Yesterday I ordered a full Black Widow Bodykit from Bodykits Northwest . About two weeks ago I dropped my car on Neuspeed Sports and Tokiko Struts . Its about a two inch drop . I'm getting very nervous that when the bodykit is installed it will be way too low . Can someone who would know share some insight . Also I have a set of Hyperion Coilovers that I got for a good price last year but I didn't install them because I was afraid the quality wasn't good . however Island motorsports told me that they were stiff . So I'm wondering If I should put those on over the tokiko's and raise it up . I love my neuspeed's but I can't allow this car to touch the ground . What do you guys think ???? THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

It isn't that low. It might take you a day or two to adjust, but I think you'll be fine. Just dont hit speed bumps or dips at 40. Scratching may become a normal sound, eventually you wont care, and just dont crack it.

 

Get Coilovers or Airbags if you're really worried about damaging your kit.
You should be ok.
I'm dropped a little more than 2"
I almost think that's not enough. But at least I'm still legal 100% for the road.

 

:werd: just adjust yourself on driving a low car w/ a bodykit. all you got to remember how far you are off the ground.scraping is ok as long as nothing falls off.

 

Scraping is really bad when it catches onto your car and rips your entire exhaust piping and muffler off... :-/

 

yea i have to agree that it mite be a little on the low side.....but u jus have to drive carefully...ull get use to the little scrapes....i jus dont care ne more......even though i dont even have a kit......most the time i scrape my exhaust cuz the dunk has a large canister

 

If you've ever seen Guggan's accord, thats about how low my integra is in the front, and it's daily driven. I have a nice wheel tuck going on with a street fighter front bumper. Its lowered on sportlines with the koni yellows on the low perch in front. . .maybe dropped about 2.5-2.8 in the front and 1.8 in the back. Scrapes are a daily reality once you get below about two inches -- nothing bad since you don't see the scraping. Over time you will learn how to roll through scrapes and whatnot. Remember though, you don't want to take to many pothole hits and you don't want to be boxing it hard every day. If you do, eventually your mounting points will start to crack and your bumper will start to get loose. So if you decide to do this, make sure your front shocks and springs are stiff. You need an excellent rebound rate or else your bumper will be history. Don't worry, you will adjust to your new height and know the limits of your car. You got to pay a price to go big, but you will love it when you roll and are always the lowest ride around.

 

I think that the Tokico's won't raise your car up, but it can stiffen your suspension so that it doesn't lower your car on a bump and scrape the kit. Different concept. Same results.

The Black Widow kit is a pretty low kit especially with springs. Be very careful with it. With springs and shocks, it should be okay.
