    Parang yung sa Corolla ko when I installed a set of Whiteline lowering springs (1.5" drop), nakatungo hehe. What I did was installed rubber lifters sa likod and got a pair of short struts for the front. Ayun, medyo pasubsob na yung stance niya, looks much much better...

    ganon din bagsak ng auto ko before nung naka eibach pro-kit eh.. galant yung car...

    feeling ko optical illusion lang yung di pantay ang bagsak kasi mas malaki ang fender sa front tires kaysa sa rear tires... i could be wrong though... paki correct nalang po kung mali :mrgreen:

    Illusion lang yun.
    The right way to determine the amount of lowering is to measure the car before & after lowering.
    Also if you notice, almost all cars have a bigger front wheel opening compared to the rear.
    It usually takes only a day or two of driving for the suspension to settle.

    try measuring the distance of the body near the wheels to the ground (near where you place the jack to lift your car if you have to replace a flat tire).

    civic naman auto mo dba?

    ang alam ko kyb na yung OEM shocks mo eh... di ko nga lang sure kung gas na or liquid pa rin... mas matibay kasi ata pag gas type eh :|

    or kung may arep ka tlga, mag bilsteins ka na! 16k para sa comfort shocks according to sir auto_xer

    pansinin mo yung fender arch sa harap at likod... mapapansin mo na mas mataas yung fender arch sa unahan kaya mukha siyang nakatingala... pero actually pantay lang sila... ganyan kasi prob ko sa b13 ko... palit ako set ng springs tpos yung malagay na, angat yung unahan... pero nung sinukat nila pantay naman sila lahat.


    rock on! :D
