I'm wondering, how many inches should I drop my '94 Civc DX hatch to make it look nice and run into only few manufactuer defects?


I'm thinkin about dropin it 1.9 inches in the front and 1.8 inches in the rear

Does anyone know the stock spring rates for this hatch or where to find them at?

 

drop it like 3in the front and 2.5 in the rear

 

lol mine is so low i can't even run over half a coke can

 

I can't seem to find a very good website for your stock spring rates ...but I think that the drop you want will be a great setup..(is what you will usually see on the street).you will be able to fit rims up to about 18in. maybe 17in. for sure with no rub....although if you plan on putting on a front lip you will most likely have to drive up steep obstacles sideways...(ie driveways, speed bumps, etc....) trust me if you dont slow down and go sideways you will break your front lip ....I have a 93 EG lowered abot the same as you want to do and i put a lip on there and broke it the next week...so if you are putting on a lip u might want to lower it as much and buy an adjustable system...i just have ground control springs with tokico blue shocks (no adjustabilty) but my car sits nice and handles great...!

sorry but i would actually enjoy being able to DRIVE my car...

 

My EM1 is lowered about 2.7 inches with a Type R lip. That should equal a total a little over 3 inches.

 

I have 2.25 and 2.00(neuspeed race) on my hatch and I want to drop it a little more. The front is tucking a little and the back is not even tuckin. I have 93 Civic cx.

weird my car has been lowered more than that and wait, low and behold i could still drive it, odd, because apparently it is impossible to drive a car lowered 3 inches.

i donno how much lower mine is, but i never run into problems..

The stock spring rates I think are 120F/90R. Rear being slightly progressive I believe.

 

i dropped my ex 1.5 in the front and 2 in the back w/ 17's looks perfect , i live in pa so i cant hahve it extremely low, so this was nice

 

dumped....all the way

 

i never measured how low i was in my 95 hatch, but i ran no sleeves front and back on skunk2 coils and never ran into any problems

shet, why not take out the springs and ride on the bunpstops! if your lowred 3in in front already theres not much if any suspension travel to begin with.

 

extended tophats are your friend

 

i have 4 inches drop on my eg, yay AREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
