Super Sexy Slammed: Helpful Hints/Tips

its a pain, but i lift my front by jacking up the rear with the floor jack high enough to put my stock jack in the front jackicking point under the door, lift the stock jak a bit, drop the rear, and jack up the front.

as for camber wear, as stated above, an alignment is needed every time you change the ride height or camber. did you get the camber kit bolts or the whole upper contron arm with the adjustable ball joint?

i ask because the camber bolts will correct camber but not as much as the adjustable ball joint ones.
if you did get the adjustable ball joint type for a civic, i believe theyre a bit shorter than the integra ones. thus, not being able to correct camber as much.

I have maxed out my rear coilovers and Its still not low enough in my opinion is there any options that I have they are Ksport kontrol pro coilovers. is there any way to go lower without buying a new set up or adding weight to the car?

did you lower the perch as far as it can go?
from my understanding, you can shorten the damper AND lower the perch. be warned!! by lowering the perch and not having preload, you run the risk of blowing your shock.

you have the top collar where the spring sits
then the locking collar for that
and the bottom locking collar for ride height adjustment

but if you have lowered the perch all the way, you could leave the top collar of the perch and remove the other 2 collars and use that collar for keeping the spring seated AND locking the lower part of the damper. youll gain another inch of droppage.

you could take a mallot/hammer to that to bend and flatten it out. thats what i did to mine.

wow this will really save my tires, my right passenger side is getting split in two:cry:

this may be a ridiculous question, but can you roll the fender if there is the typical honda rust on the rear quarter panel?

From what i've seen, you can't. My friend tried to do it any the rust just got worse and started to chip even more.

dont roll the fender just cut the inner piece that your rolling out. thats what most people do at least.

^^ thats what i did with the rear. you get more clearance than just rolling

[ryanDC]

let it sit on jack stands so that your good to go tomorrow lol

how low are you going?

 

[pbteg11]

idk man...it looks like ima be goin reallyyy low because my coilover sleeves look a lotttt shorter than my stock springs...i didnt get to do much today all i did was flatten out that ridge thing in the wheel wells and idk what else to do...im just kinda worried about how small my coilover sleeves are...or are they supposed to be that much shorter?

 

[ixcocoyxi]

the spring is short for a reason. the perch will make up for the height.

for off the shelf coilovers, they sit pretty high even when set to the lowest setting.
