i am lowering my crx if i put cilovers on it is it possible to lower it the whole 4 inches or would i be better off just buying springs i want it really low but not if its going to effect the performance

 

If you go 4 inches you'll bottom out on everything if you can even get your car that low. I'd recomend 2.5 inches at the lowest in the front for daily driving.

 

if it helps you out any i have a 91 4dr civic and its lowered 2 inches for daily driving but i also have 17s but even with my stock wheels i dont go but maybe a half an inch more because it does scrape some things

 

4 inch drop? daym, the car would literally be sitting on the ground, probably couldnt get out of the driveway

 

If buy sleeve coilovers, u might be able to lower the front 4" but not the back because of the cup...and you'll blow the shocks before u know it...
If u wanna go real low and still handle like ur on rails u should get H&R Ultra-Low kit...its pricey though..

 

If you got the $$$ I think you'd be happier with coilovers. I tried a couple different sping setups and was never real happy with either. And with the coilovers you'll obviously have the adjustability.

 

if your dumb enough to want a 4 inch drop you should just get air bags.

 

LOL They don't make airbags for a crx. But I guess I'm dumb because I went with air cylinders.

 

with an air ride system its hard to get any better handling then stock. some kits may be ok but i will never put one on my own car.

 

air ride air bag whatever but thas the way to go if you want really really low i guess.. seen it on some cars works fine if you want that look

 

i will prolly just get springs with a 2 1/2 inch drop will it still look pretty low

 

coilovers = adjustable....

GC coilovers...

The Ground Controls for around $300 come pretty highly rated in my book.

 

Just buy any cheap coilovers if you are going to slam it 4 inches, The quality of the spring doesn't matter for a 4" drop.

True, you have a point there!

 

definately dont go more then 2.5 inches cuz you'll be hating the road

Seriously, I felt every bump in my car because it was lowered 3 inches and my cd player would skip....and I got a dead raccoon caught in my front grille because it scooped it up like a snow plow

 

my whorish question wasnt on the whole 4" drop. I personally think thats ridiculous but you like it more power to you. im look for a good brand for road racing and autoX.

 

Or you could run more than one susp setup....

I have a good set (Tokico Ilumina adj with Kmac springs) .

But sometimes when i'm in a silly mood, I'll run a standard shocks with cut springs..

I'd love to get a set of H&R ultralows but I cant source them here.

 

IMO I think coilovers are bouncy. But its good that there adjustable.
