i had my civic hatch pretty dam low last year and never got stuck once. also i snowboard 30 days a season and made it up every ski hill nearby with out a problem.

lol i see these idiots try all the time, little do they know in the S2000, the rear top blocks out 99% of light, then my asian mod broadway rearview with tint owns it. And i have spoon blue tinted sides :D

Nope, i love my car lowered. If i had it my way, i'd lower it some more.

Not worried about being blinded since i got tinted windows and auto-tint rear mirror.

You get use to it. If i wanted a smooth tall ride. I would drive my dad's Van.

thanks!

I'm looking for a 1.5" - 2" drop on my CRX

The only time I regretted lowering a car, was when I did it without using the proper struts for a lowered application. I re-used my stock struts with a set of Eibach Sportlines on a Crapalier...

I drove across the country with it like that... some dumb guy in a Civic said "yeah, I cut my springs too and it bounces all over like that!"... sigh... wasn't cut springs...

Soon as I got home, I ordered a set of Koni struts... rode nice after that.

I regret it when my exhaust makes this gut wrenching noise when I go over a bump.

trust me, its worse.
i used to have a lowered rsx and had trucks tailgating me like crazy. he would just keep following me instead of passing by. i have no idea why he keep harassing me but it was annoying for sure thats why i hate truck drivers.
ive had this happened numerous times and i hadnt done anything wrong =\

sorry for double post.

the black smoke from diesels is better then the smoke from gasoline engines

Also I don't think theres a law on ride height in terms of going up. My freind got pulled over once and was told to put mud flaps on lol.

Are you sure you've done nothing wrong?

When it always seems that sometimes it you against the world maybe the problem isn't the world. ;)

so mud flaps are required if your truck is fairly jacked up?

maybe "objects in the rearview mirror may not be as close as it seems" .. thats why u always thinks people are tail gating u,

How close does one have to be from another to qualify as tailgating?

Lowered or not there will always be assholes that will blind the shit out of you

I'm at pretty much stock height (give or take less than an inch due to spring sag), but depending on how quickly or slowly I go over a speed bump, I hear a scrape that's either my exhaust or my front mudflap.

But I want to go lower because stock height is kinda lame (and if I get wheels, stock height is I'm assuming a fail).

Yep, same problem here...scrapes everytime I leave or enter my parkade.

After lowering my mk2 jetta 3" on coilovers and driving around in Calgary (if you think the roads are bad here, think again) and I loved every minute of it. Especially 3 wheeling out of the particularly bad parking lots.

yeah but it's just more.......frequent if it's lowered.

I wish I can go even lower if not for all those stupid ramps and speedbumps.

i'm lowered and have this problem as well! however it really depends what's the situation

usually i'd just lower my head a bit and problem solved, but if they keep tailgating and blinding me, i'd just give it a bit more and more gas and other driver usually changes lanes and floors it past me. then i just hope he gets pulled over while i reduce back to usual speed :)

imo, it's stupid and pointless to brake hard to scare the tailgater...
they drive a truck, you drive a lowered car, you're most likely gonna get more damage than the truck. and that's just more hassle from you.
i had a friend who was stupid enough to do that when a F-150 was tailgating him with HIDs, my friend got rear ended while the truck had nothing but a few scratches and scuffs. took alot of time off his hands dealing with that. ok the truck driver had to pay, but was it worth it? hell no.

i think the idea of tilting your rear mirror upwards to blind the truck driver is pretty good, but then again, he might get pissed off and do something you'll end up regretting.

sometimes on lifted trucks with mudders they stick out too much, so an easy fix legalize it is to put mud flaps on.


i wish i could lower it more, but after 2 flex pipes on my car in the last 3 months, i think not!

No regrets though, i do want some konis though

You guys talk about scraping... Check out my car next time you see it.

do this~


they wanna shoot hids your cabin, shine some light into theirs

Were those in the reverse lights?
I'd also go lower if the roads here werent so damn bumpy

yah hid reverse lights lol

and I wish I could go lower... but already on the lowest settings on the tein ss :(

want to go LOWER!

There's a fine low between low, and TOO low:D
