slammed civic 98 sedan
 

i dropped my civic i put apc coil overs and kyb g-2 struts and 17 rims with 205/40z/17 on it and i think its too low it is real rough ride on the littlest bump how high or low should i have it and how to i tell wut height or drop im makin on it were do u measure from

coilovers are going to be rough anyway...but ur shocks could be bottoming out...did u put the bump stops in?...try raising it a little bit and see how it does

yeah i put the bump stops in it that came with the coilovers the ones that came with the struts didnt fit the coilovers the sleeve wouldnt go over them but the front is slammed all the way i think i should raise it a little how far do u think i should raise the front and back how do i no the drop that i got on it do i measure from the fender gap cause right now the front is tucked i think its way to low looks nice as hell but rough ride on every bump

lol yea it always looks nice but imposible to drive...id lift it like an inch or 2...you could bring it up like 2 inches and see how the ride is...and then lower it a little at a time till it looks how u want it too...and how i l ook at hight is...with the sleve screwed all the way up would be stock hight..or close to it..coilovers are suposed to be able to drop the car up to 4 inches..and the sleve us roughly 4 inches...so measer ut on the sleve...id say put it at about half way on the sleves and see how that rides....all mine are droped all the way but my ride feels good...i also have kyb but g2s....just put them at about half and see how it is..

are the g-2 good struts or did i make bad buy??? so how do i make them all lowered the same height wut do i got to measure? and is the rear suppose to be higher than the front??thanx for the fast replies i appreciate it

i love the g2s...they stiffend up my ride quality a whole lot...measure it on the sleve...if u want which is kinda a pain but u can put the nut on the sleve all the way to the botom..then u can count how many times u turn it...then u can make all of them the same...or u can count the threads u can see..a thread or 2 wont matter too much...and as far has hight goes..front and back...its up to u...if u have the back slightly higher it can help with traction issues....the only thing i will tell you..is be carefull...i raised the back of my car to about half way and the weight of the car crushed the threads on one sleve...i had to get a new sleve so i could lower them again...but this past time when i had my friends rims on the back i had it up again and it lowerd just fine..
