how low are your cars? - Page 2 - Honda Prelude Forum

I Have 5inches front clearance and even less underneath...I never scrape.

It's all about knowing where you're going, and sucking it up and not taking a driveway if you don't think you'll make it. Avoid Speed bumps like the plaque if you value your downpipe at all. You just have to use your head.

From the ground?

Or you mean the wheel wells?

Mines supposed to be lowered about 2 inches front and rear. I'm on some Tanabe Super Down Precedeo Springs and Tokico HP shocks.

oh yeah, I have about .75-1 inch gap still between the tire and wheel well. I want no gap!

i am the stupid one that bottoms out my car with coil overs that are cut. my car is at a 4 inch drop ,but i just ordered new drop springs 2.5 inch H-n-R.I THINK 2.5 INCHES IS A GOOD HIGHT NOY TO LOW OR HIGH,but it looks cool to have a sammed lude.

my ride is pretty low as u can see from da sig

my ground clearance is approx. 3.5" where metal ie. exhaust piping meets da ground

this is my daily setting

i could go lower jus for show but i wouldn't be able to leave my driveway

a side note: my car scrapes da plastic splash guard on the front of the car when there is harsh crowning on da road, in fact there is a huge hole

ride is incredibly smooth and not pogo stick like

i'm riding on tanabe sustec pro streets with springs to my shops specs

the original springs that came with it was too low to be able to pass vehicle inspections here in vancouver

I got coilovers with KYB AGX shocks. I only dropped it about an inch though. With my 18s I am really close to stock ride heigth.
