shocks completely bottomed out.. HELP!
Permalink  
 


hey so i have shocks off a dc integra (came with my ground controls) and i modified the back ( cut the cup, flipped the coilover) and theyre bottomed out now.. on the front im running just coilover spring, and cut the bump stops. i also have a front camber kit and its resting on my shock tower... now the shock is completely bottomed out. no shock travel at all. and now my cars jacking points are right under 2 inches.. love the way its looking but rides like sh!t.. i know i could buy konis and extended top hats but i cant afford it right now... but is there anything i can do as of right now.. i  was thinking making my own extended top hats.. and get shorter shocks?.   i need advice so yeah help me out! johns car 2.jpgjohns car 3.jpgjohns car.jpg

a shorter shock body would definately help.. even the top hats would be a great help. i dont recommend using camber kit up front its too bulky.. you can get lower using oem
