Does anyone here have any shots of an EK with 1" lowering springs? I'm thinking about doing a minimal lowering job... hopefully just springs because I don't want to change shocks or any of that. Preferably if the car was black and had 205-16 tires.

 

This is 1.0" Rear, 1.4" Front. The tires are 205/40/16's, and do not sufficiently fill the wheel gap, which is hella gay. I'll be picking up some 45 series tires after the boost install.

 

Forty i think they look really good. Also with a passenger in the car, it will drop the car down even more so while driving it definetly would be riding lower. How much was your kit and what brand? I am not into dropping too low so I kinda like your setup there.

 

nice forty!^^

i have some teins on my car, about $140 and im using my stock struts and no camber kit and i love it, its more then a 1 inch drop..its about 1.7 but they are sweet man, check out my photo gallery for my pics, and check out these links

Here are 5 links from people that have already installed them on here, myself, mynmisoli, 97_nw, x2100 and 05 civic

The s-techs don't require any other mods right? They just drop in and everything is ok?

 

Some people get lucky and dont have to do anything else. But others, like myself have to get a camber kit as well.

 

I'm having a hard time deciding... those cars look good but I'm worried I would have more problems in the winter etc. I already have a hard enough time crawling down into my car as it is... I'm 6' and 200lb... I'm kinda stocky and not that flexible.

 

well..1 thing is you wont have a problem in the winter, i live in canada and we got some pretty big dumps of snow here in the winter and i havent had a problem, i was all worried to about the winter and a lowerd car

 

Thanks guys, I absolutely love this setup. Once I get some new rubber in there, I will be 100% satisfied. The wheel gap is only a small part of the reason for getting new tires, I want better ride quality as far as going over bumps and stuff is concerned. Anyway, back to the topic at hand

My setup was around $500, but worth every penny, probably more. Its the Tokico HPK setup (Street Sniper has the same thing, take a look around for his DIY on the install).

The HPK's are excellent for daily driving, and I would assume they get the job done at the track to, but I've yet to test them there. They're not bouncy, aren't too bad going over big bumps, and make plowing through the twisties VERY exciting. I love when I get people riding my *** on a twisty on-ramp, I just drop a gear, head for the apex, and watch them disappear from my rear view.
