sup everyone,
i have a 02 honda civic coupe..i bought some Tein S-Tech lowering springs for my car, but have no installed them yet due to some issues with my dad. he won't let me put them on b/c he thinks it will do more harm than good to my car!!! alright heres the deal, he thinks that if i put the springs on, the body of the car now would be so close to the tires that if i were to go over a dip or a bump that the tires would come up and hit the body, thus in the long run cause problems. i counter that by saying i don't think that would be much of a problem, but he thinks otherwise.

i have on 17" Velox Scythe Gunmental rims, with some Kumho Ecsta ASX tires with specs: 215-45-17

so my question i ask all ya'll who have fixed up Honda civics, is that will installing the Tein S-tech springs cause my tires to slam against the car body if i were to go over a dip or a speedbump unexpectedly?? or will the suspension and shock allow clearance of the dip/speedbump without any problems.

1 more thing say i do install the springs...how fast would my tires wear out even after i get them realigned???

any imput/suggestions/personal experience would be greatly appreciated! THANKS

 

Lower that car about 4", man! (BTW, You only need to post this 1 time)

 

Put some Tokico or Koni shocks/struts and make sure that when they put the shocks on they don't remove the bump stop, you'll be fine.
