...Civic so low, that I cant get the jacks back under it to fix my tire rubbing.

sideskirts were taken off to give more room to fit jack...nope...still wont fit back under. and YES my right side frame is bent from the accident when the kid threw me over the curb sideways and the force of my car hitting the curb bent the frame in...but nothing is messed up when i put the skirts back on

that is pretty low

 

[EM1_ProJect]

trying to lower the back but the perches for the coilovers are too tight. i have to WD40 them down later on and try again

 

[LatinEM2]

looks really low..how much of a drop is that???

i didn't measure...i just maxed out my coilovers...i think they go like maybe a half centimeter lower...but i did it to the point where there was a half cent. left

Looks good. Also looks like a pain in the butt being that low. I will kill my bumper in Texas.

loooks tight

it's nice but the only thing is..i dunno how i will get it back up to fix the tire rubbing...no home jacks will get under it (out of the 2 i have) and Rob's (at rnk racing) is higher than a home jack on his lifts so he cant do it either...i dont think i can ever raise it lol....

it doesn't fit over the lifts at Rnk Racing...Rob was going to let me use his lift and do it myself but they wont fit underneath my car... im getting worried i cant fix this! i just want it up like .15 inches to stop the rub

find two boards, lay one crosswize and prop the other board onto it so you make a ramp, drive one tire up on the ramp and you should have atleast another inch or so to jack up your car

Why did u decide to go so low, it was fine before, whatever floats your boat bro.

it's the only way i can get mine onto a jack, and even then i usualy have to have someone pull up on the corner of the car... it's sort of a pain in the ass

i've always wanted it this low...i dunno why, but when i lowered it, like 2 weeks later i was like..." i think i want to slam it " and then i saw a 7th gen (the one i raced the other day that i LOVE) and it was SLAMMED and i was like... "thats it, i gotta do it"...so i did!

The car looks good man but, if you had your stock scissor jack that should still fit under it? Otherwise the boards is the best idea, I've done that on other cars... I can't remember the name of it but, there are other lubricants you can use that are thicker than wd-40, not to knock the-40 but, there are some that are better.
