But if you hadn't broken that oil pan you'd be up $xxx. And everything from here on out. Your car already costs money to maintain. Slamming it only puts more wear, pressure, and damage on things. More things will break and more often.
I'm not ready to pay and IDK that I ever will be, lol. Companies that loser cars from the factory do so with performance in mind or because said car is a tried-and-true performance machine.I regret driving a slammed car. However, I did it cuz I just went with the flow. Function > Form. Lowered Accords do look nice but they come with a price to pay. Are you ready to pay? lol
I do like the cars that come lowered from factory. Functional and still fun to drive. The R&D engineers made sure the ride is still practical enough while having less or no wheel gap.
Cars are meant to be driven, not to slow down at random stuff. I guess at one stage it looked cool but I think I am over it. That's my opinion though
That's I feel. If you can't make it fast, make it look good. Low looks good but I think fads and the car communities have taken it to a new....low.I don't think slammage is really for function, it really doesn't make the car do anything better (drag coefficient...no). Better handling results from lowering the car on stiffer suspension, but not slamming it. Seems to me the main reason people slam is for looks, because it usually does look good. And I think this holds water because a lot of 6GA owners who don't go to big lengths to make their car faster acknowledge the fact these cars are slow, and just decide to at least make it look good.
That said, slamming is purely a motive for form. It can look good if done right, but that's about it. My opinion.
On my topic of being low, I think your car looked great when dropped. It was low but you weren't tucking tire.Had to put my oem springs back on.
Why? Because of this!!! Tanabe NF210
That's my plan. RedRyder and a few others are looking into a GC/Koni combination that will give a subtle, sporty drop.Hmmm .. Mikey, why don't you try out some lowering springs first ? I'm sure you would've thought about it .. With the mild drop of about 1.5-2 inches they give, that gives about 1-2 finger gap all around on my car.. Drive around and see how you cope with that height with the roads you typically drive on . If your car can deal with being mildly dropped without scraping your bumper too much, make you slow down to a crawl over speed humps or driveways then I guess you would feel more comfortable going for a little extra drop on coilovers later on .. But this time around now you would be prepared with the senses of how low you are and are able to be wary of how you drive and what changes needs to be done to get over .. Or around certain obstacles

I haven't seen every setup on the board but this is what I'd call the perfect height....
I took a picture for 6ga. Havent done that in ages.

Sounds good
That height is very similar to mine on eibach pro kit springs .. except his front is lower and he has a lip kit that makes it look even lower.
