Slammed "LOOK"Am running Skunk2 sleeves w/KYB AGX's on my car. Fronts are all the way down no bump stops and the rears am on the bump stops.
I want to go lower in the front but dont wanna buy a Real coil-setup right now, can I install some custom top hats and get the nose to seat alittle lower??

Shexy.
I don't think top hats will make your car sit any lower. They're just designed to give you more shock travel. The springs are what will effect your ride height.

nice drop any lower your gonna scrape your headers, exhaust pipes, shave up the mud guards, break an oil pan, mess up the axle. theres a white 4dr in north hollywood with air shocks, drops really low and rise it back up. its not my cup of tea, if you wanna go lower air suspenion

Mugen NR's right??
Sick wheels. . . . 
Drop it any lower and you will just have to remove your front mud flaps. .

Thanks guys
I do really like how it sits but theres that but.....I would like for it to be NO gap between the fender and tire. As it sits I scrape the cat going over speed bumps only.

if that's all you scrape then you can go lower.
are you still running the perches on the skunk 2's? or just the coilover springs in the front?
like this

I heard somewhere if you run Accord front shocks or Accord front forks it will lower your car like an inch...can any one elaborate on this?
|
whoa its len 2
|
clean drop. im barely tucking and scrape the chassis lol.
3rd gen accord shocks bolt right up. just gotta trim the notch for the groove in the fork. the front shaft are shorter by roughly 1/2 an inch but the distance from bottom of the shock to the perch are nearly the same. rears are the same but dont have the welded nut so you gain nothing.

took the preches last night off an almost tucking rim in the front but its bouncy as hell  need some custom top hats.

Usually if it's bouncey the dampers aren't stiff enough. Maybe cut a ring off the springs to reduce the static pressure, it might prevent it from 'bouncing'. Just a thought.

Well put one of the prechs back on and suspension when back to normal, meaning I have shock travel again so no more bounciness.
Raise the car about 1/4 but am happy on how it sits now.Ill post pictures after work.

only the mudflaps but problem if I when over a speed bump the cat would problebly take a few hits.
I still have to get the rear bump stops out so that problebly will sit the rear more even with the front but still have the rake look.

your cat will hate you. i messed up the part where the front passenger lower control arm goes on my car  ooops lol

You should just get some coilovers so you can slam in when you want and raise it when you are cruising in areas where the roads are all crappy !

Looking forward to that.
Your sedan is dope by the way

thanks man
I decide to put one of the perches back on, after instaliing some custom top hats that are 1/2 taller I thought it would help the stiffness. It did that low with me inside only but one's I took the family for a ride the bounciness came back and they started winening about the ride.

but the bounce is the fun part

car doesnt seem that low, there is alot of things you can do to your car to make it lower no doubt.
Try these:
Cut the cup assembly at the perch shorter all the way around ontop of coilovers with adjusting nuts with shorter springs and extended tophats, as long as you can compensate for the shorter springs with tophats youll be good, although tophats that are too big are just kinda too much
max tophat height should be around 1/34 inches tall, because any bigger and there really isnt any gain
Full coilover setup with adjustable shock body
mix and match suspension components
Once you go low you cant prevent scraping underneath the subframe
my car scrapes the front cross member, and gets stuck on small speedbumps, headers scrape the floor going straight, smacks into road reflectors and barely has clearance underneath , rear control arms scrape, can smacks into the ground somtimes, uca hit the chassis and cant get clearnance to go lower, mudflaps dont say honda anymore
my car rapes speedbumps, and i rarely go over them
it really sucks that the "EF" chassis is alot lower than most cars
but this is the joy i get for lowering my car
I still love my car though

whoa its len 2

His car is definitely lower now.
