My integra - Toronto Integras

aryan · 03-11-2009, 09:21 PM

here is my first mod. got the coilovers today,they were sitting there in the room when my buddy showed up and got his hands on 'em. we tried putting them and came up with this. we intended to lower it about 2" but end up going 3" instead. we only lowered the front end only rear end needs a new lower control arm bushing has seized there.

here is a thing though not sure if it matters: the right front system is not same height as left side the difference is 0.2 or 0.3". the differences is little that it can only felt with touching.

is that a good height between?

lol ya those bushings always sieze to the lca bolts your lucky to get 3 out of 6 off. You should look into buying some lighter lower controll arrms depending on how many bushings you are replacing it might be cheaper ti grab a set of BLOX or another manufactures lca with brand new busings in them ready to go.

hey man if you plan on keeping your car the same height get it corner balanced at an alignment shop...that will at least let you know ur car is even in terms of ride height. If you don't plan on keeping the same height make sure you get an alignment after each adjustment otherwise your tires will be done within a season.

the thing currently only front shocks have been replaced and lowered and the rear is still stock so i guess when i lower the back the front would raise a bit automatically cuz currently all the load from the back is pushed to the front cuz shocks at the rear are higher than in fronts. anyhow i am gonna lower the back too and see if i need to raise the front currently its 3" off the ground so i am hoping it will at least raise half or an inch more off the ground anyways i'll keep all u guys updated and put pics as i am doing stuff..
