soo.. we talkin bout dropin yuh car.. (pics)

[horsepwrjunki]

well u know they give u the drop in mm or inches but just how do u know what that means.....


let me show u...



this was the height of my stock c62a lancer on 13 " wheels and 185 65 tires.. as of january , 2005


hlf way through the year i bought brand new b+G drop springs.. 40mm drop they said.. so how do i knwo how much that will translate to in my car..?

well here are the springs side by side...




which resulted in a final stance on 13" wheels with 205 60 tires








need less to say that living in a area notorious for its humps, this was not the brighttest idea i have had.. but just rocking the car side to side i can tell u the additional stiff ness from just changing she springs.. ( EVERY thing else is stock ) this si goin to be worth it.. i'll update when i get a chance to wuk dem good an proper...

[cdx2k1]

How much the springs cost?How does the ride feel now?Worse in terms of comfort but better in terms of performance?

[horsepwrjunki]

u aint realise the power of mitsu in that shot boi allan..

evo 7, c62a ,cb libero.. cars 1.2& 3 of the day.. lol

[Aaron 2NR]

horsepwrjunki, but wont u see the bigger drop on smaller rims? since on larger rims the cars are usually raised?

[horsepwrjunki]

ahmm yeah.. but the two pics the car is on the exact same size rims.. so what u are infact suposed to look at is not infact the final hieght of the car off the ground but the reduction in space between the bottom of the fender and the top of the tire..

the tires that are on the car now are the only diffrence.. but the diff between the 195/65 and the 205 60 is not really all that much in terms of final hieght.. that is why i used those two pics.. if it woudl please u i would psot pics of the car when it had the 15" ers on it an was so high i coul dget under the car with out jackin it up...

[Aaron 2NR]

reduction in space between the bottom of the fender and the top of the tire..

yeah thats the best way to look at it...but alot of ppl look at the final height an wud compare like ah car on 17s to one on 15s....but looks good man...

[horsepwrjunki]

yea well thats whyi used the pic with the same rims... i lookin for soem 15's/ 16's in de new year so i will go back up to a decent hieght.. right now.. is de misuss civic hadda use to go msot places..

[Aaron 2NR]

^lols i cud imagine dred..cuz mih bro usin the b&g on his car wit 17s an it does rel touch still...

[horsepwrjunki]

akkk.. doh say dat.. lol.. welli drove kes vtec and max crix cars an they had b+g's and i liekd the way both cars rode on the 15".. now if i could convince sr18 primera to sell me back my rims.. ...... ne way when i get the pothole issuse sorted out i go take the car for a spin an tell allyuh wha ti feels liek on ded shocks..lol..

[Aaron 2NR]

nah well he still has to change the back shock but the ride rel good compared to stock springs though...

removed to balance the vtec switch on te other side of the car.

[smokey1275]

lololololol0l;ololololololololololololololol

[horsepwrjunki]

CLERIQ, why does that concern u so much?

i took it off b/c im trying to find replacement clips ..b/c there were a few that are broken.. in fact in the first pit i put it on for the shoot an took it back off.. b/c the wind at speed pulls it off.. does that satisfy ur quriosity?

[horsepwrjunki]

removed to balance the vtec switch on te other side of the car.

Go in the bamboo and if you see a door like yours, offer them men some change for the clips or the strip. But yuh have to act like yuh doh need it.
