I have a 1996 honda civic 2dr coupe dx and im wondering how much of a performance increase id notice with a skunk2 coilover kit with LCAs when it comes to handling. Is it noticable....or would i need to get a good sway bar like the ITR to notice something?

 

I have gotten megan racing front & rear upper struts, Id also recommend getting the lower front and rear struts, they actually help a lot. The tread and quality of your tires also has a great deal to do with the traction you get out on the road.

I have skunk2 with stock LCA's... LCA's are mostly 4 visual, not performance, unless you pop in a sway bar. It depends how much you drop your car, if you get it aligned properly (camber, toe,etc..) you will definitely notice quite a bit better handling..

are you talking about just the coilovers, or the lowering springs, or the full suspension setup? (I'm assuming the adjustable coilovers, which is what i have.)

 

Im talking about going from a stock 1996 civic dx 2dr coupe to these:

and

I'll say. It depends on how you drive it.

 

Correct. I know a kid with stock shocks/springs, and he whoops most of the cars here with there heavy modded cars. He also have a single-cam . I didn't mention he does circuit.

 

It should make a big difference going from stock to that. Might wanna pair them up with some good shocks to get the full benefit. I know when I went from stock to GC's and AGX's that my car handled alot better. The ride will be a good bit different (stiff) than you are used to. It took me awhile to get used to that with coilovers.

 

Oh, OK. Don't buy from skunk2, they rip you in the ***.. Go to google and look up: JDM IN STOCK, thats the name of an ebay company that sells really cheap and authenic skunk2 parts for at least 30% off MSRP.

Good times!~
