Honda Civic 97 ex Suspension?
Alright so i have been looking in to some suspension for quite some time now but i haven't been able to find the right stuff? So i was wondering whether anyone could lend some advice on a good set or something. I know that i want a new set of cambers and struts. Is that all that i need to have a good new suspension or is there more?

I got tokico blue shocks with h&r springs on my 97 civic. blox lower control arms and skunk2 upper camber kits rides good. no camber wear.. i find the ride quite comfortable..

How low do you want to go? skunk2 and h&r springs are the lowest springs, everything else you will need coilovers. There are a million combos out there just search...

My friend has Koni Sport Yellows with custom rates and the tophats. It's a great setup, gives you all kinds of customization, including dampening, and you can slam it if you want. I also recommend a Subframe brace. Weksos has an ASR brace combo that works out great. That, some LCA's and a camber kit, and you should be set.

No worries-an LCA is just short for lower control arm. It's a suspension part. Located under the bottom of each corner-it's the lowermost arm that travels for the hub where the wheel mounts and travels inward to attach deeper under the car. It travels up and down via bushings at each end and one in the center. Personally I've had good success with Omni power lower control arms with Energy Suspension bushings. They look better, and provide a nice sporty ride-compared to stock.
