What was the issue with the normal front Megans and the rca. They were too long?

Well the whole reason I got coilovers for the bags was because the bags couldnt raise the car up high enough. When the megans came in I had the same problem. The strut itself on the front coilovers didn't allow me to extend the coilover unit long enough. When I put the coilover at its longest possible setting and raised the bag perches as high as I could, it still couldnt be raised enough. This is why I needed all 4 rear struts. Does that make sense?

WHEELS CAME IN Locksmice Dukes re-lipped to 18x10 and 18x11





Holy stretch... 215/40s on the 18x10s and 225/40s on the 18x11s







Threw the wheels on and gave the car a bath. At this point my accuair sensors were still broken. Manual height adjustment sucks so bad. I would literally get out of my car at stoplights to check my height.







Left the tire sticker on to see how long it would last This picture was after driving about 100 miles. It came off as soon as I hit the freeway in the rain.



Then I finally got a chance to install my height sensors and my new, longer megan struts! Now that I have all 4 rear coilovers for my bags the height is perfect. I can go lower and higher than where the bag is set right now. I have plenty of adjustment on both sides.

Tucking 18s was cool but the whole reason I wanted accuair was to achieve perfect fitment. So I added some spacers to the rear and here it is...



I'm probably gonna rip off the plastic outer fender liner things soon. I was gonna leave them there, to look as clean as possible but the wheels now push on them so hard that the adhesive is coming off.

Also put some Nokya Hyper Yellow fog bulbs in. As of right now the front will not go lower because the exhaust is sitting on the ground when I air out. This week I am going to get the section right after the cat chopped and re-welded up higher and have them re-weld the muffler hangers so it sits higher, as well as roll the front fenders. Then i'll be able to achieve perfect fitment front and rear



The end, thanks for reading.

Looking good dude! I too have an ls400 on e-level. I had my exhaust tucked up resonators deleted . I would suggest you do the same cause it is real easy to rip it off from riding low.

Thanks man! They charged me $250 for the two rear shock bodies.

Shit, that's not bad at all. Thanks!

[rsingh3g]

Well man I wish you good luck in finding that rear lip, it will complete this car. What are the plans for the interior?

[JFinn]

looking great man! love to see more LS's being worked on

not a big fan of the front lip or the skirts, idk what it is it just doesnt flow right to me i guess, but overall the car looks awesome!

looking forward to the wheels

Thank you!

Really digging your old Prelude.

Car looks good. Just out of curiosity if you don't mind, what did the Megan coilover bodies run you?

I need to get shorter bodies for the front of my car so I can bring it down another 1/2"

quick work, love the progress, and the results.

Thanks!

Its most likely because he doesn't have the rear lip on.

OP car is looking great
