Thread: so i lowered my car

newb...haha ok there old man, your a badass man...so i read your all mighty suspension thread...pretty much your one of those guys that say anything other than oem is junk...you have like one set of springs that YOU say is the best....everything else is junk...granted im a mechanic and i know OEM is the way to go but damn....im a child haha damn i didnt know being a 21 yr was a child...but the way your talking down to me like your ****ing jesus, talking to me like im a dumbass, and i was being a smart ass....you say i better watch my attitude like i give a ****...u have your opinion and i have mine, but just because u have been on this forum or more post than me doesnt make you THE ****ING MAN...

and some advise to you, "jesus" of suspension...to get respect you have to give respect...and talking down to me and pretty much calling me a dumbass for my decisions is disrespectful...

No you didn't. If you had read the thread, you would not have bought those stupid f*cking Megan springs.

You would also know that The Suspension Thread is the collective knowledge of the suspension experts on this forum.


You never read the thread. You are an unadulterated idiot, and a liar.


Just because you are a mechanic does not mean you understand the suspension geometry of a B13.

The springs you chose prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.


I've got an air-rifle older than you sonny.

You childish responses are a firm indicator of your mental age.


You were in fact being an ungrateful smartass, after I was being nothing but helpful. Re-read the posts idiot. They are right there in black and white.

You apparently expect nothing but melba-toast responses and a round of Kumba-ya every time you post?


Once again, you are putting words in my mouth.

Nor are my statements "opinions", they are facts. If you had read the Suspension Thread, you would know that what I stated is factual, and you would not have bought those stupid Megan Racing springs.

You are already making enemies, with your childish, defensive, ignorant responses, and complicating matters by lying through your teeth. Folks that may have helped you in the past will not be willing to do so in the future.


I never disrespected you, nor did I ever call you a dumbass in my initial post. Reading comprehension owns your silly, stupid, immature ass.

I merely provided you with the dry facts of the matter. It was not until AFTER you responded with your immature, defensive, lies and bullsh*t in Post #9 that we got sideways Twinkles.

You deserve those wonderful Megan Racing springs. Enjoy them and the terrific ride. They are wonderful, and you are a f*cking suspension genius. Keep on buying parts at random that degrade the performance of your vehicle because you are a defensive, idiotic, reading challenged, ignorant, wise-ass, immature jackass.

Welcome to the forum.

hands down your the ****ing man, im honered to be in the same thread as you...im sorry i didnt read YOUR suspension thread before making MY choice, sometimes the way people write things on a forum comes across wrong because you cant tell the tone of voice they are using and in your case it seemed like you were talking down to me. the end, i honestly dont care if people dont respond to me in my posts, i dont care, i gonna sleep just as good each night or in my car with my junk ass suspension... thanks and have a great life sir

Likewise honored.

If I am the "F*cking Man" then you must be "Newb Of The Year." We should get nametags.


No need to apologize.

You have the right to buy whatever you like, no matter how bad or ignorant a choice of aftermarket parts.

I have the right to respond to your thread in any manner I see fit. In a helpful, dry, factual, manner, including links if I so choose.


My first post was 100% facts. Nothing more.


Bullsh*t.

You'll be wondering why you got ZERO replies, just like any other forum member would wonder "Gee, I got no responses from my last five threads, what the f*ck is up?".

How you sleep is up to you.


Well, if you are merely sitting still in your driveway, the car shouldn't be bouncing off the bumpstops, it will be just sitting on them. You won't lose the back-end when the suspension bottoms out completely on a bump mid-curve sending you into the bushes. Your fillings will not be rattling out of your head on anything but glass smooth roads, your driveway is probably pretty flat and smooth. And thankfully, sleeping in the vehicle will not allow the Megan springs to f*ck up and overly stress your OEM suspension components while you are stationary.

You should be pretty safe, comfortable, and not doing any additional harm by sleeping in your Classic.


You are most welcome sir.

Same to you.

Shawn has a lot of respect from lots of people on this forum. He has taken the time to assemble mass amounts of knowledge for people like you and me to find out what works.

Im not here to take sides but when someone offers you information i would take it. If you agree with it or not, at least read and understand the info before just blasting back.

Thats all i have to say, just read a little before asking questions next time.

Lunchbox, quite honestly just about anything other then OEM is Junk. OEM parts are well thought through, tested, and well engineered to last a long time. A lot of aftermarket is made out of cheaper parts, piss poor designs that barely fit in, then work piss poor.

Now you are fairly new on this forum, we don't know what background you come from or what you know. The only thing we know is what you show us, your grammar knowledge and your inability to capitalize and make more then one paragraph. You said your a mechanic, but all we see is a 16 year old that just got here from my space.

Shawn B is a very respected forum member, he has own his Classic SE-R from the day he drove it off the lot. Shawn B has been on the forums before you were even walking. On top of that he knows his stuff when it comes down to suspension talk.

Face it, you screwed up, you have GR2's, not even AGX's, and some no brand Megan Racing springs. Heck I drove my boosted Sentra for 8 months before I took out the OEM and installed a much better suspension. It took me a while to research and decide what was right for my car.

Take this as a grain of salt and shape up your attitude or you will be spending some time away until you learn to talk to people like a grown up.

I remember a story I heard once about a horse and a river. Something about BDSM and drinking? I dunno.. Seemed relevant at the time.

Actually if i remember correctly Vadim... Shawn Bs suspension thread is a collection of information by Shawn gathered from other well respected members such as steve 98sr20ve who does the beam bending and other stuff for our cars. Ive talked to Steve countless of times prior to my getting suspension set up and he pointed me to what i ended up going with as the best possible set up for me. Shawn Bs thread isnt information from Shawns head. I believe even Shawn states so in his thread that he does not know alot about suspension and that he is not really mechanically inclined. His thread is a very very well put together thread regarding suspension bits though. But alot of the shock spring info is more b13 biased.

And to the original poster. Get better shocks and springs. The springs are too short and too soft. Bottoming out is what youre probably doing and if your shocks arent blown then they will be pretty soon. Road magnets and kyb agxs would probably be your cheapest bet for a decent set up that will keep you off your bumpstops.

Yes I am well aware of that, but by gathering that information, and then properly organizing, you either start learning that stuff, or you already know what goes where.

Shawn might not be mechanically inclined, but doesn't mean he is not book smart
