it is decent in hight but it only has kyb's on it and i cant adjust it. Plus i want to tuck tire. I think it needs spacers because the fronts do not set flush in the front and the rear needs to come out alittle. Im only puttin 8mm spacers all around. So far the wheels are 18x8.5 +35 with spacers they will be +27. Cervo yeah most people dont like the cars slammed if they drive them. Im not going to put it on the ground. Im just going to lower it enough to tuck some of the tires.

Car's looking good, Adam! I'm glad you removed that pink sticker from the windshield. I'd say ditch the sportmaxx and unless you're wanting to be full track, keep the kybs and lowering springs.
I've rode in alot of lowered cars. Some with coil overs, some with cut springs, some with ebay adjustable coil springs, and I'd have to say the best riding lowered car I've been in is my co-workers Accord. He has monroe sensa tracs and tein 2 in drop springs. I swear it rides like a cadillac.
But it's your car, you may want coil overs for the adjustability and performance. I'm definatly going to be looking for some good lowering springs and replace the stock shocks with sensa tracs (I got the hook up on them). But I'm going for a comfy, fun, DD. Not a race ready street car...

o yeah i didnt remove the pink godzira sticker good o kentucky road work did that for me. I went to greens on day and came back with a nice big crack in my windsheild. Insurance bought me a new one tho. i will get real wheels sooner or later. My last car i had coilovers on and to me they ride no diffrent than the kyb's i have now. Hopefully when i go to NADC in nashville i can hit some drifting events. I already got spare 15's and a welded diff. I think this is a good learning platform for me. Im ready for the next scca autox tho for sure. I just cant wait to lower it more and get the stance i have always liked a 240 to have.

You don't need spacers, especially if you lower it more and enjoy aggressive driving or plan on driving it at an autocross event.

if you put spacers on that, and try to tuck tire, you're going to cut your sidewall in about 3 days. you might anyway, its looks great how it sits.

if your wanting to tuck the tires in the front and put spacers on it....just no need in it I saw the car when supergoob had it and everything seemed pretty flush if it was lowered more the tires would tuck some and be no need for the spacers, If anything you may want to roll the lip on the inside of those stock fenders just to make sure you don't cut the tire, my car rubs fender on tight fast turns and w/o it rolled it would cut the tire for sure...


Thats my old suspension and rode pretty comfy....but what would look even better on your car is my current suspension which is still for sale..... and you could buy my old fenders and run your spacers in the front and it'd fit good and flush
