Civic 00 EX coupe, the car is completly stock! (finally found one), Im going to change the belt and pump then im going to order lowering springs and rims, Im going to start with appearance then do my research on the parts for speed , also this will get me comfortable driving a stick. Ive driven my dads 500hp mustang but i think this will be quite a bit different. Anywho!!!

Thats what im looking at so far. Dont flame me, im pretty new to this game. Its staying unriced so i think ill redeem myself by mentioning that . Allright well get back to me, Im eager to hear opinions regarding lowering and pricing.

As im know there are 3 ways to lower, Coilover coilcover and springs am I right? If you disagree with springs can you please tell me what you would suggest and why.

Thanks

 

ALSO! Say I wanted to get a 1.5"lowering, what size rims would look nice with this? I see alot of dorky looking cars out there where there lowering and rims dont match. I was thinking 16"rims for a 1.5 lowering?

 

i prefer coilovers over lowering springs because its adjustable. you can set your cars height the way you prefer and if you change your mind then you can chage your height.

 

Allright thank you very much for your suggestion I'll look into them.

 

Wow, looks good, just got done looking at the Skunk2 Coilovers, fairly cheap also.

 

you think just finding a stock civic is hard, try finding a stock WHITE 2000 ex. i had fun to say the least.

as for the springs, i will always recommend Eibach springs to anyone. I am thoroughly happy with mine. and the pro kit springs are about a 1.5 inch drop. If you decide to go the coilover route, then i would suggest looking into Ground Control. The spring portion is made by Eibach and are really good quality coilovers.

as for wheel size, i think that either 15s or 16s look best, but not any bigger. getting 16s with 205/45 r16 tires would be the best setup IMO.

 

Oh and by the way im paying for all my stuff myself so think, cheapER. I dont want straight up **** but something nice, if you have rim suggestions put them here also, pics will be taken as it builds up . Im working off of about 1500 for now. the car was 4700. Hmmm, think 17 year old kid budget

 

Yea i couldnt for the life of me find a white one Sig! So i stuck with black. . Anywho, thank you very much for your suggestion. Ill look into ground control. Thank you for telling me the best looking rimsizes also.

 

How about this. http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...Silver%20Gloss

So 712+285= $1000, then take the rest and throw it back into the loan.

 

I think 215/40/R16 will look nice, a bit of a thinner tire makes for a cleaner look for sure. Dropped 1.5in depending on what look nice, Ill be ordering the goods saturday unless there are things I should know about what Im ordering.
