how low are you planning on going? tire tuck? and whats your budget.

on a 95 civic, your bushings and ball joints are likely worn out, as well as your shocks and tie-rods. So in your case, i'd suggest fresh bushigns all around, new balljoints, new tie rods, and performance shocks such as Koni sport 'yellow' to go along with some quality drop springs like H&R or get a coilover kit from Ground control. Either way, get the koni sport yellows, you won't be sorry. also think about putting in new wheel bearings.

Is "dump" the new word for lowering? "Slam" isn't cool anymore?

I need to get with the times.

I guess the new word is "Dump". I suppose that would make my car either du, or dum, because it is lowered, but it isn't tucking the tires yet.

Yeah, I think my car is dum up front and du in the rear.

If your gonna buy coil-overs, I would go with ground-control (I did). They are top quality w/ the best warranty...
