Comprehensive guide to extreme lowering?

[SkiFree]

Ok I want to emphasize that this isn't meant for advertising, but it may help the OP with visual understanding. This is a component list for proper coilovers. The basic methodology can be transferred to GC or GE c/o's.

Why would I need to weld in an aftermarket perch? Is there something about the factory one that's inadequate?

Oh man a touring.

Looks good enough for me.
I know my ride will be harsh. Pretty much on Bump stops.

I put proper sized tires on it and now I have even more wheel gap in front. went from 225/45R17 (oversize) to 215/40R17 (stock equivalent size). I was happy with how it was before, but I'm ready for some real lowness now. Not gonna get too crazy with any more stretch or crazy camber. I actually used the subframe riser bushings to try to help correct camber in the rear since I was replacing them anyway.

I dont find the ride on my car too bad, even with the smaller tires.

Got pictures of your car?

Shitty pic, pretty much all I have.

It's certainly lowered, but I would also not really say that car is that low. My car is on full length strut housings with GE coils all the way down and it's still not very low.

ix Konis are waiting to go on, though :)

Kid with a Civic made his own "drop hats" and posted pics on the internet.

On stanceworks they pretty much told him how misguided he was His car is actually much better now that we made him fix it

Seriously, a correctly set up suspension (like Ground Control) can be pretty stiff and still not ride horrible.

Oh god. You know the back story?
