Just wanted to introduce myself.... I have a 94 Civic, lowered approx. 2" 1.6 VTEC SOHC with Enkei sportline 18's and Toyo's. It rides like crap right now, but that's why I'm here. I bought the car already lowered, I have no idea which make or model spring is used and I'm wondering if any of you may know if there is any way to tell by looking at the spring. Also, I'm replacing the shocks/struts and am wondering what would be the best deal. I'm looking for a setup that will ride comfortably, but still handle well. I hear the Tokico "Blues" are a good buy as long as high performance isn't a factor. Any help would be truly appreciated.

 

Welcome to HCF!! Great to have you here!! I hope you visit us often!! Got any pics of your car to share?

i have the Tok blues, and i love them. they regularly see the auto-x track, and i drive very aggressively around town. they are great for a cheaper upgrade. and use bumpstops when you install them. a lot of people take them out when they lower a car. and chances are, you have very low-profile tire, and that hurts the ride quality a lot too.

 

Ya less rubber... less ride. Welcome to HCF, post some pics or we will hunt you down!

 

Thanks alot for your help. I think part of my problem is that I'm lacking bumpstops, which unfortunately has caused my outer wheel wells to get shredded by the tire when the tires are turned and I hit a bump. Any recommendations on where to get them? I'll try to get some pics posted soon. New paint and maybe getting the wheels polished is somewhere on the horizon.....

 

Welcome to HCF. They like pics.....ALOT just make sure your car is clean or you will here about it.

ummmm..... ok. XCM, oh nevermind.

go to a junkyard for bumpstops.

 

Hehe sorry for the weirdness, but I just read it in a Foxtrot comic strip and I just had to put it in one of the new member threads.
