Default Lower is better...

As some of you may already know from previous threads, I plan on getting some adjustable coilovers soon to replace my Tokico Springs. The Tokicos only give me a 1.5 inch drop and never settled on the pass. side. Plus I want to do some autocrossing in the future and I just love a nice tuck. Sooo.... I did a little photoshop to get a better visual idea of exactly what I'm trying to accomplish... Looks much better.

"Sweetie, Ground Controls would make a nice Christmas present you know."

"What are Ground Controls?" [&:]

Anyway...

Now...sitting high...

Ahhh much better...


I may not actually drop it this low, I'll determine that once I get them on and see how they ride. But I'm looking forward to it.

Looks good, but I'd bring the rear up juuuust a hair to give that raked look

Thanks Belmont. Hopefully I can get it done soon. If something doesn't give, I'm gonna have to splurge.

Mill$, your EK would look super sick dropped another inch or so. I was already looking forward to dropping it more, and once I saw MXS's Civic slammed... case closed. I'm really looking forward to some autocross events. I could just cut the springs for lower height but I want to improve handling as well. My current Tokico spring rates are too soft for hard cornering, plus I've heard many horror stories from people chopping their springs...
