The Drop Thread - Lowered rides

[lazeez]

I just dropped my mehran, for front I used 660cc jdm car shocks but from back I seriously didnt knw what to do. After many suggestions I removed 2 pattian of kamani but I realized that it is too much dangerous so I didnt drive my car after removing them. What should I do now??

You can use blocks to raise your axle from the leaf springs which would drop the height. Do not use a block that is too high. Google for details.

Later I got Spindles & brakes of ES, which raised car from front by an inch or so. Previously I was facing rubbing issue now it's perfect.

I need some info on the brakes. What modification was required to fit Es's brakes? Both front and back ones were replaced? After the rotors ware replaced, did they alter the track of the car in any way? As in did the same wheels fit in the arches or did you have to get different offset ones? And which servo do you have?

I opted honda spindles / brakes to get rid of cut/weld axles as I was using honda gearbox.
U may call it major modification.
Lower ends of shock absorbers and ends of balancing rods were altered.
I am using same wheels which I was using earlier with et 40
Now it looks like wheel base at front has increased a little. i guess with 45 et wheels it ll come to previous position.
As told earlier ride height has increased at front by an inch or so.
I m using stock servo because of space limitations (mine has hydraulic clutch, it servo is installed in such a way that if I go for bigger brake servo i ll hv to relocate clutch servo as well) nevertheless it is working fine for me, no brake bias at all however paddle travel has increased slightly.
We tried a lot to replace rear discs as well but couldn't find any combination which can be installed in charade.

Later I found another upgrade

Even bigger rotors and callipers ll be installing them on next weekend.

If it requires too much modification, i guess i'll stick to the current gtti ones. I've got cross drilled gtti rotors at the front but one of them is very slightly warped and there's very slight vibration when braking at high speed, even after getting them faced. I'll just get new rotors. Those brakes look mouth watering

This is the reason I mentioned "major modification" in first place, but for me they are a decent & much needed upgrade because I was facing axels issues.

I don't think so that it is available in Pk

Yes these are front brakes out of EP and bolt on for ES civic.

You didn't see because I didn't post earlier
Got them last Sunday, installed just for testing and now I m loving them.

the tyres are a bit big iguess coz the rear wheels look weired coz 1. it is raised at front ( u should drop it as you are using coilovers hence u should maintain the ride height ) 2. the rims i guess have different offset due to which the camber now is more negative and the raise at front makes it look totally weired
but its one thing to look through photos its other thing to see the ride in person
