Have any of you guys had an abs lip break like completely off of the car while driving? lol
What do you do? Just run it over and keep on going?

Mine broke in half going down a steep ass driveway a couple years ago. I heard it scrape but it wasn't too loud and I didn't think too much of it. So right after I pulled out the driveway, I just heard something dragging and pulled over. Turns out, it basically snapped off and I probably ran it over too while pulling out. Half the lip was under the front of the car and the other half was stuck in the middle of the car haha. This happened on a busy street too. Ah, good times.

I'm about an inch lower now and my poly lip takes a beating, but it's taking it like a champ.

Thanks!
Rocking the Si wheels eh? Arent those 2011 Si wheels are similar to the 8Gen Accord wheels??
I am also a college student, so yeah its tough.


Never happen before but +1 for the "Run over and keep on going"

This is my friend's car with his stock wheels:

As soon as he buys new wheels and gets his drop, I'm thinking about buying his oem wheels. They should look good on my car.

Going to have to assume that it's because of where you live why you can't lower it more.

Stance is good, but it still looks high, IMO.

Those Civic wheels will need some spacers unless you want to rock it like "Mr. Purple Power" and not bother with them.

Yeah the roads here are pretty rough. I'm not even that low, and I've scraped bad twice already. haha The people here don't know how the fuck to pave a road.
I can't really "slam" it where I live unless I want to buy a new oil pan every week.
I live in Alabama, and I drive around 80 miles a day during weekdays, so yeah, too many obstacles I have to face every day. lol
I might go a little lower once I get those new wheels, but i'm content for now.

I was planning on spacers. I can't stand the sunken look.


....Mr. Purple Power.

You have to be able to drive it, so, however low you are willing/able to go, is all that matters.

 

[Bax]

New pics.

Also, is there anything I can do about my cat being the lowest part of the car? Or do I just have to accept that. It scrapes more than anything.

 

[LeBirdNest]

looks good man.

 

[LowerMyCG5]

you have to accept it. my heatsheild broke and its less than half an inch off the ground. next month when i start driving i dont expect it to be around any longer lol. drop looks uch better. do your UCAs bang?

 

[Narftastic]

Looks better, and damn when you get a lip its gonna look even better.

Also you have to accept the fact that out frames are lower so your always gonna scrape that before your lip unless you going up(or down) a driveway ramp....ect

 

[J30MAN]

Honestly IMO it looked better when you first dropped it.
