question bout droppin my cb?

[Ryan3davlin_cb7]

If I was to put my cb on some coilovers I don't want my downpipe to mess up so is there something I could do to prevent it but still drop it?

be extremely careful

[deevergote]

Drop it on quality coilovers, such as Ground Control, and use shocks that are properly matched... such as Koni Yellows. The easiest way to destroy everything under your car is to drop your car on cheap stuff (or worse, stock shocks). You'll be bottoming out every time you sneeze.

i have no name coilovers with kyb gr2's and the ride is perfect no bouncing . i dont have any problems .

[deevergote]

...aside from the fact that it's extremely dangerous. No name coilovers are not to be trusted, and their spring rates are very high. KYB GR2s are designed for a spring rate no higher than 15% over stock. It's a very stupid combination.

If you can't lower your car safely and properly, don't touch your suspension. If that fails, you crash. You'll be lucky if all you do is destroy your own car. Chances are, you'll injure yourself, or someone else. When it fails, it won't be when you're cruising at 20mph. It'll be when you're racing someone like a dumbass on the highway, or when you have to suddenly stop or turn to avoid an accident.

Well I got some ground control coilovers. So I guess that's sort of a plus. And I am going to be extremely careful. anything else I need to know?

I dont know how many times this subject has been covered and Deevs comes out and has to say the say thing over and over. Its unsafe to use no name crap on one of the most important parts of your car. Think smart please

Quality shocks.

If you are worried about your downpipe scraping , you just need to be more careful on steep ramps and potholes.

How low are you planning on lowering your vehicle?

I am dropped 4.5" on neuspeed springs and koni yellows and my downpipe does not hit at all. Just take big dips and driveways at an angle and you should be good.

How did you manage to achieve a drop that's 2x's lower than the advertised drop of the lowest springs Neuspeed offers?

[93blackcb7]

if your gonna buy ebay springs dont slam it cause the ride quality is really bouncy but if your gonna buy full coilovers it wont be as bouncy it will just ride really good still have to watch out with road conditions though

My buddy got them for his prelude, decided on a different set. Installed them on my car, ended up being about a 4" drop.
