#87259, "Pictures of the new drop"
Jul-17-05 10:35 PM by EclipseTenzoR

          

Thought it was necessary to post pictures of the recent drop I did on my car. Some information first about my drop is that it is on Dropzone Sport springs that drop 2". Now I originally did this for two reasons. One I didn't have much money to drop it and get the camber kit, and two I choose to take the road less traveled and a few of my friends had dropzones on their civics and it was a great ride for them. Well my final opinion on them is that they are great springs. Very soft and delivers a close to stock ride for it being a 2" drop. Now when I say close to stock ride I only mean this on normal roads. If you live in East Ja-bumble and your roads are bumpy forget about it you better get some adjustables such as tokico or some konis. But I am willing ot bet that if these springs were on a stiffer strut or some adjustables they would ride excellent and you would probably feel very little from the road. Anyway.. I know you have been waiting for these so here it is.

Another Stock Shot

Dropped

Nice Wheel Shot


Note: Felt it necessary to show that my car now owns 2-ton jacks.. As shown my friend trying to pull the jack out from under the car.. lol not happening with out raising it back up a little bit with the stock jack

THat makes a world of difference. So you haven't/didn't adjust the rear camber at all then?

No camber correction as of yet. I have the kit for the front and rear made by ingalls but the strange thing is my camber really isnt off that much. Not like where the wheels look like they will fall off. I could probably get away with doing the backs and leaving the front alone. We'll see though

Yea got rid of my nasty chrome ones... They worked great with HIDs but the chrome just didnt match. So I went back to stock, and now I am going to retro-fit 350Z projectors in the stock housing. I'll post a picture later probably into another post. Or you guys will just have to wait until that is finished. But its going to look nice.

looks nice- heres a little lowered car tip- if you drive up on a 2X4 or a similar piece of wood, it raises the car enough to basically put a jack underneath it- the stock jack sucks- its easier that way...

The tires are 215/35/18.. Way to small. I havent even put the camber on yet so I am going to just let these tires go until they are dead since they are the wrong size anyway. I'll buy some nitto neogens later down the road that are 225s.

Looks very nice.

Speaking of lowering and floorjacks...

Here's a great floor jack I found at Sears.

http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00950240000&tab=spe#tablink

3.75" min up to 18.5" lift range. 3000lb. load max. Quick lift feature (two pumps raises the saddle to max height under no load). Very nicely built. Goes easily under my lowered 98.

$119 Watch for tool sales to get it for less.

Dave what struts do you use? And how low are you. I am thinking about buying some agx adjustables. The ride is'nt bad for me unless im on some harsh roads but I get bad wheel hop then. It annoys my passengers so I think I should do something about that.

I first looked at your picture and I was like, damn those are nice rims, and then I realized they are the ones I used to have emoji

Looks good though. Hope the dropzones work good for you.

Edit: How did you get the HP caps to go on the front??? My hubs stuck out too far to put them on.
