hey people so i finally installed my coil overs, after 4 attempts but kept forgetting to do something....
so here it is, but i was wonder is this is low enough or go lower?...
i am adding a mugen front lip aswell....
is this good height + lip or should i go loweR?...
also considering i'll be putting WW side skirts on aswell....
**the back is raised up on jacks too might make a difference in the drop...**


sorry bad pics lol..taken by my blackberry....
this pic the phone was almost to the ground which makes it seem like its raised..



i think it maybe around 2.5" drop or something....
i am putting 16" rims on when i can find a good pair,

 

put rims before you ask

 

^+1...rims make a big difference in the drop and also the wheel gap depending on the size of tires you use. Also try not to go to low on profile of tires...keep around 45 and up if 16's

 

right now i'm going to be rolling on hubbies...
but i just want to adjust the height now so i won't have to do it later....

 

whatever you drop it to know more than likely you will have to adjust it later.
so just drop it to what you like with your hubs and re-adjust once you get the rims.
from the way its sitting it looks like a 3-5 inches off the ground on the front?. once you drop the back down off the jack front is gona go up some more. it should be pretty decent with the hubs.

just remember gona get a lot of camber with out the kit looks good but expensive to keep replacing tires.

but for 16' rims a 2 1/2 - 3 inch drop with 205/45/16's is very nice. in my opinion

 

i'm also adding a front lip and a WW side skirts kinda like fuzzy's.....
the distance from the tire to my fender is a figure n half...my figure are small too lol si i don't know exactly i'll measure tomorrow...

 

well you will mostlikely have to re adjust once u get the lip on since the lip is probably gona be about 2 inches anyway.

so you still want atleast 2-3 inches of clearance to get over any bumps

 

right now i'll scrape the bump if i do go slow and sideways.....
i can't wait to see how it'll be with a lip haha...and funny thing is there are 2 ways to exit my building and both ways have 2 bumps lol....i'm soo screwed

 

don't forget to get it aligned!!

 

^ +1!! Tuckin tire FTMFW!! so go LOWER!!

 

I think it looks good bro.
When u drop your rims on, it will sit nice.
Otherwise your going to need 2 guys on the car when your going to change a flat with the stock jack.
1 guy to pull up your fender area to make some room for your jack and another one to slide the jack under.
Trust me been there

 

^ you could just drive up on some 2x4's, that's what i do.

that height is fine. you've pretty much killed all the wheel gap. regardless if you get 15's or 16's with the proper size tire, you're wheel gap will pretty much stay the same.

 

You ain't low enough you gotta go "Richie slammed" lowered. But make sure you do an alignment tho or else those tires will be done fast.

 

^^ i want it low as richie but i don't want any driveway accidents, and i did the aliment when i installed them...i'll have to see when i put my 16's on, good thing there adjustable

 

alignment should be based on ride height...toe and camber

trust me get it done its makes a massive difference

I went to can-alignment and they do really good work.

 

i had mine aligned when i got my coils installed. but not when i put rims on...thinkin if i should get one done now or not?

 

it all up to you, if you have extra money around why not,
but i done mine and i don't plan to put on rims right now because i want to wear out my stock hubbie tires out first, get the full use on them...

 

you just have to learn to drive a lowered car, fuzzy drives around slammed and can pretty much go anywhere

 

i dont suggest going lower right now, because winter is right around the corner. If it was me, I wouldnt have put in the coilovers now, because winter and the salt corrodes the perches. If you're gonna keep them on during the winter, go grab some grease, and molest the perches with it.

 

+1 for LOOOOOWEEEERRRRRRR

 

i'm not driving during winter time,
i'm bringing my car out after winter when it's all done!
