Lowering?
 

What's the cheapest/best way to lower my car? I have an 05 EX Coupe.
HELP!!!

RE: Lowering?
 

probably to go with just lowering springs right? $100-200? H&R good?

RE: Lowering?
 

kinda stupid question...but is it OK to put aftermarket springs on your stock shocks?


And has anyone ever heard of Sprint springs? are they any good?

RE: Lowering?
 

Tein S-techs. 1.6 inch drop, smooth ride, better handling. They work with your stock shocks. I have them and I love em.

my friend has sprint springs..not the best, but he likes him..but go for the s-tech, cheap, VERY good company and they work with your stock sturts (they say that in the add)..have mine on for over a year and there great..

5 links from people that have already installed them on here, myself, mynmisoli, 97_nw, x2100 and 05 civic

How low should I go? Is 2 inches too low?

And I don't know if I wanna get 17" rims or just dump it on my stock fat 5's? I do kinda like my stock rims though...i dunno...any opinions?

RE: Lowering?
 

2 inch drop will still ride good, handle, look pretty good. with 17's rims anda lowered look should look very shweet

RE: Lowering?
 

2 inch drop will require upgrade of shocks/struts, which will run you about another 300-400 on top of the springs.

RE: Lowering?
 

Why can't I just put 2inch drop springs on my stock shocks?

RE: Lowering?
 

Bc you'll blow them out; your stock shocks were not designed to handle the pressure of a 2" drop. The added pressure of knocking 2" off your springs would cause the shocks to explode the first time you whipped the car around a turn or hit a pothole, etc. Oh and the S-techs are a 1.3" drop for the 7th gens not 1.6".
