Hey guys im looking at buying 1 1/2 inch lowering springs for my ek. I have 17's on atm and was wondering if anyone has any pics of there cars with 17's and lowered with 1 1/2 springs? Is it low enough to fill the gaurd?
And will my tire rub around corners, i was told no but just making sure.

Well i got a ek lowered 3" at the back and 2 1/2" at the front looks pretty low but i still want lower..
The front rubs if u take corners really hard and if u take corners hard and there are bumps in the road..
But neva rubs in straight line even when the car is full..
Ill try get photo
My EK 3" at back and front with 19" looks low, but i have to cut out bit of the front plastic splash guard. no rubbing on straight line either or with passengers.
So will 1 1/2 look too high still?
Any pics ppl wanna share with me?
i made this mistake.. i thought 1.5 inches front and back was going to be low enuf for me.. but 1 week later i ordered some springs 3.5 inch drop on back and 3 inch drop on front..
if you lower your car by 1.5 inches your wheel arch will still be over your tyre.. maybe 1 finger over. it will not tuck your tyre. depends how you like ti i guess.. if you look at this months calender.. that car has been lowered 3" on the front i believe with koni yellow on lowest perch... so up to you :)
This months calender?
I would buy adjustable coilovers.I wish I did that first.
I'm gonna get one of these 2:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...spagenameZWD1V 0-4 inch height adjustable $790 US inc. shipping.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...spagenameZWD1V 0-4 inch height adjustable + 4 way adjustable damping shocks/struts $925 US inc. shipping.
There's just one thing,could someone please explain to me what exactly adjusting the damper is :)
beeza u thread stealer :p i dont have the money for those :/
Anypics anyone?
damper = how stiff u want to make your ride
i dropped my car 3 inches but it was an eg lemme know if u still want to see it =]
Haha,Gio :) but I was the same man,I didn't have the money...I ended up spending $700 on king lows with the stock struts and it's just no good,I mean the shocks have 100,000km's on them.If your's have done near that I would change them too.If that's the case you will spend the same amount on the coilovers.It's worth waiting/saving and getting the right thing first.
Thanks for that rayb3na!
from what i can see from everyones posts, i'm guessing 1 and a half inch wouldn't rub at all. i too am considering to lower the car by just 1-2 inches... (my driveways gutter is a b*tch to get up and down)
a couple wks ago i was checking out a sellers lowering springs.. said he lowered it by 3 inches, heres the pics he showed me: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58161
