cmamtower Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 How the hell did you get a 4.5" drop out of lowering springs? Tein coilovers don't even allow that much drop OP... How much are you willing to spend? We can give you multiple options once you give us a price point do not know, but my car compared to a stock civic, is around 4 inches lower, just going by what i see. lol apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too. Vehicle: 1997 Honda Civic EX Exterior: 55w 5k Headlights and 35w 3k JDM Fogs. Lowered.

Superjay Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 you'll need springs and upper adjustable knuckles to prevent extreme tire wear. Moog makes a really good set for not much money Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjay Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Eibach makes a good set of lowering springs, as does Neuspeed for that year civic ... you'll pay less than $200 a set for either of them. add the Moog knuckles and a set of macpherson struts to that and you're right on budget Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug118 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Do the front wheels on the red car look like they have camber? Why would he buy an oem replacement strut with lowering springs? He might as well just put them on his struts 2001 Tahoe.

mikes819 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 If I decide to go with the Ground Control and Koni combination will I need to purchase a front and rear camber kit in addition, or does the Ground Control combination allow for adjustment? And any other information regarding what else I will have to do once I install them because if I drop 890 dollars I don't really want to have to upgrade much else besides realigning the car after I drop it. Also what are the recommended spring ratings for that set-up if anyone knows off the top of their head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has almost no camber running that low. The spring rates all depends on how low you want to go. edit: You have a PM. I found a really good deal on the setup 2001 Tahoe.

kingleo Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I just picked up a set of skunk 2 pro s v2 coilovers today, and can't wait to get rid of the eBay crap the previous owner had installed. I have heard only great things about the koni/gc combo. But if you don't want any tire wear dePending on the size of your wheels you should get a camber kit. They are cheap and will save your tires. Also stock struts can't handle the more aggressive spring rates of lowering springs so they will give out. Right now I can hear the oil from my struts when I push the car down. Like the rest have said do it right the first time. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/77708-2002-millenia-system-re-build/page__view__findpost__p__1070977__hl__%2Bmazda+%2Bmillenia__fromsearch__1 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110130-2000-acura-integra-gs-4-door/page__view__findpost__p__1536749__hl__%2Bmazda+%2Bmillenia__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nautical7 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Lowering a stock civic or what? Maybe I'm the only one but lowering a car without wheels looks terrible. I would've just replaced the stock suspension and saved your money, but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
