Darwin is hot on your tail.

Do yourself a favor... Remove the KO coilovers, clean em up, and throw them on Ebay.

Then, buy some KYB AGX and Springs and be safe and handle better.

Its unsafe to be riding undampened like that IMO/

Can't you get coilovers overhauled or something?... Might not be able with discontinued ones though.

thats too low, pal. Raise it up a bit. make it look stock with lowered looks. FYI, thats just too low and it fails rice/getto inspection.

Although i dont think its rice, its kinda ghetto.

Isn't riding on blown coilovers rather dangerous?

You should contact Kei Office, or maybe Drift Factory, as they have a good relationship with kei office, and they also speak English.

I'm sure that you can get older coilovers overhauled, but it's going to cost you a far sight more than $35. It will also, however, be worth it.

His wheels and lip are what give the "too low" image IMO. My car was like that too...and it was daily driven...I just watched where I drive. Also one of the coils is blown...well its what I assumed since the ride was "flat". Still not safe to drive...but hey he wanted the car lowered and its sparsely driven (I think).

it's all part of the learning process...

soon you'll learn that going cheap on parts comes back to bite you in the a$$, installing blown coilovers? Why go through all that labor to be worse off that you were before? That's as about as dangerous and as dumb as mounting bald tires when the previous ones had plenty of tread left.

all i'm saying is just raise it up a bit. besides, if you're going to keep the car for another 2 years or more, spending on new parts is well worth it.

i would raise it about 0.8 inches. just barely to the top of the tire. make sure it is visible a bit.
