im kinda new to the car thing... and i was wondering what i need to lower my car. i know u need new springs but wat else do i need? shocks? and i was wonderin where i can get them.

 

depends how low ya go.......
typical its new LCA arm bolts, spring compressor, alignment.....

 

springs or coilovers , shocks and a camber kit.

 

I hope you guys don't mind me jumping in. I'm in the same boat as blazingwes. Just got a 98 civic & want to lower it approx 1" to 2". I thought all you needed were the lowering coil over springs I see all over e-bay for $40 delivered? What's the other stuff for?

 

if i get springs... don't i need to get new shocks.... won't it blow out my stock shocks? or doo i not know wat i am talking about lol

 

dont go the coilover route. I got coilovers on my 90 civic hatch and 91 crx and it rides rough. When I lowered my 00 SI, I used sportline lowing springs and man, it rides sooo smooth. Go springs and then upgrade your struts and shocks.

 

hmmmm interestin.... do u know how much ur springs costed u?

 

3 really fat girls.

 

here it is: get new shocks/struts and springs. you can find a great set of Tokico's for $500 give or take, shipped on ebay. you get what you pay for. def. go name brand here.

 

if i get springs first... how would i know which new shocks/ struts will fit my new springs?
