How LOW can you go??? Practicability of lowering

[joey99]

1.5 is just nice ... about the height of a DCtypeR isn't it ? I never had any problems with that. going too low is just dumb and uncomfortable. I've seen those guys doing the zig-zag at 3-4km/h in shopping centers and over speed humps and you just say they're stupid. I've even seen guys that can't even get into their own driveways at home and have to park across the road on the street. I've had low cars before and sydney streets just rip out front lips and scratch the hell out of them.

as CB7_OWNER suggested, just zig-zag when you approach a speed hump/drive way gutter.

my front lip is about 10cms off the floor, and my car is lowered lowered, havent hit or scraped the front lip in months. the only thing u should be worried about is the muffler pipping hah

thats cos you have a baller front lip! ahaha its gg if u scrape i would cry! lol

[rawr]

muffler piping is the worst. I used to cry every night but you get used to it

If you know how to drive you can take care of your lips just fine

My cusco front lower bar sits 2.5 inches off the floor, it's finnneee...

Lower it manggg.

1.5 finger wheel from guard is practically.. lol.. In fact, JDM laws will allow that at max.. JDM=0.5 finger.. lol..

anyway, mugen lip with 1.5 finger spacing will clear most bumps and go through bumps zig zag and rmb to slow down to avoid excessive bouncing that causes front to compress springs lower.. I used to roll on 17"s and mugen lip onli with 0.75 finger all round.. clear almost everything except the obvious huge bumps...basically jus try to avoid those bumps.. i am sure u can.. such as finding lvl parking around UNI, shopping centre.. and lastly, for ur driveway measure the height required to clear it..

Also get coilovers will be better.. if not, at least save for some koni yellow adjustable shocks to match kings for more adjustability if u wan more fun..

depending on where you live, it may or may not be a pain
sydney roads, forget it

strangely enough i'd scrape my header on uneven roads with 195/50/15 but with 205/50/15 or even 195/55/15 it'd raise the front 5mm and 10mm respectively and it'd stop scraping the road

to keep some practicality though don't go more than 2inches and it should be right for most roads

[traumatized]

just remember that if you are going to purchase a set of king springs that they still sag more. so there standard 35mm drop, will coem close to a 2" drop over time.

my DA was lowered 3 all around... f*cking nuissance man, especially at UWS where all the noob bumps ruin your car... raised it 1.5inchs and its all good now...

[AKILYA666]

driving a lowered car is like making love to a women, if ya get ya angles right both you and her will be happy......

2'- 2.5' lowered ftw

[pchio]

i had all wheels under the gaurds and i travel fine all around sydney. Just gotta learn how to take speed humps

[DC4Integra98]

I guess the muffler piping will be more of a problem with a 3 in drop

[beeza]

2 inches sounds like a practical drop for the driveways you are driving on.Anymore and it wil scrape,slightly when you get how to drive up and down them
