i really dont know how to go about dropping my 97 civic.i prob looking for a 2 inch drop all around.i heard u can change the coilovers and i looked at e-bay and saw some ranging from like 12.99 to like 23.99 are they really that cheap?i drop mini trucks and the stuuf we use aint that cheap.

any guidance that can help would be more than appreciated.thanks.

 

if you get coilovers in that price range you are asking for a ticket to death. Good set of coil overs 500+. Or you could go springs and dampers for about 500-600. Skunk2 and Nuespeed both give 2" drop or slightly more.

 

you can pile a bunch of fat people in your car, go on a road trip. j/k

you can get some lowering springs, but its better to do shocks and **** if you want the performance. if your rockin the stock suspention, you shock wear faster with lowering springs.

 

theres no way to tweak or adjust the stock suspension to drop it a little bit?i mean i thought i could get a decent drop for at least 150 bux guess i was wrong.

 

you could cut the springs, but get ready for a bumpy ride

 

please don't cut the springs.

 

i wasnt telling him to... but if his budget is 150.... not much els to do.

 

A few of us were talking in another thread and if you were to take off all your lugnuts and drive off, you're guaranteed to lower your car in 60 seconds (For free, even!!!) [sm=joke.gif] Anyway, don't cut springs! That'll make them lose a lot of their structural integrity, not to mention damage the whole system. Your best bet is to hold off, and save that money (instead of spending it right now) and get a good suspension setup. But if you have to (and only if you have to) get the lowering springs. I put them on my car recently (just cuz I HAD to have them...for some reason?) and you'll get improved handling and stuff, but you're ride suffers a lot. I'd save for a good system cuz you'll get what you paid for. As to what brands are best, I have no idea, but I think a bunch of people have recommended Tiens.

 

Again, I recommend the dropzone package...about the cheapest quality set-up you can get...I had mine shipped to the door for under $300. A little bumpier than it was stock, but I rather enjoy that...

 

i saw on e-bay some tein s springs for 85-95 bux, i think i will get those for the time being plus my girlfriend says "itll look better dropped"i looked at her and said show me the money and you got it!

thanks guys.
