Hey guys i plan on lowering my car soon. It's a 1994 honda civic dx coupe. I dont know if i should get coil-overs or just lowering springs. This car is daily driven, so i dotn want it to low. Well thanks for the help

 

go with coilovers it feels better than springs plus you can change the ride height whenever you want .

 

If you know you don't want to go really low, then skip the coil-overs. They are more expensive, and more difficult to setup. Also, the progressive spring rate of the regular lowering springs will offer a much nicer ride quality that won't keep the ladies away. You can then spend the extra money to get an alignment. This will save your tires in the long run. Even though the car will still drive straight after you lower it, your toe settings will have changed. This translates into a scrubbing effect which causes tire edge wear that you don't want...

Go with Eibach, H&R or Neuspeed. Those are the top quality companies with great warranties & awesome customer service...

 

just get a nice set of lowered springs, no need for coilovers when its a daily driver and probably would never see track

 

Go with eibach springs. Lifetime warranty

Good advice there. Especially about getting an alignment afterwards. Also, don't forget to reset all the rubber suspension bushings you can (RTA bushing isn't exactly doable without special tools).

Though, I would add, that a 94 anything isn't likely to have shocks that are still in the best condition, and while you've got everything disassembled, I'd change out the shocks for better ones, something designed with lowering in mind. That should ride better than stock shocks with a drop, and shouldn't blow out like some shocks seem to want to when lowered.

 

lowering springs all the way!!!!!!!!!!! i have a set of tokico blues with tokico red lowering springs that drop my car about 1.5" and they ride GREAT!!!! but the drop wasnt low enough so i traded with my bros skunk2 pro series full coilovers and they are pretty stiff and rough......i like the slammed look only but the springs give u a better ride quality!!!!!!
