:P am i able to lower my 96 dx?
its still got the factory shocks on it but i didnt know if it was possible to drop it a little and if its even a good idea

 

That would be a resounding yes. Better handling, etc, etc.

 

yes you can. Some springs are better with the stock struts. i hear tein stechs are good. But if possible...buy new struts as well because the more you drop it on stock struts, the better chance they blow out

 

Yes, you should be able to drop a '96 DX. Whether or not it's a good idea depends on how you want to use the car.

I'd recommend adjustable coilovers, especially if you may want to raise the car for snow clearance in the winter. You will want aftermarket struts if you drop it much.

 

its an everyday used car drive to work and school
its not like im f1 racing hitting turn 90 mph just want it lower better aero and looks.

 

Like people said, you can do it with just springs, but getting aftermarket struts is advisable

 

yeah ill eventually get thestruts. but for right now all i can do is mess with springs.


ive never done it before is there anything i need to know before lowering it?
and how would i go about lowering it?

thanks for the quick replys btw

 

There are a lot of websites to purchase from, or if you are uncomfortable working on it youself, your local mechanice should be able to do springs no problem. I think on of the stickies has a link to another forum where the guy lists spring rates for a bunch of Hondas, and the types of springs that fit them.

I have a 99, which I think had the same trim levels and suspension. I'm torn between eibach Sportlines and Tein S-Techs at the moment.

 

yea dude no problem. Honestly, i have tein stech springs on right now (struts are waiting to be put on) and the ride is really not that much worse than stock. Just google DIY springs because there are a TON out there. Besides, once you get under there, its pretty straight forward i think

 

alright sounds good thanks man.
