Default Lowering my Civic...

All right, I have a couple questions.

1)- I have a 96 EX coupe- would I have to replace the wheels to lower it (or what's the most I could lower w/o replacing them?)
2)Is THISany good? Do I need anything else?
3) How hard would it be to do myself, or how much would it cost to have someone do it for me?

Thanks for the help...

Default RE: Lowering my Civic...

no you wouldn't have to replace the wheels. I'm assuming they are stock wheels or at least not over 18" rims. Most you SHOULD lower, I'd go with no lower than 2". A lot of people like Dropzone springs, I've heard good news about them. You should also get new shocks/struts, look into Tokico HPs, they seem to be the favorite here. If the drop is over 1.5" you should look into a camber kit. If you have never worked with a spring compressor I suggest that you have someone install them.
