that's what i would've done. you get pulled over then say you're on your way to the exhaust shop to get it fixed.

OP, Are you looking for a good working car, or a hellaflush fanboy car? Lower doesn't always = better.

When you modify things to the extreme, you have to modify other parts of the car so the overall objective can be obtained.

Figure out what you want, to scrape lots and look cool to other teenage boy dreamers, or to have a functional car. Either way, you will have to put work into it, or money, or both.

Personally, I'd save up my hard earned cash to buy a 2nd hand welder and create stuff If I was you. Nothing better then building something with your own hands and making it work how you want.

cheers.

yea its a DD not wanting anything crazy low. I would love to weld my own shit, that would be badass. but to all the people that think im stupid are the real fucking idiots. read my ORIGINAL post. I KNOW my car is low. I KNOW my exhaust is low. All i ever wanted to know is how much thread is needed to be in the mount on the coilovers so i could raise the car high enough to safely drive the car to the shop. its really sad how unhelpful some of you are. why do you even open the post w/o expecting to be helpful. i guess everybody isn't like me, i open a thread EXPECTING to provide an answer that will help the OP. if i had somebody else to ask TRUST ME i would ask them first. its like you guys sign on hoping to find somebody with a problem that you can bash. im not a tough guy flexing my internet muscles, but most of you Zilvians are major homos.

Thanks for the legit answers tho!

Lol really? Didn't know a set of coilovers that takes 2 hours to install was "modifying to the extreme".

Other teenage boy dreamers? If you paid any attention you would realize that the dude is a grown ass man. Get a life bro go "flame some noobs man!"

I know i'm beating a dead horse here, but what the...what?

Raise it. Use these things human beings have called eyes, and decide if you think you can drive it. It's not rocket science haha.

I don't get it.

omg dude just think about it. do you have coilovers? the threaded pipe threads into a sleeve that mounts to the spindle. how much of that has to be threaded in to safely drive it. BUT THAT ANSWER WAS GIVEN. i didnt know if these coilovers would goto the stock height. if i had to just DECIDE if it was ok then wtf is the point of a car forum?! my exhaust if low as fuck and it will have to go kinda high to be drivable, not just a couple turns dude. please lock this onslaught of retardation.

Hey look another smart-ass internet tough-guy douchebag!

bigs · 02-29-2012, 01:55 PM

Oh my, hahaha.

Just forget I said anything, I don't want to mess with the Arkansas crew.

I guess we all have to start somewhere.

If the car is low and exhaust is scraping, that is what I would call extremely low and not safe for the application.

I was not flaming anyone. Just pointing out that lower doesn't = better. I'm sorry if I offended you and the trend you may choose follow.

Frankly, it would appear that some people don't realize that a problem like this is fixed by the OP getting under his car wrenching or modifiying, or paying someone to do it for him. There is no help the internet could give on this matter.

Thread count? Really?

Just research coilovers by a search engine and you might read about pre-loading springs, and such. There is a lot of valuable information out there.

...the answer to this question, was to raise the car back up, or modify the exhaust.

If that is considered being a dbag, then I guess I'm one.
