I have a 98 civic EX. I'm looking to lower it a good bit. One of my buddies has a 99 DX and he had coilovers, but just the springs, and this car rode HORRIBLY. I've heard about cutting stock springs, some people say its the exact same ride as stock, some say its worse than the coilover springs. Can anyone help me out.?

 

everytime someone cuts stock springs, god kills a swedish blonde model.

A.K.A. dont do it [sm=headbang.gif] its dangerous and just plain stupid!

 

hahaha
yeah drop $140 and get springs

 

ya buy some right drop springs!!!!!!!!!!
cuting your springs or heating them up is BAD!!!!!!

dont cheap out on something that makes such a HUGE difference in the ride!
id sugest some Stechs.... thats what im rocken and many others on this site... close sto stock ride with a moderate drop thats still good for a daily driver.

just save up and be sure to get a alignment after ya change anything... tho if springs are new id say drive on them for about a week so the settle and your alignment will be on point then.

 

Go on ebay n buy springs very cheap

 

that's pretty ****ty advice. don't cheap out on springs and buy some generic ebay bullshi. go with some tiens: quality at a good price.

 

Not saying I recommend it, but I've talked to several people who rode on Ebay coilovers/springs. It's not the BEST ride, but it'll work.

Its up to you, my advice is don't cheap out.
