Question Suspension

Allright so, I was wondering wether or not it would be fine to buy

http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...140&perfCode=S

for my 98 civic ex coupe. It has 75,000 miles on it, completly stock. I want to do some lowering and was wondering wether or not I could get away with dropping it with these springs without having to change the struts. It would be a few months before I would have the money for the struts but want nice cornering performance as well as the clean look.

Thank you!!! =)

It would be ok to do that for a while. The stock shocks will wear out faster, but they should still last a while. Just make sure to get an alignment when you do it. My recommendation is to also get camber kits when you do the drop so that the alignment shop is able to dial in the camber to what it should be.

I'd give you 8 months before you're bouncing all over the place.

ding ding ding...just wait, save up and buy/install everything at once. that means one time to do it, one headache, one alignment. cheaper, faster, better...
