BEFORE READING- don't post if u got some bullshit comment, i just want some answers so i can get rolling.


Hey, sorry i DID search.. but it didn't turn anything up, maybe it's an issue on my end of the internet.. but ANYWAYS..

-> Lowering you're front 2.0" and 1.75" in the rear with megan lowering springs does sound enticing. I have my creditcard out right now about to drop some funds on these things with some rims and low-pro's to go along with them. the thing is..

2" seems DRASTIC, i had around a 2" in my precidia(YA LAUGH IT UP) back in the day, and i had to watch scraping all day long. I'm worried if i toss on 17"-18" rims onto my EX with a 2"front-1.75"rear drop i'll be scraping lots.....

->As well, RIMS.. now i know i could of searched the net and gotten this answer but here it will be quicker for a bunch of SI junkies to just tell me.

I like open/lots of spoked rims in the 18" fashion a lot. What is the EX stock specs for it's rims.. offset, etc. This guy at the shop is telling me wrong numbers. (no i wont be taking it there.) So i'm definately new to tires and rims. But whats the deal with tires, i want those sexy low profile things for sure..

If people could shed some light on these 2 topics for me that'd be really helpful

i'm not dropping a car on stock rims :\ the plan is for 18's, if 17's look better than... 17's. but im thinking 18's.

just do it... you'll be fine. PLAN for 17's anyway, cuz those will just flat out look better...

I have a Tein S-Tech drop (only 1.4f / 1.3r) and it's not as low as I wanted it. But with the 17's, it just fits better and I don't have the urge to want to go lower anymore. I mean I still do but for now, i'm content and don't wanna eff with it for awhile... here are some pics for reference...

Here it is in stock form


On that same day, 1hr 30mins later - lowered on Tein S-techs

ASWELL, do megan lowering springs/any type of LOWERING spring just use the stock struts right ? just replace springs and cruise away? And why would you say 17's look better ? 18's look too big on civics ?

okay, at this point, I recommend you start <FONT COLOR="red">search</FONT>ing (click here), with this, all you have to do is type the keywords to the things that you do not understand and I guarantee you'll find post about them.

for wheel opinion go here he Super Mega Ultra 2006+ Civic Coupe & Sedan Picture Thread....

no search result found. sorry but, it just doesnt seem to like me. i can type in ANYTHING... searches come up inconclusive, as my post says, not working on my end for some reason.. anyways, come on people we're almost there... so, what's the rim dimensions, the offset, etc.. the lowering springs use stock struts right? And why 17's over 18's ?

what browser are you using? what operating system?

faster Type R

try searching in the archived and recent...you usually get more results in archive

you should have found something either way...try searching harder next time

hoodkid

okay.. u need to read, i am searching in archived.. recent.. all possible settings with any words or characters, the SEARCH doesnt work. not me being a dumbass. anyways, so with a 2" drop, 18's would be a little too big ? so i should go with 17's ?
