sup everyone,
i have a 02 honda civic coupe..i bought some Tein S-Tech lowering springs for my car, but have no installed them yet due to some issues with my dad. he won't let me put them on b/c he thinks it will do more harm than good to my car!!!

alright heres the deal, he thinks that if i put the springs on, the body of the car now would be so close to the tires that if i went over a dip or a bump that the tires would come up and hit the body, thus in the long run cause problems. i counter that by saying i don't think that would be much of a problem, but he thinks otherwise.

i have on 17" Velox Scythe Gunmental rims, with some Kumho Ecsta ASX tires with specs: 215-45-17

so my question i ask all ya'll who have fixed up Honda civics, is that will installing the Tein S-tech springs cause my tires to slam against the car body if i were to go over a dip or a speedbump unexpectedly?? or will the suspension and shock allow clearance of the dip/speedbump without any problems.

any imput/suggestions/personal experience would be greatly appreciated! THANKS

they only drop it 1.2 or 1.5 im not sure u wont tuck it wont hit i had 16s with 205/50/16 on with teins basic damper all the way dropped and never rubbed you will have no problem

 

so you got the car realigned after installing the springs right?? after that how fast does your tire wear out after installing the springs & getting a reallignment?

for my dad's sake i gotta take everything into consideration bleehhh

 

don't post this in the all motor forum

u might need to get a camber kit so the tires don't wear

 

ya u might need an alignment kit i got one at my house for sale its from spc performance and get it aligned i didnt get mine aligned it wasnt reall that bad just make sure your steering wheel is straight when you install the springs the wear on my tires wasnt that noticable only excessive camber will show
