whats the deal with those coilover lowering spring kits? are they actually legit? it says it drops 1-4" but something doesnt seem right

 

which ones are you talking about?

and 1-4" makes sense, coilovers are height adjustable

 

is a full coil over system what gives a car the nice ride?
or do you need new control arms?

basicly what does each part do?
what do i need to get that nice ride?

 

Please read the stickys.

thanks for the link i new there had to be info on here somewhere

 

Any suggestions to *raise* the back of my wagon?
I need a little more clearance, especially if I've got passengers or cargo.

 

I have an 02 civic Dx. 2dr. I would like to know what kind of suspension to get. I would like something that is adjustable. Mostly for street purposes, but my civic is a toy not a dd. I need to know some good parts to get... I mean the entire susp. Machpersons, sway bar, bushings, sway bar links. I only want to drop like an inch or two. I am not to worried about price, as I just have to pay shop cost as I am a 3rd year mech. and this is a little off topic but how would I figure out what size of tires I could fit in after all the suspension parts are in?

 

what's a machperson?


anyway, get an ASR rear sway bar and ASR rear subframe braces (prevents tearing out the sub frame with the sway bar's tension).

I like H&R springs but if money is not an object i'd get something nicer. Bilstein or Omnipower full coilovers would be nice. There's others out there too, but i'm just basically saying I would get full coilovers. If the full coilovers you buy don't have pillowball mounts, i'd also get some of those. Tein makes some pillowball mounts. I'd get Function7 LCAs.

Energy suspension makes a nice master bushing kit. Get black though, not red. it has graphite in it whereas the red does not, and it makes the bushings last longer or something along those lines.

While you're at it, i'd get energy suspension shifter bushings too.


i'm not sure what you can do for a front sway bar.

 

No such thing as just Machphersons. I think you're kind of confused about your suspension, Anything from 01+ has MacPherson struts, it's a design not a product.
