Dropping car 2.25 inches - Honda Prelude Forum

Heero · 06-25-2002, 10:01 PM

Hi, I'm soon going to drop my car 2.25 inches front and rear... but I won't be getting camber kits... and I know it'll wear off my tires, but I cannot afford camber kits. Do you guys know what I can do?

ALSO, very important is that I don't know if the WW RS kit will be fine on a 2.25 drop... will it be too low and scrap, etc.?

If anyone can help, tell me, thanks.

With a kit you have trouble going around town being dropped that much. With a 2.25 you will burn through tires so you can either spend 250 on camber kits or I don't know what size rims you have but spend 300-700 dollars a year for new tires.

ekkk, yikes

i need a good spring/coiler kit for under 60 bucks or so... coilovers, springs, whatever... i want to drop it clean and nicely... i didn't know 2.25 was low. i'm also putting the ww kit later so i need to know what's a good lowering height.

also, if anyone has a WW RS kit for sell soon, tell me, thanks.

if anyone has springs... tell me =)

I had a WW RS kit with 2.25 drop before. I didn't have any problem getting around except for parking, like pulling too far and scraping the parking stall concrete block thingy. My tire started getting bald fast and started shaking, especially running long distance for a long period of time. I bought camber kits for all four (adjustable to 3 degrees) but wasn't able to use all 3 degrees because it was too low and you'd have to cut a section of the fender to use all 3 degrees. It looks alot better than 1.5 drop though.

Oh yeah, I also had 1.5 drop before that, but looked like I didn't even do nothing to it.

well.. possibly you could get kits for the front and just rotate your tires once or twice a month. Theres not a whole lot you can do to avoid eating your tires at that drop. Just get some cheap tires in the mean while. If you are on 17's or 18's, if you go trips I would put on the stock wheels and eat them up instead.

i haven't messured it out, but i know my car is over 2 inches lower with my tein HA's on and i only scrape my WW RS lip on my driveway when i exit it over 5 MPH other than that i have no troubles.

with my teins I have my car ghetto low (~2.5") with a ww rs kit. I haven't had any problems yet with speed bumps or any scraping. Mabye it's because my teins are crazy stiff.

hahaha yea probably the same deal with me

tein HA's ownZ auto-x though! the only people in SM in my area that aren't on Teins are bringing up the back of the pack.
