and ill post up some pics of my current ride too if i ever actually slam it....

EDIT!!!!
