How can I get my front lower?

[low_offset]

just take out the helper of the coilover i get rid of mine and the ride is smooth like before

[BreakMyWallet]

yea, buy shorter springs. theyre pretty cheap. ground control sells replacement for 60 bucks.

just make sure u buy them shorter and stiffer

[Digitalwave]

The universal solution:

buy shorter springs

[vdubkid]

Could someone explain to me, as if I didn't know anything about how to go about it how one would get as low as possible on DDM coilovers? Cheers

[AirecK]

take a ring off, its all good if u take a ring off and bring that single ring all the way down til it cant turn ne more. or remove a bump stop that could help ya also

I'm at the same place you are, and it sucks. I'd buy shorter and stiffer springs myself but I got cheap coils and I'd only spend that kinda cash on adjustable ones.

Fortunately for me I left a little spacer that's 1/2" thick in the assembly so as soon as I do the necessary mods (rolled fender and another spacer) it's drop heaven.

iirc, you can get custom springs for pretty cheap. Think Brian told me GC sells em for $75 each, could be wrong though and if so blame him.

I have tein ss on my accord and had the same problem. So i decided to order shorter springs and now it can lay on the floor with ease. But now my passenger side shock is blown so I am not sure if the shorter springs cause the shock to go out. I am goin to send it to tein to fix it once I get funs.. btw springs are around 200 for 4.. this is when I ordered 3 years ago..

So your saying that the camber plates is thinner and make teh suspension goes higher?

[JSanders]

I'll try camber plates first.

I would rather not swap my springs unless I have to, I really enjoy the ride I have now.

Sorry, but it is. You can keep ghettoslamming your coilovers by throwing parts of them away, but in the end your springs aren't stiff enough to keep your car driveable at that low of a ride height. If you're at the lowest setting on your coils and want to go lower you need stiffer, shorter springs.

Normal people use camber plates to adjust camber to make for better handling, but they're also used to bring the upper edge of the tire inward, allowing you to go lower without rubbing, and ball harder.

Agreed.

Stiffer and shorter spring is what you will need to do this properly.

^ what he said.

e30 and e36 front strut mounts are very thick. High quality camber plates like GC and Vorschlag are much shorter overall, allowing the upper spring perch to move upwards and lower the car. They also provide more shock travel at the same time.

[hootie]

I know for E30's the stock camber plate is very thick, but after market camber plates (i.e., GC and Vorschlag) have a smaller stack height, which lower the car the difference between the stock camber plate and the new one.

[JSanders]

Damn. I was hoping it wasnt going to involve more money.


I should have know better.

Is the only way to go lower buying shorter springs?

I was reading or GC or Vorshalg's website and the said they don't lower or raise the car at all, it is the same height as the factory top hat.
