Slammed Suspension
- Thread starter DookieLSC
- Start date
I recently installed racelands on my ej8 and i love them. The ride is stiffer but only a little stiffer than my buddies 2011 si stock suspension. Not to bouncy either. They have great customer service and a 2 year warranty. Why not try them out?

there is no information there regarding "slammed suspension"
to the OP, you will need more than just a set of coilovers (or shock and coil sleeve) setup to have a properly slammed ride. Simply dropping the car as low as you can, can lead to several other issues.
EJwood, camber does affect tire wear, but not nearly as much as having out of spec toe angles. Get the car aligned. The amount of camber will depend on the wheel and tire setup as well as ride height.

Agree completely but it will still cause wear for an unnecessary reason. Also it will greatly affect handling depending on how much negative he has. Bump steer....

thats not really that low. His wheel and tire setup fills the gap pretty well though. Im sure everyone would suggest going with a good reputable coilover/shock coil sleeve setup, alignment, and camber kit if needed. There are plenty of different combos that can get you there...some cheap, some not, some long lasting, some short.
just like an engine swap, its going to come down to budget. Try to get the most for your dollar, rather than the overall cheapest, so that you won't have to revisit your suspension in the future.
if you were going lower than that, you'd need a bit of custom work to get the car to function well at a very low height.

As much as we?re all about pushing the envelope and doing things no one has done before, we can also appreciate the simpler things in life. Jason?s 1999 Honda Civic would be just the right example. He wanted a reliable car that sat right, and this is what he came up with. A clean Civic Sedan that he is able to use as his daily back in Guam. It?s dropped on Apexi N1 EXV coilovers and is sitting on set of ESM 002 wheels. They are 16×9 (+20) with 205/40 tires all around. Less is more, remember?
Read the article and it tells u exactly what coilover setup he is running.... If thats the look u want, then get what hes got...

the people who do it and their s**t rubs and scrapes is doing it wrong. It should look like it can't be driven rather than not actually being able to drive.
