I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

lowering options..

Post by donninator321 » May 20, 2008

alright guys and gals. i want to lower my car badly but until this time next year i will not have any extra money. i talked to an ASE certified mechanic in my area and he claims that if i change out my spindles then it can lower using stock shocks, springs, etc. first off he is an oldskool kinda guy, other car guys around that i know tell me i can order a clamp thing that i just tighten down over my stock springs and i can adjust the height that way. I thought it may work but if anyone has heard of that cheap/easy way then let me know.
and no i refuse to cut my springs or go gay about it.. thanks!

then you might as well wait till u can afford some legit shit. playing around with suspension can cause serious if not deadly actions. dont be stupid save your money. non legit suspension parts shouldnt even be an option.

stance isnt expensive...its actually cheap in the grand scheme of things.



u need to learn about suspension, its geometry and adjustablility before you even think of lowering your hoopty.
