my before and after

[protege5407]

now this is just wat i have done so far to the car i havent done much to it. still a lot of work.

boss 7 inch head unit
alpine type r subs
17 msr wheels
dropped on its balls.... ghetto style for now.... cut stock springs(i kw people say its stupid its just a temp thing i just wanted to see how low i should go)
painted rub stripes black to match the wheels(actually thinking of removing all together.)

now everyone has their opinion help me some i want more ideas as to wat i should do next to the car.


thinking of putting a full suspension on it dont know yet might just leave it with cut springs for a while.

Looks good man nice car

My car is slammed on BC racing coilovers and the ride is great ... (dunno)

22V FTW! Looks good man, I actually really like the side molding painted black like that. I just might steal that idea for mine.

 

[jdmdikk]

looks nice bro..how much did u cut from each spring? does the spring move around or stay still?

 

[Justin2129]

That's a very well thought out and intelligent comment. It obviously comes from experience. (blah)

 

[ornithology]

honestly, i think it looks pretty good. I think it will look even better with the removed moldings.

^^^ +1 it would look a lot better with the moldding off. Looks good though just need to black out the amber side markers.

Car looks great im licking the rims and the drop looks good. Where did u install the sub? It's funny cuz I was looking at the same type of sub for my car last night. I'm thinking about the slim model.

I think if u black out the chrome part of the headlights with glossy black acrylic enamel, it will look nice. i did it last sunday. And maybe the grille if u want to.

just gonna pretend i didn't see that whole "cut spring" thing.....

(cool)

go for a proper suspension, its not just about the drop, if anything thats the last thing its about. i have eibach springs on tokico blues, rides exactly the same as stock cept when turning

Looks good but that ride is going to be terrible.. I did this once to a Probe GT back when I was 16. hacked it to the ground and told myself the ride was great. but then I relized what I was missing out on. But you can sucessfully cut 1coil or less without sacraficing ride quality or boucniness. I did 1 coil off of the rear of my GA and its still smooth as can be.

thnx for the support everyone, suprisingly i though it was going to ride like s*** when i cut my springs, it actually doesnt bounce like hondas do.... even my dad and grandpa took the car out for a spin and were surprised at the fact that it didnt jump much. i have 2 turns cut on the front springs and 1 1/2 in the back. now of course i had to roll my fenders like crazy... i will be going for proper suspension later on. next to come is blacked out taillights and headlight lids. i am also thinking of going for a black hood just the middle but idk how that is going to look so im still debating on it. more pics to come as i work on the car. now the subs its just a simple ported box with a nice amp going for a custom set up later when i get the other two type r's and i finish my speakers in the inside so far im going to be moving the power window controlers to the middle and putting 5 speakers on each of the front doors and 2 on each of the back doors and 8 in the back. dont know how yet but it will happen its going to be a full blown show car when im done with it

lol actually it does.. I had a few different types of springs or coilovers over the years as Ive always been partial to having a slammed car... The ride is always rough and youll always wind up with destroyed struts.. Its just part of the game..

dont act like our cars dont ride like s*** on a STOCK suspension.. let alone drop springs..

 

[alexelie]

wtf ride like s***?? i like the way my car ride on tein spring.
