Your completely right. That pic was taking the second i finished fitting them. over this week i have been continuenly rising it and tuning the dampening effect.

Its still v.low but to say i have ruined it is complete and utter bollocks, its a vast improvment handleing wise and a good improvement on the traction and braking.



Surfer, no turbo yet, just reading up atm

Looking at that second pic, figuring you are pushing at least 200 whp *and* trying to corner: ruined.

Shoot for 1/2" below stock Si ride height, MAX. That's that all the Toda/JUN/etc track cars did back in the day. That is where best handling is... and body roll is not a bad thing, the suspension is designed to camber so you have a solid contact patch around turns.

wtf?

his car is CLEAN AS ----. and what CRX forum?

the ride height looks pretty hot, although personally I prefer 'em slammed. something some people forget, is that you should try to keep the rear end just a tad higher than the front, to help with traction. I went from 1" difference to 3/8" difference (when i slammed my car on its coils after i got it) and noticed a big difference in traction from a dig. also it helps to have a friend help you, so you can measure your heights with yourself in the car, so you can keep the front level and the rear level when your driving in it.
