Default Question on my Setup

I have a <U>1996 HB Civic</U> and recently bought mags that are <U>16''inch by 7'' wide</U> with a <U>+38mm offset</U> and some <U>Toyo Prox 205/45/16</U> tires. I want a drop and after alot of reading i will go for the Koni Yellow. I want to know which coils could fit with this setup. I don't want to go through the problem of rolling my fenders and it is more of a drop height question then performance. Just instead of giving my a height (1.5'' or 2.0'' maximum drop etc....) i would like to know which coils would drop the car so that it won't RuB against my front or back fenders.

All the important facts have been given just tell me how low i can go without rubbing or rolling my fenders i think i cannot go pass 1.5'' inchs any commments will be thought of because i can get Eibach Spotline for very cheap!. Thank you!

4.<U>Toyo Prox 205/45/16</U>]

THANK YOU!

Try it and see. This "question" (telling us to tell you something is not a question) is unanswerable. Both spring rates and ride height will determine the amount of rubbing. And unless you find someone else with the exact same car, wheels, tires, alignment settings, and spring rates, then no one can ever tell you the exact height you can drop to.

Also, punctuation, grammar, overall writing, sigh... If you want help, make it so people can actually read it.

7. Bump once and if you still don't get the info you're looking for just let it die, don't bump it again. If you bump the topic a second time, the topic will be locked and you will lose points. Think about this - this means that if you use your single bump on your topic after an hour, when it's still at or near the top of the forum topic list anyway, it will be wasted when it doesn't accomplish anything for you.

my suggestion to you is to get some GC's, you will have to do some research to see which rates you will want. with adjustables you can lower it until it rubs then raise it up a little so it won't
