MY EM2 :D [first car]

[Que]

Well if you slam it i doubt it, unless you raise it up before. Bcaue if you're bushings and balljoints and cv joints and all that good stuff go bad, and you bring it in slammed they're gonna be like its your fault for slamming it lol

well i want it to be atleas 3 or 3.5 inches, but i wouldnt take it to just an average shop, i would take it to a specialty shop, im pretty sure they have lifts and equipment for lowered cars, if not, i can take off my front bumper, but i dont even think im going to run a front lip, i dont like the common ones almost everyone gets for our whips

[Que]

i think im sitting at about 3 inches lowered or so, but truthfully i could care less how low i am, i just like the look of a decently lowered car not stupid slammed because i actually want my car to handle good and i hate driving slow, even tho its not at its full potential being as low as i am (until i get my balljoints ) i still want it too look good and not look like a truck. and about the specialty shop true, im just sayin if ur insurance company finds out its been lowered they might not fix it seeing that lowering a car = putting more stress on suspension/drivetrain parts = breaking shit. But about the lip thing, i feel you thats why i took my lip off i got bored of it, but im in the works of getting a front bumper nobody has that looks dope. Just need this school money to come in/paycheck so i can order it and get it painted. That is the last thing for form that im gettin for my car because i wasted $200 on my lip and sides

i hear that bro! thats what im going for, i want a lowered whip, but i dont want it slammed anymore. When you put it like that, it makes sense that insurance might not cover my car, if thats the case, then i guess i will be doing more of the work myself I looking forward to this front bumper though! what kind are you looking at? thats alot of money for just a lip and sides

[Que]

Cant tell you about the bumper, its a suprise. Only one person on here knows what it is. And thats actually pretty cheap cause my lip was only $60 and the sides were like $120 and thats cause its a spoon replica and the sides are oem replicas. Normal oem sides are like $250 used and the lips are like $200 used. But i say to form and to function. But a lil form aint never hurt nobody lol

haha then im hella excited to see it brah! but yea bro, the legit OEM ones are hella expensive! but they are definitely worth it, seeing that they dont make them anymore, now that you have brought up bumpers, i have started looking at some and i have an idea of what i want i honestly dont know what i want to go for, i wanna do alittle bit of both, but mostly leaning towards form

[Que]

i mean form is fine as long as u dont go over board faggy flush with it.
But i like drivin fast, and turning fast. I cant drive a car like i'm a 2year old trying to learn how to ride a bike. Plus i've been bad with timing lately so i wish i had more power cause i'd be gettin out every chance i get. But the thing i love about being lowered is, i can catch a yellow light before it turns red when i turn & gettin out on people on off and on ramps lol And arent you in body class? you should get a bumper from an ek, or an rsx and mold it to our car, that would look so dope

i hear that, i dont want it too flashy to the point where it looks bad, but i wanna put my own touch to it to be unique.You and me are pretty similar brah! haha i love driving fast, but i only do it here and there sometimes, id oubt i could get away with it all the timebut what do you mean you are bad with timing? do you mean as in shifting? whats it like being lowered? it must feel pretty different. i am, but unfortunately, im only in the repairing and working with metal, once i get to street rod, thats when i start doing custom shit, but with what i know so far, i probably could be able to do that, i just need the right tools haha, it would be pretty sick! i think someone on here did the same thing, and it turned out hella sick!

lol for timing i mean like late for shit for some reason, and yeah i dont really drive fast all the time depending where im at but over near where i live i drive fast 99% of the time lol. And as far as being lowered i love it, i love when i hit lil dips on the freeway or street and i just bounce with the car idk why it puts a smile on my face lol, i wish i had stifer springs tho, that should happen in the next 2 months hopefully. Since im not stupid low i dont worry about dips and shit i just have to worry about some speed bumps, like the short and tall ones cause if i go over a liil too fast the car drops hard on the frame. But 90% of the speed bumps i dont have to angle over them. My exhaust scrapes sometimes over them but i really dont care cause i always scrape it coming out of the garage at my job. And the car i think ur talking about is the candy red em2 with the BYS bumper from an ek

haha thats hella sick! i know what your talking about too, cause i was curising yesterday morning, and there was this long stretch of road that had dips in them, and i was just chillin bro and i had a big smile on my face haha! its probably better when your lowered. Speed bumps, im not too worried about, i dont want to have to plan out my way to get somewhere just because im too low exhaust is bound to get scraped, i just found out that on my exhaust, the only part that is scraping is the mating flange of my mid pipes, nothing else but yes! thats the car im talking about, that is insane that he was able to do that
