anybody have coilover sleeves i can borrow?

[Howard Hu]

i need it to raise my car despreately, i tried using the rubber blocks...but it only raised it like 3/4 of an inch, and i still failed the vi =(...so i think coilover sleeves might help..anybody have them laying around so i can borrow them? i dont need the springs just the sleeves

if somebody could it'll be greatly appreciated =)

hey how much did you lower your car anyways? How many inches?  If i lower mine 1.5 inch with Eibach Pro springs, I shouldnt have to get a VI right?

[Howard Hu]

well i RAISED it by like 3/4 of an inch...and im sitting at 22 3/4 inches apparently, so im one more inch from passing..

Mine is down 2".

I measured the heights needed and I am ok, so you should be too.

Since when is there a hieght that the car has to be?  I thought the rule was no part of the car could be below the lowest part of the rim?  

Mind you, there are min and max rules for headlight and bumper hieght.

When they redesigned the DSM for the 2G, they dropped it 2" (I think I remember reading that somewhere) which means your dropped car, is the same height as his stock one.  Beautiful, ain't it?

Ya 2gs are 1.4" lower in height and an inch less clearance than an Eagle TSI (under .8" for Lasers).

The 1Ga also gains a little on the headlight requirements due to the pop-ups having a higher center (and this is the one that gets us first)

My ESi was down 4" but it bottomed out too much..

Remember, you can gain almost 1" in vehicle height with bigger tires too (ie 205/55 vs 235/55 = almost 1" taller) - It may be easier to swap 4 wheels for a day.
