riding dumped

RonsFG1 · 03-13-2008, 01:19 AM

does anybody in here have their cars dumped? maybe it too early to asked since there not alot aftermarket parts for this car yet

GALAXY~SI · 03-13-2008, 01:22 AM

some people have there car lowered really low...like the lowest setting on there coils

its been like 3 years since the cars out there is a decent amount of stuff you can buy

RonsFG1 · 03-13-2008, 01:27 AM

my car is at 2.5 all around with the skunk 2 springs. i was just wondering can we really lower it more? i dont think we could or we throw off the suspension geometry bad.

***jrotax101*** · 03-13-2008, 01:29 AM

my skunk2 coilovers will go lower than that..

the fronts will go over an inch lower, and the back's around an inch..
but what's the point??

the buddyclub n+ coils go pretty low too - "Ridge" Racer has them on his fg2 and he's "dumped" as you referred to :)

fg21221 · 03-13-2008, 01:41 AM

im pritty dumped i can prolly go another 1/4 inch all around if that and ill be rubbing bad as i sit right now i dont rub at all id say 2.2 front 2 rear might be lower i no i have a 3.5 to 4'' drop on my coilovers...but i like it the way it is any lower ull mess up the suspension geometry really bad and it will rub and its just ruining ur car any lower

thats the perfect height i like! i got like a barely a finger gap all around, but want to go lower just like your drop. what coilover are you on?

friedk · 03-13-2008, 03:36 AM

A 2" drop is already messing up the suspension geometry.

Renegade_978 · 03-13-2008, 09:54 AM

my car was dumped! but i couldnt make any turns and it was rubbin so i had to raise the front!riding on tein flex i have to find away to adjust the front camber ...

NcSi · 03-13-2008, 09:57 AM

when i had the buddyclubs. I wanted to see how low it could go and trust me my car was almost sitting on the ground.

Civic06SiR · 03-13-2008, 11:00 AM

I have tein s tech and when I ride my 18" I can feel them rub when I hit a small bump or a pot hole.

Front

Whole car

Rear

RonsFG1 · 03-13-2008, 11:10 AM

so most of you guys are running tein flex?

***pgFA*** · 03-13-2008, 12:48 PM

There's a wide variation of coilovers that people here are using. Tien, Skunk2, Buddyclub. Its pretty much even spread for now. Majority of the members here is just using Lowering springs and that too has a wide variation of users.

CivicSi907 · 03-13-2008, 02:35 PM

Still waiting for KONI coilovers!

RonsFG1 · 03-13-2008, 06:37 PM

umm, i like a drop that has no gap at all

***pgFA*** · 03-13-2008, 07:07 PM

No gap = Most coilovers, Skunk2 springs, Tein S Tech, Eibach Sportsline, Neuspeed.

***"Ridge"Racer*** · 03-13-2008, 08:07 PM

i could go lower i think, bc coilovers

***ryryninja*** · 03-13-2008, 08:15 PM

ksport pro control coilover dampers

JeShUa · 03-14-2008, 03:22 AM

2" isn't dumped. And the guy who says he's 3.5 - 4, I doubt its that much.

friedk · 03-14-2008, 10:44 AM

Honestly, the only people I've seen really close to "dumped" are ridge racer and fg####.

Unless you're 1-2" from the ground I don't think you can really call yourself dumped..not that that's really a bad thing.. Destroying suspension geometry hurts handling instead of helping.
