I have a '00 Civic Ex sedan and I want to drop it. I've looked around a little but I don't have any experience with suspention stuff.

Should I do air bags or coil overs? Are there other ways of lowering (i.e... ways that won't hurt my car What's the most cost effective way?

Here's what I'm looking for:
- I want something that allows me to adjust ride hight
- performance is not high on the list... (like I said.... it's a sedan
- concerned with how it will effect the ride comfort

Just load me up with comments, advice, and experience!!

 

if you want to adjust ride higth and have a smooth ride them air bags are the way to go. you can probobly get a set on e bay for a good price but they can be a little difficult to install. here is a picture of good suspention.

Does my civic have struts?

Also, is the equipment for air bags extensive.... like the tank and what not? Will it take up my whole trunk?

 

Yes your civic has struts.

 

Are there advantages of bags over cylinders or vise versa?

(When I said to load me up with comments I was hoping for more than two replies)..... surely some one has opinions about lowering imports....

 

there are many options for coil-overs, there a good way to get performance and the ride hight you want...dont cheap out and got some e-bay stuff because you will get a REALLY ruff ride and will be dissipointed, you could luck out tho...get a nice set of Tein coils, but your going to pay upwards around $800, but you get what you pay for right..you can get a cheap set for like $200 but its going to be a ruff ride, do a search on coil overs for more info..there have been LOTS of posts about this..and for air ride stuff...PM a guy named ABSOULUTE, he has baggs on his civic and knows all about it
