whats up every one...well,i've posted pics of it before on here,its a 93 civic ex/coupe,i got it lowered yesterday for about $340,about 3 inches :O ! ..****,haha yeah...a lil too much?or no?i live in california,in a city,no gravel or nothing like that where i live.i'll post pictures in a bit,i just wanna know what you guys think?it's sitting on 14 inch wheels(185-60-14),i wanted to get bigger wheels(15's or 16's)but after i saw it dropped,i liked how it looks now...the only prob now,is...when i got the cat back exhaust,.the muffler guys didnt do a very good job,the pipe is kinda tilted n lower than the rest of the body/frame...it kinda touched on the ground a while ago.i just started a job at a performance/wheel/tire shop 2-3 weeks ago,and gonna talk to the muffler guy n see whats up,and what he can do...i personally like how it looks,but i wanna see what u guys think(does that sounds stupid?lol)..thanks for checking this thread out..

 

and heres a pic from the backside,so u guys can see what im talking about,the muffler people did a poor job...






sorry the car's dirty,washed it last week,and they're doing construction on my street(putting sidewalk and all that),and the dust got stuck to it,i think lol

 

Looks real nice. On that part thats hanging lower you can just install a muffler hanger, and hold it up higher.

 

thanks man,for real .....where can i get a muffler hanger?do they go screwed on or welded?..im gonna ask the muffler guy at work tomorrow and see what he thinks and what can be done about that

 

You can buy them at any auto parts store, they have different styles. theres rubber ones, and also some metal ones that you can install yourself.

 

alright,thanks man,ima check that out,i doubt i can install it myself,i'd need to put the car up on a rack

 

as for the rim question....i would get some bigger rims. Maybe 16's. The car looks great, but i think a slightly bigger rim with some lower profile tire will really set it off

 

i wanted to get 15's or 16's,i talked to my dad,he told me,if i get bigger wheels,the tire will just be rubbing on the car...so he made me change my mind lol ..what you guys think?...then,i was thinking on gettin another set of 14's,some that look good for a cheap price,and just be changing the wheels once in a while,to give it a different look,just jack the car up,and put them on,and change them again every now and then...maybe every 6 months or so? lol.sounds wack?what you think?

 

You can get a bigger rim with a skinnier tire and it will be the same size as you have on there right now

 

Check out this link. You put in your current tire size and then the tire size on the new tires, and it will tell you how much bigger or smaller the overall diameter is, and even the difference in speedometer readings from the tire size change. Make sure you don't get rims/tires that are too wide because that's where you'll have some rubbing issues for sure. I would try to get 15's, maybe 16's if I were you.
