crazy dumb idea

[ff_drift_lol]

so I'm still dying to get slammed. I don't care about performance. I just wanna be low and not bounce everywhere like i did on cut springs. So we've established that, now I'll go on with my idea. I am currently on ground force lowering springs. if I drop them another inch, I should tuck tire again.

re-drill in the green.

I have seen people dropping struts on coils and breaking cv boots. i have pretty nice axles so i'd hate to do that. opinions. I have the drill press ready to go. somebody stop me! tell me something I don't know!

Think your CV boot would rub on the strut, I know when I had my Koni inserts there was barely enough room to fit the wrench to tighten the lower bolt. Hell why not? If it starts showing wear just put the bolts back in the original position.

 

[ff_drift_lol]

very true! thanks for your input man.

a little lack of steel for my taste. there is an inch of space leftover between the bottom of the strut and the cv boot. I marked the strut for 5/8" lower.

That was my other concern but couldnt remember how much metal was on that piece. Need be you could weld another piece in place of the stock bolt holes.

good luck with that

 

[ff_drift_lol]

didn't work. the perches hit the tires. everything else was good. i'd take pics but it's not even worth it. and i broke another end link. FML.

try cutting your springs again....

lol. I really just need to get coilovers. that's that.

 

[1WhiteSSTC]

coilovers ftw

 

[ff_drift_lol]

well this was a cool experiment lol. just a fyi don't try this at home! this stunt was performed by a brainless ff_drift.

lol don't worry, someone else will do it again

thread jack.. you are only running a 14.4@100mph? on stock tune?

 

[ff_drift_lol]

dead thread anyway lol. so i put in eccentric bolts and kicked out the wheels a little bit. -1 degree more. at least i got something done.

 

[YelloEye]

Shit I dunno why I didnt think of that.........thats the same reason we "cant" use tire chains.

 

[ff_drift_lol]

lol well if I get skinnier tires they'll fit. the holes are there for good. I'd get coils before that though.

altitude sucks here and to add our track is garbage too

Sure I suppose that would work, but then you might end up running into this problem if its to small

Cause I dont think theres much ur gonna be able to do without streching a tire

 

[ff_drift_lol]

i'll stretch some tires way later on. right now my 215/45's are skinny enough. i just need coils to get low and then i'll start worrying about fitment.

 

[interviewatruins]

lol you're always at it
at least you're thinking outside the box?
do it right though, don't get your wheels welded, drilled to make it sit like that or cut springs. thats something honda guys would do.
if you really want it low, save up some cash and get your car on bags or coilovers.

 

[ff_drift_lol]

and that's exactly what I'm working for right now lol.
