I actually drove it on a daily basis on PA's back roads. When you're that low, you kind of have to just accept that you're going to rub all the time. You have to take speed bumps and transitions to steep inclines at an extreme angle, and you have to do so at a crawl. In other words, it changes pretty much every aspect of how you drive... but it's completely worth it

When I get done with the suspension and bodywork of the mustang, I'm finding another EG and dropping it at least an inch more than my EJ1 was

haha, drop it like this:



Now that's a drop (tucking literally 3" of tire). I actually drove it like that for about 20 miles out of pure necessity (long story). Could only turn the wheels about 10 degrees... luckily it was about 1 in the morning so I was able to make like 30-point turns at every intersection

Actually, that's about the drop I'm looking at for my next civic... only I'll have smaller wheels and I'll be putting a camber kit up front to dial in a few more degrees of negative camber, so hopefully I'll be able to turn lol

M4d jdm 3-lug, y0!

And it was about a quarter-inch from tucking wheel. Now that was an interesting driving experience. I'm a super-slammed stance kind of guy, though. The mustang will be tucking front and rear tire in the same amount as my EJ1 was, and my next civic will look more like the last pic I posted.

*edit: I'm also missing my driver's-side skirt and my side moldings in that pic. Also, it's one of the rare pics of my car slammed from before I got my OEM front lip. I replaced the skirt and lug, but I never got around to shaving the molding holes and re-painting the car before selling it.
