well i just got a 06 Si but iono i need sum help to find out how to lower it n the pricing range soo help me out yo!!!

 

If you have the honda body kit, it's probably best not to lower it. Wit hthe kit, it's already very low and needs not to go lower.

noo......

it still needs to be dropped. did you see the showstoppers FG2?

 

I have the Honda kit, and HFP's, and I think it could use like an inch drop. I will be wary of man hole covers and **** like that though.

 

im willin to spend bout $400 if dats enough

 

I'm personally going with TEIN h-techs for a .8/.7 drop., well under $200.

i dont get it soo u sayn ill cost about $200?? where??

 

Just some food for thought. I think it was in import tuner or super street but either way they said lowering the Si was actually bad. There is a point at which something is too low and the Si is already set up damn near perfect. But I guess form goes over function most of the time.

well for example

i just paid 400 for my comptech springs and installation

200 for the springs, 200 for the work

only pain with "just springs" is that they have to take apart your oem setup and put the springs with ur oem shocks
where as with coils they just swap them out ***

*** if it is a COMPLETE coil like a Tein Flex system

also take note..

more drop you do... more abuse you put on oem shocks

 

I installed S-tech Teins last weekend. It was easy if you have a compressor. 5 hours, for Exhaust, CAI, and S-tech Springs. Wash and installed new wheels. S-Tech set it at a nice heigh and stance.

 

damnn dat clean wut kinda rimps are those cuz my si is red n i lik dat red trim

and thats why the 2 Honda Si that competed in the 25hour Thunderhill race were on some H&R Race springs (1.6" front / 1.3" rear)

thats a clean *** shot, size those rims!? 18s?

to the OP, you can pick up tein s-techs even cheaper, but depends on your perference...

In my opinion, i think it's like this, h-tech = nice comfort drop and increase in handling for sure, s-tech = more of a track/race driven type of drop...

Axis TC Evo.

If interested, I have a set for sale. They are charcoal with green lips.

 

Those rims are HELLA ugly...might as well through on a Black Widow body kit while you're at it...ugg. &lt;---it's not the surprised face, it's the me throwing up face

"Engineers from Honda R&D Americas, Inc., in Ohio prepared the cars to National Auto Sport Association (NASA) U.S. Touring Car Championship specifications in an effort to demonstrate the performance capabilities of the Si's new chassis architecture and powertrain. While the basic engine, transmission, and brake system remained stock, the Civic Si's 2.0-liter engine was enhanced by a custom intake from AEM and exhaust components from DC Sports.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup competition tires on lightweight Rays wheels, and custom H&R racing suspension modifications completed the handling package. Enhancing the car's aerodynamics were a carbon-fiber front splitter and adjustable rear spoiler."

Thats straight from hondanews.com. But notice the first part, "Engineers from Honda R&D Americas, Inc." I'm pretty sure theres abit more to that car than some fancy drop springs. The OP said nothing about strut bars, tie bars, shocks, camber plates, A-arms etc. etc. So i guess I should have said <U>JUST</U> lowering the new Si can be bad.

 

for ppl who lowered their 06 si's, did you guys change the struts too? all of them..

well I guess I stand corrected there sir, nice pull on the info

FYI to anyone interested in the information - i installed Tein S-Tech springs on my 2006 Civic EX - handles better - rides like stock!!!

if anyone is interested i can do a write up with pics included

did NOT take long at all to put the springs in.. the rear springs are eFFin EASY!!!! the front, just as EASY

IMHO - 8th gen suspension is WAY easier to work on or with than any previous year cars i've worked on the suspension with (e.g. BB2 (2000 prelude, whatta bitch); EM1 (2000 civic si); DC2 (94-00 integra)
