Idk if you can have them on backwards or upside down or anything but i dont think lowering springs are gonna give you a huge drop.
How do you break coilovers?

Re: my whip and spring info!
most lowering spring lowers a civic more in rear. but with a b swap with all ac, pw intact it should be pretty even drop.
i dont think there is a spring lower a car more than 2.5 inch. just save up for full coilover, they DONT break.... pic, progressive or something similar only cost 600 shipped now. cheaper than oem replacement :p

Re: my whip and spring info!
Correct me if im wrong but isnt it illegal to have hids, i swore i read something about that. Its just kind of one of those things that noone really cares about.

Re: my whip and spring info!
since you dont seem to be into ride quality why not just cut your springs? im diggin the hid's, b-series and blue rims. which ones are those?
can you elaborate more on how you've had "bad experiences" with coilovers? what brand(s) did you have? how long did you have it(them)?

Re: my whip and spring info!
haha idk ive always had springs on all my car when i got the coupe it had coilovers and one broke. like on the spring part it was nasty so maybe i should just invest in some good coils but idk its alot of money and i would need to save quite a bit.. yea im not cutting my springs eaither lmao. those are blue spun wheels. they come in cool colors like green pink red blue and like black and stuff.. haha yea that house has some rumors about it thats the side ill try and snap some in the front

Re: my whip and spring info!
ok next time DO NOT just in case DO NOT buy your coilovers from ebay. and pay more then 100 dollars for them. my non coilover setup cost the same as coilovers. but to be fair the added price of everything else still would be more. so if you care enough for better setup buy good coilovers.
yes well they don't usually come with projectors. but they are still dumb without em. 6k is nice but they're made for projectors for a reason.
how exactly did you break your other coilovers?
eibach has 2.0 drop springs. i dont personally know any 2.5 but they're out there.
and i do believe they are illegal...but so is taking off a cat and thats federal.

Re: my whip and spring info!
Your car looks pretty good. I would go with some eibach springs, they lower the car a good bit and won't cost too much and are high quality. I don't really see the appeal in coilovers, I don't need height adjustment, I guess people who live in snow filled places up north do to make it higher in the winter.

Way to be be ignorant/stupid/uninformed and run HIDs without projectors and blind every single driver on the road.
It's clearly obvious you are involved in Hondas for all the wrong reasons. If you don't have the money, don't mess with something. You have to pay to play. Always remember, you get what you pay for.
