You get what you pay for.
I'd stay away from parts from ebay.

 

they ride like **** dont buy them

 

don't buy on a budget for safety

 

save your money, do your suspension right the FIRST TIME, so you won't have to go back and do some more mods and you can concentrate on other stuff

 

thanks a lot for helping out guys, but what's a good drop....1.75 or 2'???

really depends on what you wanna do with the car

If you just want a good daily driver, I'd recommend TEIN S. Techs or Eibach Pro Kits or something of that nature.

 

will a 1.7 drop look a little high?...i kind of want a flush drop but not slammed...

 

those ebay coilovers ride like complete ****. save up for a nice set of coilovers or a set of shocks/springs.

 

very uncomfortable....

 

Skunk2 springs with tokico illuminas is what i upgraded to from cheap coilovers, definitly a more comfortable ride

 

1.75 is a decent drop, u wont be tucking any tire but it'll still sit nice. and stay away from any "ebay" suspensions. its more of a saftey issue than a ride/style issue(ride will be like a$$ and style, meh..)

 

ebay coilovers are the best..

who said ebay parts suck is on crack!

 

unless its sarcasm, those arent EBAY coilovers theyre tein coilovers, theyre talking about no name coilovers.

 

right now i got on some fat tires (195/60/15). if i drop it 2', will it rub?!??!?!? and yea, thanks for all the inputs....

 

i just trying to prove a few points.. ebay don't make parts.. parts on ebay are not crap because they sell name brand parts on ebay too.. and for those people who think they are getting better parts at their local tuner shop does not relize that most the parts they are selling the owners bought off ebay.. lol

 

My car came with some no name coilovers with oem struts when I bought it and the ride isn't that bad. The struts aren't quite stiff enough for the spring rates, but really it isn't horrible. With a passenger and the back full of stuff its pretty bouncy though. I'm definately saving up to do it right, but if you've got to have a drop for cheap right now then I'd do it.

 

I bought my hatch with ebay coil overs and stock struts. The coil overs are the ones with the blue springs and crap. They run like ****, bounce like ****. I'm waiting until i get some money because i want some Kyb struts on skunk 2 springs and a 2' drop.

 

would a 2' drop be slammed or flushed???? that's what i'm really not sure about......

 

if u want a 2" drop just get a set of name brand springs....a lot less to worry about

+1 imo it is really convienent and a lot of the sellers have a good rep.......really good system

 

i would get ether 55 tires or even maybe 50's,, im droping mine the same drop as yours and im getting new tires as well,, people might flam me but i have a buddy with tenzo r springs that ride decent and i might go with them,, but a good set would have to be skunk 2, tein s. stay away from no name cheap coilovers or springs though u get what u pay for

 

aite koo, thanks a lot

 

but.ya i have the same size wheel n getting ready 2 drop my civic.N im pro going with 50 tires n a 2in drop
