      It's cool man, none taken. I like that kind of thing, I don't expect others to feel the same way.

      I only have one pic right now, it's on a hill by my house so the angle is a bit off, and the front wheel is turned which raises the front a bit. You can tell by the back tire how low it really is. My little mudguard things are only about 1.5" off the ground.

      Thanks for the compliment I got the springs from Weapon-R. Talk to Chris or Leo I think. They are the circuit pro setup, only $150.00. They can make what ever setup you want too, just specify use of the vehicle, DD, AutoX, whatever and they will change the spring rates accordingly. www.weapon-R.com

        Offset

        P-rotege,

        You car sits perfect!! What wheel offset do you use? I'm almost ready to set my car back on the ground and see how low the bags dropped it. I wanna run 17's and I know i'm going to tuck quite a bit.

        Thanks

          Thanks man,
          I believe the wheels are 17x7 40mm offset. You better post pics of your car bagged, If I had the money I'd do that **** in a heart beat. BTW what bags are you using, is it a kit, or custom setup, how much $$. Watch for speed bumps

            It is a kit from AIM industries (airbagit.com) They have an Ebay site and it's like $1,100 for the complete kit (airstruts, tanks, compressor, switches, guages, valves, etc.) I had to buy like $350.00 in fittings and hoses and airline to set it up the way I wanted. I'm dropping off all of my suspension bolts and nuts to be Bright Zink plated tonight. We should get it all together Friday night if all goes well and I'll take pics then.

            Right now i'm running 16x7's with 35mm offset. I've had the rear tucked with my old coil overs, but it was close.

                Pretty damn close, maybe a touch lower, I think it barely tucks the tire with the 14's. What suspension are you using?

                I'll see if I have some old pics, I have to get new tires on the 14's so they're out-of-comission right now.

                      i have no idea, it was soooo long ago. I havent really took my car out anywhere and really took aroud some hard curves on a track. but i have in t mountains, its so firm that the rear end can shake loose real easily especially with the mx3 tie bar. But i have seom real good sticky yokohamas in the back.

                      these are the same as the ones i got

                          Would those $139.00 Eibach sprints cut down on body roll as well? That's the only gripe about my car really, It just rolls too much. If I can spend $140 to make it nice and firm, I'll do it. Will it provide quicker steering response as well? I don't really care about a jerky ride, having fun in the twisties is worth it. Would I have to do struts and **** too, or just springs?

                            Stiffer spring will do that for ya. And you should replace the sturts too unless you want to look like a ghetto ass civic drivers and bounce all over the road.

                              i have eibach springs on my 93 EGT, and i love them, cant even move the suspension an inch if i push on the front fender, but obviously the rear will move around an inch or so. but they handle great, awsome profile too.
