Is your lowered car's front end to high? Here's a fix to drop the front 1/2"

[itzdave]

ooh i kinda like the sound of this, i think ill give it a try when i do my new front end when i go back home!
why would you not use the bolt?

[codyJDM]

not yet, I dont drive the 3G that much it sits in the garage most of the time so hopefully on my day off I'll snap some pics.

Pfft you dont need to drive it to take pictures of it

I see why you put that disclaimer up..put the damn bolt back in! lol

Function>form keep that bolt in there fellas. The weight does keep the strut in the sleeve but put the bolt back in there! I wouldnt run it without the bolt.

I felt uneasy about driving without the bolt in so I put it back in tonight

Since the strut gets fatter the bolt was hitting the strut and not allowing it go it correctly. so I jacked the car back up till the strut backed out of the pinch fork, screwd the bolt in, set the car back down and tightend it on the ground.

I dont know if you can tell the difference in this before and after pic. but it is only 1/2 which is just fine for me.

The car still rides the same and it does sit even with the rear.

very nice pico...now we are twins

Jesus christ I love your car pico. So clean.

Looks like it did the trick, not too intense but really makes a difference. I will definitely be doing this for my car.

Great mod. Thanks for the pics.

I feel your pain, I slipped my back out of whack saturday doing a volunteer ramp build for people who need a ramp but can't afford to have one put in.

Thanks Phil if this thread wasnt brought back to life I never would of went ahead with the mod.
And my wrist is killing me again today, I have to learn to ice my wrist when ever I do work on the car

[codyJDM]

That really sucks Pico, I know how you feel. I have arthritis in both my wrists and random other irritating places. The day after anytime I work on my car I pretty much feel like I'm gonna blow up. No fun at all.

Instead of cutting the fork, you can also modify the strut itself.

I cannot vouch for the clearance on Accords, but on my Prelude, the addition of a large O-ring above the conduit union brought it to the perfect height for clearance.
