Lowering Bits

OK,

I posted some pics about lowering HERE.

Look for Lowering Mods pics.
These are specific to the Skyline body, but the techniques can be adapted to other bodies.

E-mail me or post on the forum, if you got more questions!

My slammed Accord! Needs to be dropped in the back still!

the rear is hard to lower sometime, because the rear fender makes contact with your tires....slowing you down.
so u either have to thin out the inside of the fender or cut it higher...

I used .040 thick sheet styrene plastic (available at your LHS)
I used gel superglue to stick it on!

Check out this pic:
(pic belongs to d00kie, lowered tab idea to killboy)

It explains a lot! It's been dropped one layer, you can drop two layers if needed.

Or if you're lazy like me, you can just chop up something...in my case one of the lids for a prescription pill bottle. Just cut a rectangle out of it and then in half (cuz I did 2 layers) and shaped them so its a perfect match. I also used super glue.
