Ok, I'm really new at this so please I need the help I could get.I have a 4 door civic lxg 2002 with front and rear bumper lip with a black widow 2 sideskirt.
Now, I want to lower this baby to atleast 1"to 1.7"! I need your help on what product should I buy and will it work for a 4 door... and please specify any other things I need to buy(other than springs)
to complete the task... and please explain what those products do(im sorry im really new at this and I dont want to get ripped of by the mechanics).
And please explain the difference between the 2 products below(link).. why is the other more expensive? I really dont have the budget to spend $800 on the kit! $200 sounds great from my pocket.

Thanks guys for all the help!!

 

lol well ur problem here is that the first one are just lowering springs, the second product has springs and new shocks.....for that amount of drop 1.7 inches, you do not need new shocks and can just slip them over ur stock ones, replacing the springs u have on there now. There is nothing else you will need to buy in regards to suspension, but if you are going to be installing them urself u will need a spring compressor from autozone, which you rent and it ends up being free cuz they give u ur money bak wen u return the compressor and some WD40. Now as for those 2 links, those springs are fairly expensive for what you want....ebay is the cheapest, but if you dont wanna deal with ebay hastle, http://www.procivic.com/pages-produc...h-springs.html
get those, they loweer 1.7 inches and are sworn by from most HCF memmber and are cheaper....hope this helps!

 

THanks for the quick reply! Sorry about the ignorance(very new at this and im being careful) Thank you sir for the explanation!

 

lol anytime..........better safe than sorry, and no need to apologize for having questions, thats not ignorance, thats what we are all here for

 

is there any way i can get stechs and still get new shocks (not keep the stock ones) ??? i want tokico illumina shocks

 

yes

 

are these for a daily driver, or will you be takin your Civic out to a track? I've heard sometimes aftermarkte shocks are too wiggly for low daily driving speeds, and that alot of money if you just want to lower your car a little bit and are not too worried about handling perfromance. For DD, the stock shocks will do just fine .

 

Better shocks WILL make the car ride/handle better. Your stock shocks aren't properly valved for really stiff springs. Adjustable shocks are the best choice because they will allow you to dial in the damping forces and better control the suspension movement.

 

this is so confusing .. some people tell me not to get coilovers .. some other people tell me to get them .. ALOT of people tell me to get stechs which are designed for stock shocks i dont think i will b takin my car to the track but every now and then i race around with unknown people so wut do i get

 

S-Techs ftw i'm getting them this spring, they should be good (i dont take my car out to the track either)
