Lowering Springs?
So I have a 99 Civic EX Automatic.
I just bought: new fenders, OEM Stanley sidemarkers to put in myself, fog lights, Type R "Style" Headlights (was REALLY shocked at how much real ones are going for lmao), Window Visors and some new speakers since I blew my back ones. So, my friend brought me over some Skunk 2 Lowering springs (Just the springs) I was wondering if its safe to use them on my stock struts/shocks?
Don't want to go and buy some koni coils or BC ones because I decided today that im going to save up a couple more hundred and switch over to manual!!
cant wait haha just gotta find people to swap it with me that wont charge ridiculously!

Re: Lowering Springs?
swapping springs is a pain in the ***. So one would want to get everthing done right the 1st time.
As it is true that this question gets asked once a week, most dont listen to advice and want their ride lowered so bad, it ends up costing more $$ and time when theyy have to do it all over again.
Shops charge 50 a corner to swap springs, or you could DIY with spring compressor.
Then add in for an alignment. This is why after pricing new shocks and springs, most just save for coilovers. Coils are much easier to install.
