I recently dropped my 5thgen 2.2 inches in the front, 2.0 in the rear... I love the look but man, Maybe its just NY, but DAMN... i've been scraping and kissing the pavement like every day....

I'm kinda worried... but at the same time i see all these Civics and lil hatchs Slammed around my area...My friend said i may just be worrying too much.. I dont know...

do any of ya'll that drive with this drop have a kit..... I want ground effects, but i fear they'll become just that "GROUND effects"

most people have daily drivers that are dropped 2in. you just have to get used to angling (sp?) for dips and driveways so that you would not scrape.

 

generally body kits, plus 2.0+ inch drop, and bad roads don't mix. i know there are ways to drive, but sometimes it's impossible to miss everything eventually you will ruin a kit. some people are also too stupid to care.

 

Mine was a daily driver till I hydrolocked it. Anyway it was dropped more than 3 inches. The lowest point under the car was 2 inches from the ground or around 3 fingers tall. I wasn't too much about angling, but knowing every single bump and hole on the roads. Learning what roads and driveways that caused problems.

 

whatever u do dont get a body kit is a waste of money and is sad, well if u drive to the city u lucky ur car still runs with that drop, i'm droping mine 1.7 and it already hurts to this when i'm use to drive like nothing here but even like that i pop my tires a few times is ridiculous i just hate the look on my car is like a 4X4, now driving from 20mph down to 5mph so i wont brake my neck when is dropp, no body kit no body kit my friends las tabout 2 months before the entire thing came apart.

 

i dropped my accord the same amount u did Coldsun. the lowest point on my car is the cat and b-pipe which is about 3-3.5 above the ground and i am doing fine especially for being around chicago. the only trouble i have is pulling into and outta my driveway. if i have the car fully loaded i will either scrape the front bumper or exhaust just slightly. if u get a bodykit though i think u might run into problems if u use the car daily...

 

my accord is dropped about 2 inches, with a body kit. Yes you have to be very careful, and start getting good at coming in on steep driveways and things at angles so you won't scrape. If you get a body kit, make sure u get a urethane front bumper.....no fiberglass....

 

go with urethane and its all gravy. .

 

im on eibach sportlines and have a poly urethane front lip

 

My car was droped 3in in front and 2in in rear. I was shocked cause the springs only called for 1.75!!!

My car scrapes and bottoms out a lot(im still running on stock struts) When i change them people say that the bottoming out will go away. i dont really care anymore. I just hit bumps. To reduce the noise just angle the bumps as some said. Youll get use to it.

My car doesnt look low from the front but the under carrage has about 1-2.5in clearence!!!!!!!!
