Stock ride height or lower?

[Racecomp Engineering]

We will likely have a mild drop spring and a more aggressive drop spring for the car. Too low is a problem for most aftermarket springs and we stay away from that as we focus on function and performance (which can look great too).

I'll most likely change to coilovers after 60,000 miles and drop it about an inch.

4" drop or go home!

Seriously though I can't wait to see what threaded body systems you guys do.

I live in one of NY's five burroughs sooooooooo I'll be keeping mine stock ride height. If your intersections were shaped like W's you would too -__-... hate New York

Low is the way to go. Lemme get somebody who says my intentions are all form and no function so I can E-slap you in the face

High is the way to go. Put 24" wheels on it and raise the suspension so I can sit as a high as Hummer.

I can understand coilovers but not the rolled fenders and stretched tires and chambered kit. Hella ugly IMHO.

I'm not talking stupid camber and ridiculous stretched tires.

Look at the pic of my 14. Coilovers, stretched tires, cambered a bit, tucking the tread of the tire front and rear, front and rear wide fenders. Nothing extreme or not functional. The car sat just like that and i DD'd it and drifted it as it sat. 3rd gear entries, tandem, the whole 9 yards.

There is such a thing as hellaflush and very functional. The fanbois just constantly F*** it up and do it wrong.

im no engineer but i would bet my savings that there are more functional setups for the s14 than the one you are using. to each his own though. i bet that of the of people that post on topics like this, 5% ever end up buying the car and of the people that buy the car 5% of them actually modifiy it.

Cool story....But I'm pretty sure the car was very functional for it's purpose. Wasn't meant to be an autox or time attack car. Wasn't meant to be a show car. Wasn't meant to be a hardparked car. It was meant to be driveable on the streets, and be a kick ass drift car and it did all both amazingly well.

Like I said, there are ways to do it. Problem is most people don't know how. If you can give me a setup for this car that works better for its purpose, please lmk.

im not trying to get into an internet fight about a topic that i dont care about but i bet you would see immediate benefits if you just went with smaller non staggered rims and maybe got a little suspension travel back. i dont know anything about your setup other than what i can see from the picture but like i said, to each his own

I will base my decision on the stock ground clearance, not not some arbitrary number I am going to drop it. I lowered my Accord and have 4 inch ground clearance and have no problem getting around NYC. Will be looking to do the same with this car, a simple "I am/am not going to lower it" doesn't really make sense to me.

I don't like the HELLAFLUSH look one bit.

And yes. FUNCTION > FORM

There's a difference with yours. From my asian eyes yours looks pretty fitted. Which is a nice look.

The Chambered look doesn't suit well FOR ME at all.


To answer the thread.
Lower AT MOST 1 inch. But I might drop it 1/2 inch. Or maybe a few mm. But not following the crowd with the super-dropped-scraping-the-shit-out-of-the-ground-ultra-rubbing-exhaust-plastic-bag-picking-up car. Nothx.

Or submarines. nooooooo way.
