5% TINT ALL THE WAY AROUND

LET ME KNOW WHAT YALL THINK.

 

I think you are bound to get a ticket with 5% tint, but I'm also crazy jealous that you went that dark because it looks awesome man!

 

Anyone would like to explain why lower the darn thing in the first place. I mean an explanation that actually makes sense ?


"The Disadvantages of Lowered Suspension

Increased bottoming out. One of the most common problems with lowered suspensions is that the vehicle can more easily hit the road when it bounces. Speed bumps can also be problematic. Contact with the ground can cause parts of the underside of the car to be seriously damaged. The oil pan and exhaust system are particularly vulnerable.

Uneven tire wear. In some cases, a lower suspension can cause tires to wear unevenly, or cause extreme wear patterns. Drivers should look out for this consequence when altering their suspension in any way.

Potential conflict with other parts. An even more dangerous consequence of a lowered suspension occurs when elements of the suspension system come into contact with other vehicle systems. Low suspensions can get caught up in anti-lock brake apparatus, sway bars, or even with the sidewalls of the tires. An incorrectly set up suspension can actually chew on tires, causing some serious potential risks.

Lifting and towing problems.For those who like to use manual jacks to raise a vehicle for routine maintenance, lowering the suspension can make a simple job a lot harder. Think about your access needs before shifting your car's frame lower toward the ground".

 

Lol I know I'm taking the chance it's just a fixit ticket I love the way it looks tho. Thanks tho.

 

JDM has them but the bumpers are a bit different than the USDM versions. May not work. You might just have to wait until they become available:

Because handling and looks.

With a 1.5" drop or less on this car, none of the issues you wrote are significant. Tire wear is the same after an alignment. Clearance is not a problem if you live in an area with good pavement.

As the old saying goes goes, if you have to ask, it's not for you. Don't lower your car.

 

Fuel economy can also improve with less air flow going under the car.

 

You are saying that the car will more easily hit the road when it is lowered. This assumption only works if the lowering springs are softer or as soft as the stock spring. This is usually not the case and the spring is usually harder than stock, reducing the bounciness of the car.
Also, lowering the car lowers the center of gravity. A lower center of gravity means less body roll when cornering and it also means less weight transfered to the front wheels when braking.

Furthermore, no suspension will hit the inner sidewall of your tires when the car is lowered if you have wheels that clear your components.. and I'm not exactly sure how a lowered car will cause the sway bar to make contact with anything else... unless you're gunning it through the whoops section on a dirt bike track. The only thing that moves when you lower the car (other than the car itself) is the lower control arm, which moves upward.. not that that can't be corrected with RCAs (Roll Center Adjusters)

 

Hey grandpa, you don't get to post a question and then type out your rant, as if you actually wanted people to answer your question, but to make sure we didn't mistake your sarcasm and snark before doing so.

Get over yourself. Lower or don't, but stop caring about what others do and making sure we have to listen to it.

 

I think it's like my son's pants, I don't get it but it works for him.

 

Made me laugh.

 

Very nice.

I want to lower mine when the new swift springs come out but It wont be as low as yours.

My 15 Fit EX is also white btw with 35% tint in the front and 18% in the back.

 

And there is a very good reason why it ain't lower. I'll post a write up soon, but rest assured swift's will work well enough on this car.

 

hey bro, What is the part # for the H&R springs. i want to order some.

 

What's the spring rates? Google can't even find me info for the GK5 H&R's.
