SORRY FOR THE REPOST, I have this in Technical as well... forgot all about this forum
Ok, so if someone says to you "The mounting points for the suspension are starting to weaken ~ and if you hit a severse bump there is risk of the suspension failing" what does that mean to you? If I recall Hondas (hahaha I may be wrong) but their suspension bits mounts INTO the wheel wells yes? So if these parts were starting to get a little rusty... would it be hard to just cut the wheel wells out ~ use them as a "mold" ~ bang out some new metal and reweld back in place... will this solve the problem? The car we are talking about is an 88 civic for the record.
Also as a side note, I was thinking about going hydro or air bag suspension ~ no not to bounce around like the mexicans, (not to be racist...) but in my partment complex to get in or out there is a HUGE rain gutter and I know even with probably JUST a kit, I might scrape, let alone with a 3" drop... so I was looking to get it so I could raise the car up over this and other obstacles (speed bumps) and keep the car in as prestine condition as possible Ok, so the question, since im replacing the wheel wells... should I go ahead and maybe make them a little bigger to fit the parts in? I hear hondas dont have all that much room up front (except for the gay piston style air suspension up front) I want real bags, or hydros... bags is prefered since I live in NY (cold weather... figured it cant be too well for a liquid... hehehe) So im gonna stop rambling, but guys please answer ASAP! Thanks...
