Been taking a break from on-line chat. It was becoming too much of a daily routine and I don't want that. Had to prove to myself I could live without it. Seems like no big deal but I hate addictive behavior.

I'm thinking about getting away from the whole modding scene. Too much money. Too much trouble. Poor riding cars....sometimes it doesn't seem worth it just for that look. Dodging potholes, dips and other road imperfections gets annoying after a while. Two weeks ago I rented a car to drive up to Tallahassee. It was so relaxing to drive carefree. A weekend of relaxed driving. I couldn't wait to get back in my car but after a couple days the joy was replaced with the same old careful driving thing.

Anyway, I digress. I was chilling but now I'm back.

^^^ better than my TEIN High tech springs with less than 1 inch drop. The beautiful thing about mine is I have custom spring rates for ammore comfortable ride but since I since I am so low I stiffened the dampening to prevent possibly clipping the front fenders while turning and it still rides great. They are also super easy to adjust height. If your going to lower the car definitely save your money and go with coilovers, or air I prefer coils. you will end up spending the money anyway with more wear and tear on stock shocks, more labor to install cause you actually have to break down the strut to add different springs and then reinstall as opposed to pulling one out in setting the new one in. Id also go with BCracing or Megan, good quality reasonable pricing and they now have a company making the brackets for UAS(universal air suspension). they also go super low, lower than TEIN CST

Looks really clean, Not many guys here have flush set ups...

I am new here and have my very aggressive Rotiforms (20" x 10.5" +6 offset) being made and my Megans in the garage. I know i will have to roll, cut, camber and pull to make them fit.

I guess my question is how much lower can you go? I want a very serious static drop.

Also i know Visors are "JDM VIP" but i don't get it. My father had them back in 84 on his Accord, wasn't JDM back then, just the 80's. I'm all for JDM but kills the lines of a car. I'm sure most people disagree with me...

^^^ I could go lower in the rear if I wanted but I already rub when turning if Im not careful, if you want to roll static where im at is as far is I would push it unless you want to tuck full tire. I prefer having a little tire showing most of the time lol!
10.5 +6 is about 20mm more than me your going to need to shave and pull the fenders.

Did you shave your rears? Are you running a camber kit?

I also plan on running a 235 rear.

Fronts pretty aggressive too, 9.5 + 13 offset...

I will roll as low as i possibly can, is your front maxed or is it because of fender clearance?

My rears are shaved, there is no production camber kit specificially for this car some have used the 2nd gen is ones. the front is aggressive too but not as much as the rear that spec is onty about 1/4 inch more aggressive than mine. I am as low as possible unless I want new fenders in the front.
