I didn't get a pink sticker nor was the height of my car ever questioned when my ek was lower than that on daiyamas and on 15's, and I got pulled over many a time.

Thats a bad ass height. :thumbsup: just buy some adjustable camber arms to sort out that camber, although 4- negative camber looks cool, even though handling may not be so well

Will get pulled asap for that height and bounce on the road, followed by a hefty fine and pink sticker

or

due to the now total lack of suspension travel and control of any travel left, a bump on the road may catch clear tail-lighted driver of this 'JDM *cough*' ve-hicle by surprise thus causing a loss of control of said clear tail-lighted ve-hicle.

AWESOME :thumbsup:

Ask any hard parker, any real hard parker, it doesn't matter if your bonnet is matt black or shiny black, faking it is faking it.

Haha well im not after weight reductions cuz the car is slow as it is...

BUT!! if you would have seen a while ago in the parts forum i was after a white ek bonnet... nobody had one and its alot harder to try match a white (DIY) than it was to just black it...

Its all getting painted white again when i finish all my other little projects that im putting on it...

Plus i heard a black bonnet is a extra 10hp??
Simular to the NZH stickers...??

my old ek was that height on d2's man, and ive seen lower. i never got pulled over in Auckland for that height either full certed though.

ACE JDM, those cheap trademe coilovers aregoing to blow ur shocks in no time, also because of the fact u have no bump stops.

i ran them in my car and went through 2 sets of shocks in 6 months, my brothers shocks blew in one week. the sping rate is just too hard.

not being a ass, but id get rid of them ASAP and invest in some pro1/skunk2 or similar coilovers, if ur going to use oem shocks.

and thats where you differ from ace-jdm-shit, you lowered yours on coilovers and certed it, where hes removed bumpstops, used coilover sleeves on oem shocks and has a dodgy wof...
there are right ways to do things and there are wrong ways
what way is he doing it?
