My Solution For My Car Being To Low...

[fcukinky]

So after my car was lowered (Still over 10cm off the ground) I had trouble getting my jack under the car in the front to jack it up.

I had a look and there was only 2 options, one was to get the low profile ramps but that was going to cost around $100 the other was to get someone to cut me some planks of wood into ramps.

I did not want Planks of wood in the boot of my car so I ened up with these:

Anyways I guess this may not be the solution for everyone but for the few people that may also be looking into a solution I thought I would share.

Haha you think you've got problems, I need to drive up on chocks to be able to fit a low-profile jack under the car

Solution:

Worth every penny!

[Hanaldo]

Yeh... Wouldn't fit under mine ^

Should really raise it up a bit, as good as it looks it's really pretty silly.

[Run-It-Hard]

How low is your car? They've fit under all mine. Where are you jacking from?

Must be doing something wrong man!

If you can't jack your car with one of these you should own a Honda

Doesn't fit under the side of my car lol. I can't fit my iPhone4 between my front bumper and the ground

Fits under the diff at the back but no room to jack it up, have to drive up onto chocks.

I bought some of the caravan ramps a while back but only used them once and never bothered again. Not fun to get up with a twin plate!

Srs.

Raised it up 20mm this morning, this is how it sits now:

Keep in mind that's without the front lip fitted, makes it about an inch lower.

Needs moar low.

[Hanaldo]

Really? Is that your truck-spec 34 in your sig? I joke I joke

Doesn't look as good but it was stupid before. Lowered it for a car show and couldn't be bothered raising it up again after. It used to scrape if I went around a corner too fast

[Idaten]

Oh trust me, I cop it from all sides for that.

Obviously I was being sarcastic though, I'm pretty damn impressed with that clearance.

What suspension have you got under that thing?

Haha yeh all good mate, was just joking

I've got the BC Racing BR series coilovers on it. The front ones were maxed out before, the rear could still go another 60-70mm lower Am much happier with the current clearance though, can actually drive it properly.

BC's, good for low

Did the install on mine at home, front's first got them pretty low, then the rears, was a little drunk by then and they got wound ALL the way down, just to see what they looked like. Looked boss but clunked and scraped on every little bump or loose piece of gravel on the road so they did eventually come up some.

But damn it did look good.

The 33's must be a lot different to the 34's then, there is no way in hell that the rears could go all the way down on my car without a lot of modification. Now that I think about it, the rears must have a lot more than 60-70mm still to go because the upper control arm assembly was coming into contact with the inner guard and wheel with at least 70mm of thread to go.

Mmmm yes coopers sparkling ale solves all my problems and is definately worth the $$$ haha

It was on 19's at the time, I'm not sure it would go all the way down on 17's and you can't wind them collar to collar, they stop winding before the thread does, I think to get them lower than that you need to shorten stroke length from the top.
