Would never suggest anyone goes this low. 2inch drop is reasonable not this 3inch drop.

I'm a bit of a wuss and only went a 2 inch drop, but hey, it's legal.

can u guys enter maccas with that height ? i wasn't able to enter maccas after i install EK's coilover onto my DA because half of my rear wheel went into the guard ( 5 cm off the ground from the cat back ) ....now i have to adjust the rear to the highest but the cat back still scrapping like a mofo ...

[FR33K]

ummmmm... which maccas.... they're not all the same...........

[doonbar]

[FR33K]

your rear is definately lower then stock...
just with your front wheel though.. is it just me or does it seem pushed back ??

[doonbar]

it does look pushed back...or maybe the wheels is slightly turned...

[wkdteg]

yeah ur deff right FR33K
my wheel alignment dude noticed it last yr when he was doin my rear camber. the drivers side is abut 2-3cm pushed back compared to the passenger side. i was gonna take pics as a comparo and post it up, but i havnt had time since uni started.
would any1 know wat the problem would b? like sum sorta bent arm or sumthin?
cheers

[aus91integra]

try adjusting your radius rods.. looks like too much caster :thumbsup: or the arm could be bent

[Cold Fusion]

someone must of hit a curb pretty hard for that to happen i think...

[garett]

mine looks like that too, i thought i was going crazy the gap from the tyre to the guard is 40 mm on one side and about 60mm on the other, nothing is bent and the car drives normal, does anyone know what the problem is, could the forks be backwards or something????

mine is on both sides

Dead set?Geez thanks for the heads up champ...:rolleyes:

sml-089,I love what you've done with your car mate.Keep it up ;)

[GARF]

So i take it from this thread that coils is the way to go, compared to lowered springs? I guess the adjustabilitily has it advances. But the cost is the only issue with me. I just want my teg lowered. Instead of the high stock look on 17s. And where the hell have i been lately, since when is cold fusion's teg blue, i thought it was silver. By the way freek I know how u feel, my car has different shades of red too, but yeah not as bad as yours.

[sml-089]

Was that sarcasm? im confused:confused:
Garf: i also got one discoloured panel. im gunna try colour code it myself though

[GARF]

lol, i got more then a different discolour panel, i have a discoloured side. One side got respayed when the owner before me had someone crash on the driver side. So i have a good side and a faded side,lol. I take usaul taht good pics from the good side.lol

[gumbs]

Gotta love the ghetto Da9s mine is finally getting fixed properly previously it had a white front gaurd, black bumper, dented bonnet with red oxide over the cracked paint and shoved in rear end. Still drove beautifully and I love her to bits but by god shes ugly.

My car is about an inch lower than stock sitting on 15" and koni yellows. It doesn't look that great but its practical and it handles well.

Mine's a nice height. I'd like it to be lower but I already have issues with everyday things like getting out of my driveway and doing the groceries. My mudflaps are getting lower every week :p

[Jon_51]

^^^I think I saw you at stafford city a week or so ago? If it was you I was looking at your car not your passengers. lol.
my cars 600mm to the heighest point of the wheel arch.
I had it a bit lower for a week, but found it wouldn't get me in and out of most car parks without scraping something

[JHMDA9]

Nope not me :) I'm on the southside.

[Jon_51]

didn't think there'd be many da's getting around with those wheels not on standard springs. my bad, I guess there has to be atleast two.

[JHMDA9]

I'll bet mine's shinier :D
But when people see my car they don't know it's not stock height. It looks standard.
The thing about the DA integras is that there's no way to really lower the car without only being able to drive on totally flat roads everywhere. The floorpan is quite low to begin with (shown by parents struggling to get in and out at stock height - this ain't a corolla :p). Some people don't care about damaging their cars though and will scrape their front crossmembers and oil pans and exhausts etc.

Mine is around 35-40mm lower (I don't measure so can't tell you exactally) and I don't scrape anywhere, ever. You just have to watch how you drive on bad roads. I'd much prefer to have a low car and be careful than to be completely oblivious in 4x4 mode. Stiff shocks and springs will help a lot so if you are just lowered on stock shocks you're in for all sorts of nasty bottoming out problems unless you drive really slow everywhere.

wat happend to your passenger side indicator coldfusion?

its a speed hole :D

nar when i got paint job they put them on the wrong way thus breaking both and its just fallen off, im buying new ones soon though!

and the bite of hatred is from the criticism of the dick head who is dissing all of our cars, he can say that there "arnt any nice Da9s" but looking from his avatar his isnt that crash hot either...kinda ironic how he can go around saying stuff when there ARE people with nice Da's but he's just a fool

Cold Fusion, I wasn't referring to your car. Was I mentioning anyone's car on here? No.
Yes I am a girl. No my car is not a POS. If you saw the condition it's in you wouldn't say that.
I am not a fool, nor am I a dickhead. Don't go making personal comments. You may think my post was foolish but that doesn't give you the right to call me a fool or a dickhead. You don't ****ing know me.
I wasn't referring to any particular car, not yours, not mine, so don't roll your eyes at me mate. I'm not going to bother elaborating on my previous post because there's no need to. If you choose to interpret it that way, so be it. You can determine from my avatar that my car isn't crash hot? How so? Is it the lack of a new paintjob and wheels that makes it seem it's not 'crash hot'? Is it that my car isn't dumped on its ass? No, it doesn't have a new paintjob and new wheels and isn't dumped, but it looks good for a 16 year old car.

Don't worry about him he has a habbit of misinterpretting shit and going off at people.

Try and get some semi decent wheels for your car the ammount of difference it makes to the look of your car is well worth it. Even a set of cheap shit second hand 14s will make the car look a million times better.

Other than that it looks pretty nice.

[JHMDA9]

Thanks. I actually have new wheels on order. I really don't mind the stockies though. I think they look good on the car. I don't understand why so many people hate them. They're not butt-ugly like some others.

this is "how low is your DA" not "how low is ur dc"

[bradess]

i think the back is too low i need to fix that somehow

[EKVTIR-T]

holy shit!what did you do?
what suspension did you fit?
commodore stylez lol

[bradess]

wat do u mean by "commodore stylez"
kmac springs lol

[EKVTIR-T]

You know how those commodores take out the rear springs and look like that lol.
Maybe the springs are back to front?
It doesn't look right..

[bradess]

are the larger of the 4 springs meant to go in front or back?

[EKVTIR-T]

Usually the longer would be the front but maybe some brands are different.
How much difference in height are the 2 sizes?
Is one pair thicker metal than the other?
The thicker ones should be the front because of the extra weight.

[bradess]

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91474&highlight=diy+springs

mine were similar to that. i did notice a huge difference in length between the kmac rear springs and the stock rear springs.. almost half the length

[string]

You'll probably get much better handling out of a DA if you installed lowering springs back to front. I've never done it so I'll leave probably in there. Might be hard to dial in a good ride height though without height adjustability.

i had the same problem with my KMAC springs and i took them back to get them reset (free of charge)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/FR33K/low.jpg

[GARF]

I got kmac's too. Custom made. I thought the same thing at first, like something just doesn't seem right. But looking at pics of mine it looks normal. But on the back im like tuckin on the drivers side and on the other side on the rear it doesn't seem that low under the guard. Not too sure if from previous crashes or whatevers but just doesnt seem right. But it looks fine when looking at it. I guess im wiggin out or something..... But after owning kmacs and gettin lowered springs. I'll probably go coils from now on. Mainly for the adjustability.

i've been wanting to lower my da9 for a while now but cant right this second seeing as where i worked went bankrupt = left me short 2 weeks pay but uhm , aftermarket exhaust on mine and the piping towards the back hangs a tad too low for my liking , im thinking if i was to lower even say 2" that pipe is just about on the ground 0.o i dunno . . definately want to though its looking like SHI-FTY's. Im feeling the CRV opinion bad too !

i bought them second hand.. so wat can i do?
im a noob but i was thinking today would it b possible for me to put the stock front springs in the rear coz they are shorter but not too short?

[EKVTIR-T]

Were they for DA integra or EK civic?
Are they the ones for sale from this site?

[bradess]

Were they for DA integra or EK civic?
Are they the ones for sale from this site?

no they were from an eg/dc

[FR33K]

well theres the answer to your question...

springs arent really interchangable between the two models but coilovers are.. due to the shocks in the eg/dc being shorter

[kikxz]

FREEK man your car was bloody brilliant even tho the color was mixed n matched it still sutied the plates like as in FREEK.. i dont know if thats what the plates were for but its looks sexy man

[thescotty]

[Ashwee]

Can anyone recommend me some good springs to get around a 2 inch drop? I just want a little wheel tuckage.

[thescotty]

you should DIY some centre caps on those wheels..there was a good DIY in the thred with some dude putting some lil rubber things in, then paint them white.

[Ashwee]

Already made some centre caps the other day, cars too dirty to take new pics.

this is perfect height for me...

[thescotty]

the 2 nice black tegs of melbourne:)

[Ashwee]

Spoon DA9R - what springs are you on?.. Thats the kind of tuckage I want. King Lows gave me like 1cm drop when we measured them, didn't wanna pay $280 and not be able to tell its lowered..

[Spoon DA9R]

i m on coilovers man...so its adjustable height

[Ashwee]

Touche! Trying to find springs here is such a pain!

sorry for large size, cbf re sizing, but sitting on koni yellow with kmac atm. prob get ground control eventually. also, camber kit all round

[EKVTIR-T]

sml-089 how much travel do you have in the rear with that height?
The distance between free standing height and bottoming out.

[sml-089]

:s ive never bottomed out. as i said, i have koni yellow and set them stiff, and the springs themselves are rather stiff

[EKVTIR-T]

Reason I ask is I was at that height recently and looking at the shock and spring it is almost bottoming out.

[sml-089]

npe. thanks for concern lol

[EKVTIR-T]

You obviously don't understand what I'm getting at lol
Thx for being a smartass ;)

[sml-089]

wasnt trying to be a smartass. explain yourself more plz, i mustve misunderstood u

[Jon_51]

sml-089, how big are those wheels?
I had my mine about that low for a while but I beached it on the subframe at the front once getting out of my driveway and thought it be best to raise it up a bit.
now i've got it with a 3 finger gap at the front and two at the back.

[Spoon DA9R]

i think its 16"....

[sml-089]

yeh they are 16s. front is 2-3 fingers, rear is negative 1 finger id say

[Spoon DA9R]

clint u needa get coilovers man...just getting springs won't achieve wot u want..u should know that! hahah

[thescotty]

springs achieved what i wanted ;)

[Ashwee]

haha king lows on da9s arent even noticeable.. i just have a thing for cars dumpeddd I think :D

[EKVTIR-T]

no the reason is if you lower a DA too low you run out of suspension travel.
also the undercarriage is too low and will scrape

[180sx]

ok i know what your talking about now. yeh it scrapes a bit, when i get the gc's i wont have it as low as it is now. and im not too fussed about "suspension travel" atm, after all, its only a street car. thanks for help anyway

I like the stance

how low is that sitting? front and rear?

[bradess]

do your cars scrape much? i lowered my DA and its scraping a fair bit. how much is normal and is there any damage that is being done underneath?

[Samm928]

i can feel the cat converter on my ass when im driving so when i go over a speed hump example i can feel the full exhaust hit my seats. =/ aND! mine is only 2" drop with 15" wheels that are 195/55 =P

[FR33K]
