just installed coilover on my da , just wondering what's your DA height , pics will be awesome

this was mine!

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.
Will take pics when the car gets back from the shop
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 ...
ummmmm... which maccas.... they're not all the same...........
this is on mine on 16s front still has to go bit more tho

your rear is definately lower then stock...
just with your front wheel though.. is it just me or does it seem pushed back ??
it does look pushed back...or maybe the wheels is slightly turned...
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
try adjusting your radius rods.. looks like too much caster :thumbsup: or the arm could be bent
someone must of hit a curb pretty hard for that to happen i think...
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
lol, i saw your da over 1000 times man haha , u need to lower it for sure :pQuote:

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,I love what you've done with your car mate.Keep it up ;)[/QUOTE]
Was that sarcasm? im confused:confused:
Garf: i also got one discoloured panel. im gunna try colour code it myself though
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
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.
PICs !!! :pQuote:

:wave: heres mine
i like the stance... back may need a touch more to even it out..
I never thought a maroon car would looks good with white rims, I consider myself proven wrong
well its actually red but white can look good on maroon too =p
the rear sits lower now cos the springs have settled but i left abit of a gap there cos i usualy have full carloads and sometimes a full boot lol. i didnt want to scrubbing issuesQuote:

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
http://www.hondahookup.com/gallery/f...000498edit.JPG
^^^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
Nope not me :) I'm on the southside.
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.
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.
that it is.Quote:

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.Quote:

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
i dun think he ment 2 diss our cars bro.Quote:

its like when sum1 says "nice car man, u dun c many of those around" its a complement.
hes just generalising... chill dude
same height but i have new wheels now =]
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...r/_DSC0004.jpg
cold fusion shes a girl lol
and secondly i dont think shes referring to the cars on the forum.. i think its more like in general you dont see much nice DA's anywhere..
LOL nice plates, too bad there on the wrong car "EKVTIR".
here's mine one ..... stormtrooper
JDM+AUDM headlight lol
Not enough turbos in this thread :D
I'd post pics of my car but my paint job would make you all cry. Off to bunnings tomorrow to find some paint LOLZ!
Look forward to it mate.Try the hondatech roller paintjob if you dare.Quote:

OMFG!!! Chill people, chill.
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.
EKVTIR-T, you're a smartass :p

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.
