Well im lookign to lower the beater.....its an 87 4door d15a2 its got torsion bars up front.....is there ANY way to lower it w/o buying anything? i know s10's you can crank them down but i got no idea how...figure be a real ricer and cut the rear coils....the car is a beater why not....just need to know how to lower the front. thanks, zach

 

anyone?? im lookin to do this like tomorrow...monster honda stance is not pleasing me....

 

yes, you can turn the torsion bars. the ride will suck if you go too low, though. you might also have to take it apart and put it on different notches.

my friend's old civic was so rusted that when we rode these rail road tracks here, the torsion bar mount twisted on the floor, lowering the car. not cool. that car was quickly junked out.


with the back, if you cut them, do it smart.

 

I cranked them down until the nut was flush with the end of the stud.....it sat nice and low, handled great (CRX)

 

awesome....thanks guys....yes i will be smart when i do this....its a daily so im not gonmna do anything that isnt safe....the car isnt rust badly on the underside so it wont matter.....how many inches will it drop it?

 

i am also trying to lower my 87 4 door and this has helped out alot. thanks guys.(:

 

Since they were nylock nuts, I left about 2 or 3 threads exposed on my CRX. Put 14in phone dials on it and it had a nice 2-finger gap between the tire and fender.

 

Im looking to have no gap and tuck atleast half my tire. Haha

 

I just recently got an 87 civic sedan and would like to lower it the right way as well as I have read you have to get a pan hard bar for the rear and better torsions like 23mm and higher so they are stronger. I plan on just lowering it with the adjustment nut for now. i was curious if anyone had any idea where to get this stuff liek new torsion bars and panhard bar at? and what average prices are for them? also does anyone have any pics of their sedans after being only lowered on the adjustment screw? thanks in advance any help is greatly appreciated
