Questions... - 5/25/2008 6:27:41 PM    Flatline1121   Posts: 74 Joined: 5/25/2008 Status: offline Okay, first off, i just put bigger rims on my car but they have low pro. tire's so m y car sit's lower('91 btw) and i have recently started hearing my muffler scrape the ground on as much as a twenty fiveish degree hill. I want to lower it a little to get rid of the gap but i feel that even an inch is pushing it too far. i still want to be able to get into parking lots with speed bumps.  should i even worry about lowering it and just get bigger rims or do they make half inch drop kits? _____________________________ 1991 CB7 4 Door JDM H22A USDM H2U5 Tranny Custom SRI Greddy SP2 Cat-back Post #: 1

I think i need to lower it in the front and stiffer suspension in the rear to keep from hitting my muffler, but i'm a beginner _____________________________ 1991 CB7 4 Door JDM H22A USDM H2U5 Tranny Custom SRI Greddy SP2 Cat-back (in reply to j_man_honda) Post #: 4

I suggest either redo you exhaust and run it higher so it wont scrape or buy bigger wheels/tires and then lower _____________________________ 1999 Honda Accord "EX"(SOLD) 1996 Nissan 240sx "SE" (in reply to Flatline1121) Post #: 5

I trade an in-dash dvd player for it (beggars can't be choosers). i'll have to keep my eye out. Thanks again! _____________________________ 1991 CB7 4 Door JDM H22A USDM H2U5 Tranny Custom SRI Greddy SP2 Cat-back (in reply to j_man_honda) Post #: 6
