and it looks great..bumps are not ur main problem..when i have my lowered honda it was more about pot holes..weird man hole covers and rough road..hated it

The roads do **** *** here. but they recently had a big donation for free college education to anyone who graduates in our town, so they have been doing road work, street signs, new buildings, red lights. Basically the whole town either has, or is getting a facelift.

I just went and measured everything...

Front Driver 22" 1/4

Front Pass 22"

Rear Driver 22 3/4

Rear Pass 22 3/4

So the front driver needs to come down 1/4, and both rears need to come down 3/4 That will make it an even 22" from the ground to the top of the fender wells at all 4 corners.

5" off the ground at the highest point, and i didn't measure the lowest.

I am doing black headlights, smoking the tails, new mirrors and removing the pinstripe. I do believe i will be done after that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you put a camber kit on it?

if so must need an alignment, as the front tires look toed inward.

Looks awesome though man. Very nice job.

before you go and mod that 1/4 gap think about when you sit in the car..

your weight will balance it out.

Thanks guys. I said i was going to drop the rear today, but i may not. Car beat my *** yesterday. I can work on the front fenders without removing the tires, so i will do that so i can turn. If i can roll the rears without removing the tires, i will. I can drop it witout removing the wheels b/c of the gap in my spokes. Also, i will have some better pics up this afternoon! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

coils as in springs or as in short for coilovers?

good coilovers (new shocks/threaded body) or just sleeves?
