Is it possible to tell how low the car is from the OEM height?

Also I live in Detroit and the roads are kinda crappy with lots of potholes or bumps...even on Highways....I was just wondering....If I should even go with a car that has been lowered....

Thanks.

Also.....is it possible to tell if the standard suspension has been changed since it looks like the wheel size has been changed....and does this car look like it has a body kit on.....if so is this good or bad.....sorry for posting so many questions...its my first owned car so im a bit excited...YAY!

 

Should be fine..... looks like stock suspension to me.... with bigger wheels.

Your buying an 09 as your first car?

...Mistake.

 

Welll!!!!......theres 07 here and 08 here..........I'm swaying more on the 08 looking at the Carfax report......both certified..... don't want to go too old but Im open to suggestion

 

look, save yoru money and get a cheap beater.. you WILL scratch and dent up the car. your just learning. everyone told me that and i said no, i turned down a chevy celeberty for free and spent a few grand on my civic, then what do you know, wrecked it several of times. everyone needs to learn somewhere, get a beater, thats what nike was trying to say..

the car dosent look lowered to me, but it does look like ugly *** aftermarket sideskirts.. if those are OEM, then i would look into swapping them with something more clean.

 

Ohhh!!!! that's what he meant.....my bad I didn't understand sorry!....man supersize like you said I would have definitely gone with a beat *** car if I was a new driver.....but I have been driving my parents Honda CR-V for 3 years now my parent were so close to the work place that they practically walked....but situation has changed where that option is no more feasible.....that is why Im looking into a car that's more recent...still im all into saving some green.....would have gone with an older 03 car but I will be getting full coverage insurance so it would cost more to insure than a newer car plus I would have a better resale value....

 

don't get what they tell you to get enigma, lol. whatever car you like you should get. and like you said, you've been driving for about 3 years now..sounds experience enough right? look into it if you want it badly, but if you do want a 92-95 or 96-00 or even the newer gens go all for it. just don't do this to your car

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Nice find.....man for some reason that reminded me of the retro cartoons (M.A.S.K.....googled it..lol) my bro had....just those doors should open like this....and hes all set....

 

umm jayvee dont make fun of that car
it gets more mpg than u can imagine

 

i was just about to say, dont hate cause u dont get 80mpg

 

how am i directly stating that the 92-95 5th generation civics are "funny.?"

and how am i "hating.?"

all i did guys was post a pic of a civic that was poorly admired
(and advising enigma not to fall in that owners steps,lol)
