Looks good. Lowered 3g's look so much better. What struts are you using in the back?
No projects. Life consumes my time and money.
probably tokicos.
looking good.
Thanks Steve. I'm just running on stock shocks in the rear.. . I'm going to wait till they blow. I know what I have to do to get that back stut out now. The bottom bolt doesn't come out, looks like I will cut it & have new bushing pressed in. I want to get some sway bar bushings too, kind of pink looking...Originally Posted by SteveDX89

coupe's look so sexxy slammed. i've noticed that the back end usually tends to be lower then the front.

'Tis an illusion. At least on my car. If you look along the bottom under the door, it's level with the ground. I think it might be a tad higher in the back. The rear wheel wells aren't cut as high as the fronts.Originally Posted by NXRacer

slammed is good man.
now gotta do something about those eyelids
hey do the JIMS 1/2 in front drop. I need to do it on my coupe. Ive got konis on all 4 on sprints with the addcos and dc front brace. Thing rides on rails but needs the a little less fender gap in front. Mike
Thanks for all the comments. Couple of the pics are little distorted cause I was in a hurry & didn't have the camera on the right setting.
Not sure what you mean?Originally Posted by mykwikcoupe

Thanks bud. Ha ha, lowered expectations.. Wish the cost was lower to be dropped. "You got to break bread if ya wanna be slammed"Originally Posted by 3gn86lxi
Here is some things I want to say to people that might want to lower there car. The rear (stock) spring doesn't have much pressure on it. I had to take it loose from the top to get the spring off cause the bolt on the bottom doesn't come out. It most likely is froze up. The bolt on the bottom of the strut assembly on the front didn't come off. I had to knock the strut out from the bottom on one side. Another words, give yourself plenty of time for setbacks. Make sure you get all the bushings on the top of the strut right.
Thanks, them the lude arms I bought from you back when Mody Dick was a minnow.Originally Posted by Low Tek

Currently driving a 95 LS soon to be turbo integra.
I don't know. It seems like my rear is actually lower than my front, not by much ,but when I bottom out its always in the rear and never in the front.
Did you use an air gun on the lower one in the rear? I did and it came right out. The front ones, however, never came out. I had to have someone step on the lower arm to push it down the whole way and then rotated the top of the strut out toward the outside of the car. Was a bitch but it worked. Only took me 14 total hours to lower mine.Originally Posted by ddude2uc

I used air tools on everything. 1/2" Impact did break it loose, but the bolt won't slide out the bushing. Will have to cut that bolt when I put new struts in the back. Here is all my problems I had.Originally Posted by SteveDX89
1. Back bottom bolts on rear strut didn't come out. Took spring out the top.
2. Bolt on bottom of one side of front fork didn't come out. Took out from top.
3. Bolt on top of one front strut didn't come off. Had to cut the nut off even at the top.
4. Instructions with Koni struts suck. Had to pull the front struts back out & put old bushings in.
5. Still have to get longer bolts for the back & do washer trick for camber.
6. Needs alighment next.
Took about 7-8 hours so far.

I'm going to be putting my Konis in as soon as my springs arrive, can you give any more details on which bushings you need to put back in? And that white plastic washer that comes with the Konis.... I'm not clear on where that goes.
Nice drop, btw.
edit: nvm, I see the corresponding thread in suspension section

Perfection is simply a matter of replacing parts.
I'm cutting my spare wishbones today 1/2 lower in the front is nice. I have Tokico Struts and Tokico Springs. I'm finally going to get to put them on too. Suspension and Steering class yo! My instructor recommended that we check our own cars. And since my springs are sagging on one side it will be my excuse to throw on my struts and new springs. I wont have it slammed but it should take up most of the wheel gap with my 17's installed. It will be 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear.
The drop looks good, keep up the progress.
Yeah, it took me a long time before I put my springs on. I had some riff raff about buying some Tokicos on here. Anyhow, I didn't know about cutting the forks, I would like another 1/2" off the front. It took a smart remark on here to get my buttons pushed to drop my stuff in. (holding out for long time for some Tokicos)Originally Posted by Mike's89AccordLX
I hope I gave some insight on some problems that you can have with doing it. Good luck to everyone & have air tools to make it quicker.

my rear lower shock bushings are seized on as well, i still need to lower the back of my car..(and cut the forks because my h&r's aren't low enough up front)Originally Posted by ddude2uc
anyone know if you can get these bushings seperately through the dealers?
