hey everyone, my name is chris
i just finished repairing my new civic from a bad accident. it's a 93 dx coupe auto...slowest of the slow lol. but its my new daily because of gas prices blow with a v8 chevy lol. on here i hope to find some info on how much to lower my car and what size tires to run when i get some new wheels. future plans are to lower it 2in, get some 17's and do some suspension mods.
i will post some pics soon. thanks

 

I like 18's better than 17's and in all honesty i believe they drive better. Also Hankook ventus pro tires are the ****...Also if your wanting to drop a full two inches i would suggest Eibach springs..... You can get them at Eibach.com

 

ya i was looking at those springs. im not sure on the rims yet. i might just get shorter tires on my rims now and lower it. thanks for the reply

18s are going to give a bumpy ride, as they require a 35 tire........which is THIN. I hit a bump with my 17s and it kinda hurts.......Id go for 16's because you can run a 45 tire, which is more meat, and it comes in handy.

 

Honestly i had kumho on my 17's HATED them.....I got hankook on my 18's love it...feels like factory again.

 

nice ride blue ex
pete do u have any pics of ur ride?

 

Yea click on the little camera under the pic of SGT Hartman. Thats a link to my gallery.........anyone whos got a gallery has that camera icon.

 

Awesome man, and welcome fellow noob! Civics are teh sex (if i say so meself) I hope you enjoy , I got 16s on my car at the moment and the rides pretty awesome, should get better when these new springs are put in, but the main reason im doin that is so i'm allowed to drive it again, but ah what can you do?

 

welcome to the forum like pete i have 17's and the ride can get rough my tire size is 205/40/17 good luck
