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.

yes it is still at stock height.. :(
I remember the white teg, last time I saw it (2+ yrs ago?) it had a shark on the bonnet and was pretty low. It used to be a mates of a mates of a mates a very long time ago when it was still turbo.
Of course, my classy pics that don't really show anything.

any-one got pics of a dc2.. i wana see how low they have gone, how it looks and if they have any dramas with rubbing.. i wana drop the car ofcourse from stock hieght but do not want any rubbage...(repeat) do not want and rubbing!
this is "how low is your DA" not "how low is ur dc"
i think the back is too low i need to fix that somehow
holy shit!what did you do?
what suspension did you fit?
commodore stylez lol
wat do u mean by "commodore stylez"
kmac springs lol
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..
are the larger of the 4 springs meant to go in front or back?
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.
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ht=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
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.
mine use to be like this... i can see the sparks already w00t :wave:Quote:

did u get them custom made or did you buy them second hand ???
i had the same problem with my KMAC springs and i took them back to get them reset (free of charge)

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.

how low should i go lol its almost a crv :P
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?Quote:

Were they for DA integra or EK civic?
Are they the ones for sale from this site?
no they were from an eg/dcQuote:

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
i second that..freeks car was nice
My car currently sits this high.. wasn't too bad until I put the 17's on it..

Can anyone recommend me some good springs to get around a 2 inch drop? I just want a little wheel tuckage.
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.
Already made some centre caps the other day, cars too dirty to take new pics.

Bad pic but you can sorta see (Camera phone pic)
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e6...R/DSC01364.jpg
this is perfect height for me...
the 2 nice black tegs of melbourne:)
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..
i m on coilovers man...so its adjustable height
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
sml-089 how much travel do you have in the rear with that height?
The distance between free standing height and bottoming out.
:s ive never bottomed out. as i said, i have koni yellow and set them stiff, and the springs themselves are rather stiff
Reason I ask is I was at that height recently and looking at the shock and spring it is almost bottoming out.
npe. thanks for concern lol
You obviously don't understand what I'm getting at lol
Thx for being a smartass ;)
wasnt trying to be a smartass. explain yourself more plz, i mustve misunderstood u
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.
i think its 16"....
yeh they are 16s. front is 2-3 fingers, rear is negative 1 finger id say
clint u needa get coilovers man...just getting springs won't achieve wot u want..u should know that! hahahQuote:

dont have any recent photos sorry fellas.=/ its 2" drop so altogether 2.25" with sagging :)
haha king lows on da9s arent even noticeable.. i just have a thing for cars dumpeddd I think :D
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
Not bad not bad, what rear lip is that?Quote:

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 anywayQuote:
