No no no, research!
Roll centre adjusters, steering arm raisers, shorter steering arms all bring the the steering arms and LCAs back to standard heights.
Mine handled amazingly and it was a good 55 - 60mm

Well with all that you're not just "lowering it" are you? Clearly just wants it low for ghettoness, so I very much doubt RCA's would be top the agenda. And it would still look shite that low.

John any help you need with lowering that amount hit me up.
Mine was this height - and as said above the handling was outstanding. Turn in and control was great. I know some good geo settings for them too!

From the centre of the wheel to the top of the arch it was 56mm i believe. When we set the rake we measured standard to reset it lowered. So it 100% is

Where in this thread have i slagged his car or life??Ive gave my opinion.If the pictures werent fuzzy,and actually showed the work he has put into it,maybe i would have gave a better comment.All i can make out is a standard CTR thats had a wash.Pretty much the same as what was posted when he got the car.
And why would i need people skills on a car forum??Im not here to make friends.

there are 3 fuzzy pics out of 17, the pics i posted last week where 3 from a distance, these where taken with a standard use digi cam that cost about 50 last year.im not a photographer, however i am capable of getting some ok shots but why bother on a standard car. all i wanted was to show the marks on seats and paint faid are all but gone. also wanted to show bits that need immediate attension, tyre, wheels, dent, chips............

My civic is lowered about 90-100mm and it handles like a crock o'shit. That said, I'm sure on a smooth road 55-60mm would be fine IMO.
