does anyone know of any aftermarket or parts from different vehicles to lift a civic HB about an inch or 2?

 

Do you have a stock suspension now? or do you have aftermarket springs/coilovers?

 

stock

 

LOL then way would you want to rise it?

 

just answer the question

 

put some BFG mud-terrains on it and hit the mud.

well it makes no since, why would you wanna do that? I dont think any company makes parts like that for a hatch lol.

 

theres gota be some stuff out there, or a way to do it, ive seen a few crx's and hatchs with a Rally style Gravel suspension under them, but you could get away with it getto by getting some coilovers and raising them all the way up, or possibly use the coilover sleave and put your stock spring on it, sholuld be the same diamater, and then you could get alot of height out of it, eazyest way would be also to get some bigger tires

 

do you know where i could locate any of these parts

 

if your not wanting to spend any money, just search Ebay for 88-91 Civic or CRX coilovers, there should be tons for like $20-40

 

just get an ebay coilover sleeve setup and throw your stock springs on there and and lift the car up as much as possible... dont know how far the stock shock will allow for it to travel... post pics when done!! good luck

i couldnt find any sleeves on ebay

 

you will probably have to buy a cheap set of coilovers and use the sleeves from them

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

$45 shipped

 

so i will take the stock coils and insert the sleeves at their hihgest rate and reinstall the the coils with the sleeves?correct?and it will raise the car?

 

in theory- yes... i dont see anything causing problems if youre only raising it two inches... but ive never tried this so i dont want to give you a definate answer... hope this helps bro

thankyou for your input but what about the camber

 

raising the car would create positive camber( \ _ / ) which in all of my rally experience isnt good for traction... what i would suggest is either getting a camber kit, or getting longer control arms from another car(integra, or other year civic) and throwing them on there... that might be cheaper but it wont be adjustable
-Josh

 

so using the integra control arm would get rid of the positive camber

 

jus buy sum air bag suspension. lift when u want lower it when u want.

 

costs to much and isnt want im looking for,wouldnt work for my application

 

you could always use springs from a heavier car... lowering springs from a teg make a crx higher than stock FYI

wow learn something new everyday!! i suggested the coilover setup b/c it was cheap and he would be able to adjust it
-Josh

 

so what do you guys think would be my best choice?

 

Just to ask why would you want to lift it. The only thing that i can think of has allready been said and that is to take a stock spring and get a set of coil overs and put the sleeve in and lift it all the way up but then your are going to have camber and also the strut might not like that to much.
