lowered? you mean freakin bagged? do tell.

 

[BlackCobalt707]

lol, the cobalt is lowered. it only looks that low cause my garage has a little step that goes up a couple inches that the bumper sits over

 

[ff_drift_lol]

wtf lowered on what?

 

[BlackCobalt707]

k-sport. i made a mistake in the post. i meant it say it only looks that low cause the garage has alike 2-3 inch step up

 

[ff_drift_lol]

i see the step now. can you go lower or are the perches maxed? can i see a side view? it looks really good man.

 

[BlackCobalt707]

i believed its as low as it will go. if you know any secrets to lowering it more please let me know. i wouldnt mind letting it lower a little bit more

oh wow that is really high. well one thing you can do is remove the two lower locking perches. if you bottom the spring out there's no need for the locks anyway. anything else requires modification and I'm sure you don't wanna mess with those purdy k-sports. i bet they handle amazingly.

 

[BlackCobalt707]

ive considered cuttin them. i talked to fastl61 about it and he said they handle just as they did before he cut them so i might go his route

 

[ff_drift_lol]

no no no doooo nottt cut them. you can order custom springs from ksport for a very fair price. my springs were cut, i was tucking tire with great stance but poor wheel fitment. my only suspension was my tires. i was riding on bottomed out struts. i did go overboard with the cutoff wheel but it was also a noisy and unhealthy ride. it was beating up the car bad.

lol aight, i didnt know they did that. ill see how much dough i got left over from tax returns

the way i lowered mine using my ksports was i moved my spring perch UP.. moving it down will mmake it set higher

and im pretty sure he is lowered on the ksport springs not the coilovers.. might bewrong tho

 

[BlackCobalt707]

yea. cobalt = springs, civic = coilovers

oh shit, i feel stupid. i thought ff drift meant i can move the perch on my shocks lol. i just realized that

 

[ff_drift_lol]

right, the bottom locking perch will adjust the strut height in the knuckle bracket. i think i sort of explained it wrong so my bad. you can't lower the strut too much or it will start hitting the cv joint. as for lowering the spring perch, it will adjust ride height slightly due to lowering the spring rate and allowing for some sag. this kind of setup is strictly looks.

now this is just on coilovers. for springs, b&g springs will drop you to almost tucking tire status only in the rear. the fronts are yet to be figured out. stock struts just don't wanna go that low.

noice

looks sexy as hell man. win. how do they work at night w/o fogs and with the hid's? i was just afraid to drive around with them b/c of cops and stuff but honestly the car looks fresh

i honestly like your front more than my front end. all you have to do is pull apart the gold part on the emblem and paint it black. if u want you can send it to me and i'll do it for you. or if urs is new i have a spare one i can do for free and then send out to you if u send me yours. whatever works for you that is if you want the gold part to be black and the outside to be silver/chrome look.

dood.......your gunna have a hole in your exhaust, happened to my last car because it was lowered and the exhaust couldn't be tucked up any better.

 

[BlackCobalt707]

ima have the exhaust shop i got to fix it. i kinda fixed it somehow. i took a jack to it and i think it might have moved it up a little bit but it hasnt scrapped since then.
