    Opinions

    Still haven't started turbo project yet, but I will soon.

    Just threw my suspension on the today. Eclipse Eibach pro kit with kyb gr-2 struts. Not sure what to do next. Jdm skirts/lip? or does it need to be lower? I kinda didn't pay for the pro kit so I think I'd be safe going to a 1.5-2 inch drop, I believe these were 1 inch right now. will post better pics tomorrow morning.



    Also, it handles SOOO GOOOD ahhhhhhhhh....

    Do you want to increase the performance of the car...or do you want to enhance the look of the car, its your choice on what route you take next.

    The drop is nice..great for daily driving.

    Well I want to do a type r front lip w/jdm sides, and I don't want it to look stupid because the car is too high. I want the handling performance it has now, as the car will be boosted soon.

    Holy camber man!! I like the drop yours looks hella nice. I will probably get some lower springs. i have 17's with 225/50's all around. I don't wanna spend the money on coilovers because I won't have this car forever. Too much $$.

    Ok heres the deal. You drop is not set in yet. Your gunna get lower as the springs settle. Coilovers are great because you can get the exact drop you want. Here is my car on d2s about a 2-2.5 in drop in the front and 1-2 in the rear. Btw if you do a type r lip our cars are gunna be twins.lol Not this g but my new one.



    And btw D2s get bitches.

    Nothing wrong with a drop, I don't like slammed cars. I just prefer function over form, that's all.

    Thanks for the feed back guys I appreciate it. I'm liking the drop more and more every day. And I do get in the occasional race with a random Honda every now and then so I want some decent handling performance. 98m, sorry for copying you but your car looks amazing :)

    Here we go again

    But OP I think you are on the right track, by taking the edge off the 4x4 stock look. But wait for your current springs to settle before you make any further decisions
