what exactly would I need? not looking for specific brands or anything..

more like specific parts (lowering springs, shocks?) I've been trying to figure it out but I'm having trouble understanding what exactly needs to be done just to lower the car.

do i need a full suspension kit? or just springs..?

 

cut the springs

 

but if i want like a 1 inch drop ...the cutting wont be 1inch right?

 

get HFP suspension kit..if you want more aggressive drops get Eibach

 

Dude, you should really have searched before you went and asked this.

Don't cut the springs...although I have done that once...temporarily (so aluminum heads are much lighter than the iron ones...who thought of that?)

If you search for a kit for the car, you'll see what you need.

Kits:
2 shocks
2 struts
2 springs

Get a camber kit front/rear too.

I'm thinking we should let him. All these west coast kids have an abundance of tuning shops, they have the internet, and still they ask stupid questions...

The silver lining is CA's oppressive laws.

shouldn't let him do just because he is lazy, he'll learn the hard way on his own

dont listen to these guys. all you need is a blowtorch and like 3 of yer buddies. heat the spring up with yer friends sitting on the hood and stop when the desired height is reached

 

A joke is a joke.....I only hope he doesnt really do it. Oh and post pics when you lower your car with the blowtorch

ok in reality if your lowering your car like an inch buy some tein s-techs, run them on stock shocks and your golden...a good lowering spring is all you are going to need. for better handling characteristics your goin to want a new strut/shock combo...this is also necessary when lowering the car more than 2 inches as our stock shocks can not handle the rebound of being that low.

my second piece of advice is learn to use the search function on Honda-Tech. I realize you are a new member, but do not just create a post for every question u have, search thoroughly, cross reference, than search again, than search the archives and if u still have trouble finding something, than post the question. It will save alot of hating/flaming from the Hater-Tech community on here. And they have every reason to say what they say, its annoying to see our bandwidth clogged up with noobish questions such as this one, or "what wire do i hook up for my Vtak to work".

But anyways, welcome to Honda-Tech, youll find its a great site for learning and inspiration.

Don't you just have springs?

 

I bought my previous car, used. The idiot who had it before me cut the springs... Which I knew it, but I was already plannin on the suspension needs for it. So I rocked it for a while... Until one day, I took a corner to fast and the spring ejected itself from off the arm and wedged itself into my tire.... - Moral of the story. Cut the springs... It'll be funny, I promise.

 

yea i knew i was gonna get **** for asking the question..but i've been reading and trying to figure it out for a while even before i joined this forum...

yea yea "search" "google" blah blah bs.

maybe i'm just too dumb of a west coast kid to know how to use google or search, but i figured out how to use forums!

i think every single one of us has posted a stupid question on a forum before. we weren't all born forum-******

Don't listen to the media. Hazing makes you better. We're molding you into shape. It's not hate, it's a learning experience.

Take alot of air out of the tires.
