The car sits about 4-5" off the ground right now. But it's fully done and setup perfectly. So we have these township installed rain gutters right at the edge of our driveways. I have two steel plates on my side of the driveway so I can get my 00 Civic up past the gutters. Well going down that with the 91 Civic I barely heard something scrape.
Turned to go out our street I got on the gas like I woudl in my 89 Civic Si and the car just took off. Now mind you it has a Super Trapp muffler so it's on the loud side. I think I might have ruptured my ear drums though.
So going down the street it's riddled with potholes, bumps, dips, you name it. I'm trying to avoid all of them
I pulled next to a SUV and the tops of the tires were eye level with me. So if I get into an accident I'm DEAD!
It corners like a dream though even on Nokian snow tires. Bouncy as hell though!

If the setup was done perfectly, it would not bouce. And for the one that cut his springs.... tisk tisk.
