well I have eibach sportlines on my s14. i think the drop is 1.8 all around. well anyways if i am not careul some speed bumps smash my tranny. I have seen a red 91 hatch with the slammed look and it looked geh. the poor bastard looks like he bottoms out on small dips in the road. anyways its totally up to you how much you drop your car, just know that the lower u go the bigger pain in the ass the car will be to drive.

[SilviaDriver]

how low can you go? as low as the ground will let you..i have eibach sportline on koni adjustables, good shit

Ask driftnpanda (danny) about slamming your car, he has plenty of experience. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> &nbsp;... just cut your stock springs, it's the cheapest, easiest way to slam your car! Better yet, why don't you just take the springs out completely! Lowest ride you'll ever get.

Nah. Seriously, don't cut your springs (or take them out). Get a good set of sleeved springs ("coil over" springs) and mate them to a good shock and you should be set.

hookedup240, Where is the show that you got all those pictures on your web site from? &nbsp;I sure as hell want to go.

If you get full coil overs just to slam your car, your just pissing money out the window. Handling is obviously not a concern for you. No one wants to hear another lecture, about why "slamming" your car is dumb. Just get some ground controls, crank them all the way down, and off you go. The fact that your shocks blow after a couple of months, won't matter much, because your car won't have the suspension travel to use them anyway. Just keep it under 60mph and everything will be A-OK.

I can tell you sport lines will not "slam" your car. For the amount they lower the car, they are far too soft. I have sport lines and Tokico HTS shocks, and am looking to upgrade soon.

i got tein HE and i could slam my car but i hate scraping. when i bump up my spring rates (9/7 or 10/8) next year and maybe get larger wheels, i'd consider it but rather not...

im lazy too much work adjusting coilovers..leave it be..

u really want to slam your car, do as uuninja said: buy ground controls and stock up on stock or extra shocks, because you'll need it.

[HippoSleek]

bagz, dubz, and kitz - you need all three to achieve the look.

Most of the pictures on my site are from the funk flex car show that was held at raceway park in august i think.

no way man, that's a waste of GC's!
he could just get some shite OBX coilover sleeves or some other ricer brand and have the look he wants for much cheaper than getting actual ground control's <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Obviously performance is not his deal, so OBX or APC, etc would be fine.... I think they also come in different colors! bling bling y0!

A nice set kit will help you a lot in that "slammed" look. I helped a friend put some gc's and koni's in his jetta. We dropped it all the way down for pictures, and damn it was dumped. After he put his kit on, it was resting on the side skirts. Obviously you don't want to drive it this way.

Go for some more performance style springs/struts or coilovers, and just get a kit. That will give the low look, and drive nicely too. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Driftin_240sx]
