King Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 i have been lately thinking about lowering my vti-s to 60mm, as i think 40mm is too high for the standard 15inch speedlines -i was wondering if anyone has got any pics of mb's lowered by 60mm - and if any1 has lowered there vti-s by 60mm, how do you find going over speedhumps is it possible to go over speedhumps (slowly obviously) or is there no way the front vtis lip can clear the speedhumps?also cant believe i missed those shocks and srings for sale by jallen thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav_ek4 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 60mm ek rear springs on ek shocks will drop an mb well over 130mm...in fact if you fit them you will be lucky if the mbs wheels turn due to eg/ek/dc shocks being 4" shorter than mb ones to begin withfront ek stuff will work fine though...rears will work if you run oem springs as the drop will come form the shorter length of the shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I've got a MC2 with H&R coils set almost as low as it'll go without the tires rubbing, so i reckon it's atleast -60mm. Here's the build thread: http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1097. The things where you connect a towrope in the front underneath, what are they called by the way? Well they've got some hits but it's nothing serious. Also some scrapes on my cat and backbox but very minor and purely cosmetic. So i say slam it! I''ve been toying with the idea of swapping my 7x16's for 8x15's with et15... and lower it even more! Probably not a smart move but it will look so good...
