how low can i go

[Miataracer]

this is true... i have never ridden in anything with bags but i imagine the ride quality is pretty decent.

[Jetts]

aslong as you got shocks it should be nice
now without shocks its bouncy, but what car isnt without shocks?

[Miataracer]

lol... that just made me think of the crappy ass car on the movie uncle buck

[Jetts]

I don't see how a car lowerd 2 inches can ride well. Maybe it rides well in a straight line, but you better have one hell of a suspension set up to do any kind of heavy cornering. I've also heard anything more than 1.75 inch drop and you need a camber kit. As for the lowered Izusu, I'll take that thing on through a slalom and own it any day, and I've only got a 1 inch drop. It's all about the entire set up, not just the height.

The thought that ANY kind of lowering 2" will make a car drive poor is wrong. Yes, a poor lowering job,like mismatched springs and shocks, the use of "sleeve style (like Skunk2) coil-overs," etc will make it ride and handle like crap. If done right however, with proper componets like a good set of Tein coilovers or H & R coilovers (true threadded shock bodycoilovers, not the crappy sleeve style like skunk2) it can handle very well. With the Teni type-flex, for example, for a 92-95 civic, the drop can be 2.24" all around and still keep full suspension travel. Howver, the shocks and springs are much much stiffer, than stock. Sure, it's a more "jarring" ride, more stiff. But thats exactly why it handles better. This stiffrer suspension thats tuned right will result in less body roll, among other things. Less comfortabler for grandma? Sure, but it WILL handle and corner better. If you go further and have corner weighting done, you can furhter improve the weight transfer/distribution over the shocks to further improve handling and cornering. Now yes, you'll need a camber kit if you like your tires to not wear out extemrely quick. In general, anything over 1.75" will need it, I've seen some 1.5" drops need it. If you arn't sure if you need it, when you get your car algined after it's lowered, if the camber is too far out of spec, you'll need an adjustable camber kit.

If you want more on this, ask SilverY2KCivic or jackasssi. They know their suspensions very well, and I'm sure they'd be glad to answer questions.

If you insist on lying, at least try and keep your lies straight and believable.

I know this thread hasn't recieved a response in 10 days since my post here, but seeing as this comment above was aimed at me, I felt I'd respond a bit...

First off, how long has he been in the hospital?? Come on...I mean jeez, I posted that comment over a month ago, then over 1 month later you come on and say that? I posted that RIGHT after he posted...and never heard a response back. He suddenly disappeared from the board and now a MONTH LATER you post this junk?

Secondly, lil bro or not, Bullsh*t is bullsh*t and a lie is a lie. His stories where way put there. Plane and simple. Tell bullsh*t in here, someones gonna call you on it. If you don't want people calling the BS, then don't start it. Whether you think his car was fast or not, his storys where WAAYY out there. He bragged no stop, supposedly knows all this junk, then can't figure out if 2" is too low? I mean, come on....please.

Finally, based on what he was saying an how he was bragging before the "accident," sad to say I can't say I'm suporsed to here he got into one. He had that attuitude, brag, I'm all bad, my cars bad, I'm fast and know it all...oh yeah, how do I lower it...

I mean come on. If he wants respect, just be honest. If it's stock, thats ok..modded, fine. But don't brag and act like all this hot shit, you'll get called in here EVERY time.

And next time you want to start beef over OLD COMMENTS, try and say something before over a MONTH later. You had pleny of time to get pissy and post earlier.

and finally...

Since I gather you didn't seem to pay much attention to my sound advice you quoted, I think I'll re-post the advice...remember...and pay attention to te last comment there...
