I dont like the black door trim, but everything else looks great!

 

one word......lower....

 

Looks perfect as it is. In my personal opinion, lower isn't always better.

 

gosh i love that spoiler and the hood looks great, nice choice of wheels as well and great paint! I hate the black trim, shave it and you be all set. Beautiful car

 

One fine Iroc-z.

IMO it looks like a s-10 with camaro body. Lower that thing! LOL, just a thought, but I like lowered camaros. Prokit would do you good, its just right, not too low. It will help set off your aggressive look.

 

nah dont listen to ORR , dont lower it, just shave the trim and thats it! Jmo, but whatever floats your boat

 

I still think you should lower it. LOL nick's just jelous cuz he cant mod his car much.

 

looks great!! needs some 5% tint though

 

lol im not jealous hes just jealous cuz ORR didnt get his honda perlude


by the way what kinda rims are those 1 badroc?

 

I have no idea what nick is talking about. LOL

I do like your rims too. They are snypers arent they? I want them in 18's.

 

nice lookin ride

and if you don't want to lower it, don't do it......I'll never listen to the 'lower-it' board *****:lala:

 

looks pretty good.

itd look better with some dark *** tint

 

yep, dont have to lower it if you dont want to. But since your considering it, the eibach pro kit cuz it lowers it 1.5 inch or so which is just perfect. Any lower and it aint practical. unless you live in a flat area.

Not only will it improve looks, it greatly improves handling as well.

 

If your even interested in the lowering the car then go for the sportlines. The prokits are good but only do the job half way in my opinion. I went with the prokits and wish I had went with the sport lines. Unless the roads where you live are really bad or this is your only car and you live in weather harsh areas go for the lowest. My car with prokits never even comes close to scraping - at times when I think I would be trouble i look under the car to realize I still have room to go lower. Just my

 

hes right it does handle better when lowered


Not better then a Prelude tho, eh

 

Never driven a prelude so i dont know how they handle.

My prokit scrapes often. I killed a rabbit one day with the air dam!! He went right under the car and i felt it slam the airdam. I have hit a road kill raccoon with my underneath air dam/y-pipe so maybe my kit lowered a bit more than others. Now everytime I see an animal dead, I got to swerve out of the way completely. Only on larger animals tho like coons and ground hogs. I got about 3.5 - 4 inches of clearance in tightest areas.

Pic of my car at side angle. It could be lower in rear, but the front air dam is low. At slight inclines or dips the nose will rub the ground. Just be carefull.

 

I swerve anyhow, can stand the thought of all those gnats and bugs swarming over the dead animal splatting on my bumper

I think it looks perfect but he won't listen to his brother
I'm trying to get his supercharger project done and he wants to lower it HAHA

 

i dont understand tho why lower a 3rd gen more?? I mean, yesterday when i brought it to the car show, my car scraped after hittin a speed bump. There already low why lower more? Well the roads here in MASS suck. Thank g*d there was no damage, It happen twice to me.


Orr likes Preludes i love Civics

 

Not no more tho! I got a Irocz! :lala:

 

The rims are 17x9 ROH Snypers. Wish i coulda got them in 18s

The more post i read on here about the problems with lowering it, the more i dont wanna do it. We'll see, im thinkin id rather spend the money and get this supercharger project done, it seems to be a never ending project

 

actually you still looks great even if it isnt 18s. I love those Snyper rims! Honestly, if you wanna lower it, then go for it. Its your car and you can do anythin you want. I was just givin some ideas. I think are 3rd gens are low enuff ( atleast the 91-92 Z28s)

 

Lower it a little - but ya don't have to slam it.

If you don't, you'll have all of your lowered thirdgen buddies tellin' ya how dirty the underside of your mirrors are.

 

what you need is window tint for sure... a car isnt a car without some good dark tint... also you could (mask) paint your turn signals with a design hides some of the yellow and still looks pimp.. ill post pics of what im talking about.. cant get my digi cam right now... also you should shave door handles if you really want to get detailed...

those are just my opinions...
dont take my advice.

 

Yes, if your gonna lower it, do it with prokit or similar 1" drop or so. It looks great, feels great and is high enough to not have problems. Sportlines are like 2" or more drop. Thats low.

Those 17's look great tho. I want Zr1's so I can get 11" wide out back but if I can afford those 315 tires. LOL

Tint would be alright too, but make sure it is smoke grey/black color and doesnt fade to purple. UGHHH I hate purple tint on cars!!

 

I agree, i may just tint the windows and leave the springs alone.

Good idea but i cant affort to put much more in this car lol

 

Make sure the tint is well done. if it isnt it will look tackey and make your car look like a$$. Every thing looks good so far, dont ruin it with poor quality tint.

Eibachs run 240 in summit. I got mine on ebay for 180 new so just for your information. If you want to save money.

 

I agree with lowering it and ditching the side trim moldings, but also ditch the IROC decals. Its not technically an IROC anymore with an SS hood and Z28 spoiler, plus it'll look a lot cleaner without all of the clutter. JMO

 

Ditch the IROC-Z decals? are you crazy!?!? Just because your an RS I have an 88 iroc and i have the high rise and the 91-92 gfx's and an ss hood. BUT IM STILL AN IROC-Z!!:lala:

 

Quick lowering job

Your car looks sweet, I wouldn't change it!

 

Your car looks very, very nice. I love the wheels, hood, and spoiler (I want to get the same hood/spoiler as a matter of fact).

I'm in the same boat as you.. I bought different wheels, and now I need to lower my car.

I think I'll end up getting the Sport-Line springs... they lower it 1.3" rear and 1.6" front. Thunder racing has them on sale until thursday so I think I'll order them tomorrow.

Lowering Springs

Here's a pic of my car so show it's stance as of now

 

Watch out with sportlines!!! Im doin a whole rebuild on my 92 RS. I bought sportlines put them in and lowered the rear end and woah! Rear end was very very close to the ground . I sent the sportlines back and bought the prokit. I wish I coulda kept the sportline fronts though because I lost a lot of front end weight with the all aluminum engine, tubular kmember, tubular a-arms, ect...

Your car looks sweet, it will look good with a prokit but still looks good if you dont want to spend 250 or so bucks. Definatly keep 17's, 18's can look good, but if you decided to make the car faster, traction can be and issue with 18s.

 

The difference between the prokit and the sporlines is like a half inch or something - not that drastic. The prokits sort of lower the car. I know on my car - another .5 to .75 inches in the front would help a little more - and another .5 inches in the back would as well. Most clearance issues for me would not change much with such small differences but would look more agressive.

 

Ahh i was gonna get snipers but now everybody and his brother have them. I dunno what to get.

 

I cant ever remember driving down the road and seeing any thirdgen with snypers, heck there is only a handfull of people on here that run snypers. There are plenty of other good looking rims out their too, but everybody and there brother prolly have them too BTW chomp, your car looks sweet, wish i woulda went with those rims, just a lil tooo much $ tho. Let me know what springs you went with.

 

I mean alot of people on this board have them. Also about the sportlines bein low in the back why didnt you just buy 4th gen rear isolators.

 

I've been debating the same question for sometime. My sportlines are going on this weekend.

While I'm at it what else should I change strut bearings are on the list. I was thinking about pulling the a-arms and putting poly or del-a-lum bushings in. Wha'da yall think?
