Suspension ?'s
Im sure this question has been asked but i didnt see it so here goes...
Im lookin to slam my teg project this summer without spending a shit load of money but need advice on suspension. I was planning to just buy ground control sleeves and adjust them on my stock struts around 3-3.5 inches. Ive eard 2sides to this..... 1. My shocks will be gone within months so its better to just upgrade struts the first time and 2. Ive read cases of people whove tried it and lasted almost 2 years.
Anyone tried this setup before? Any input?

NOTHING WILL RIDE GOOD ALL THE WAY DOWN.
Doesnt matter what you pick.
the control arms will be at such a severe angle that your springs/struts are doing little to nothing.
mine as well get ebay coilovers on stock struts

Re: Suspenison ?'s
Ok well if you want to slam it just use stock struts with ebay coils, no use buying good struts if your gonna blow them out by dumping it and not only will you fuck your struts up but you will also fuck your tires up in a few months ( or less ) from the amount of camber you will have..
Best option is to keep stock til you save up some money and get you some Megan racing coilovers ( my personal preference) which will run you about 149.99, get you some Kyb struts, and a blox racing upper control arm camber kit ( also about 150 bucks ) then when all is installed get yourself an alignment and you will have a nice and durable ride

Anytime you go as low possible without compensating you wear everything else out and at a very very fast rate
Ball joints
Bushings
Bearings
struts
Tires.
also, go up a wheel size. with hondas i like to run 16s for street.
