Default Crappier ride?

I'm using tanabes lowering srping on my box. Its lowered 2.2 in the front and 2.0 inches in the rear.
They ride its crappy, i was wondering if i go any lower my cutting the spring even more to remove the gaps between the wheel and the fender. how much worse can it get?

That sounds like a really bad idea. I couldn't tell you what would happen, though.

if you want a really crappy ride you could always do like those Civic guys and take out the cushy stuff. Then you could be like a "real racer." My friend's civic was literally shaking itself to pieces. Crappy enough for ya?

The lower you go, the crappier it's going to get. The fact that you're riding on 18s means that you have a pretty thin sidewall, so you're going to feel the bumps.
Cutting the spring will pretty much ensure that you never want to drive your car again.

Cutting the springs would just make the ride worse. 18's don't help it either. I would recommend that you replace the shocks/sturts with some Monroes. (thats what I did and I love the ride.)

yea i figure that . I was just thinking about it. I should just coilover it.
I just hate the gaps between the wheel and fender. i was to go the lowest i can w/ a good ride.
I was also thinking about air suspension. that would be alot better then stock.

Cheapest route would be to get bigger tires, i have 225/40 /18 with the df210 and it rides perfect

I just put on some df210s with echo struts and it rides beautiful. But, I am rolling on 15x8 with stock tires so I have some cushion. :D
