Originally posted by 01XLude To me... a 1 to 1 1/2 inch drop on a prelude looks funny.... drop it two inches.... thats about perfect and looks REALLY nice.....
Is your ride dropped 2 inches? When i was driving in SF (don't know if you're from the city), it was a bizznitch.. so many damn potholes downtown...scraped one of my tow hooks too.
Mine is dropped about 2 inches....... I'd never drive in SF with my Lude.... waaaaaaaaay too many pot holes and bumps and dips.... I've only scrapped twice... both on potholes by my house....
would you reccomand that i drop the perche or leave it ? ? ? B./c i might be installing these this week ... i have the regular koni 2 perch front / 3 perch rear .. let me know !
sam/checkmate- ur ride is just about right for me. at 12 inches all around from the fenders to the middle of the wheels are around 2 inches of drop i think coz i measured the stock and it came out like 14 inches all around.
ill start with 12.5 inches and let it sag a little bit and ill adjust from there.
checkmate- does the dealer have a hard time servicing ur lude with that low a ride?
here the hardest part is getting an alignment coz all their equipment comes with those high things u have to drive up to.
getting change oil is no problem though coz i do it myself.
does the stock jack still work in ur ride sam?
