yes it would look bad imo. 17's? way to big for a civic, but i'm guessing your car isn't jdm inspired. post pics, lets see what it looks like =P

JDM inspired? LOL

Anyways, OP: If you want to put your car on airbags, and you've already seen it done before on your style Civic ('92-'95), then I don't see why you shouldn't. Although I do advise you do plenty of research before dropping some cash into something like that, if you want to do it right the first time.

Put them on photobucket, it supports remote linking.

In any event, don't do it, your handling suffers because of it, and airbags are for show cars, despite ur 17" rims, ur civic isn't a show car...

Dont airbag your civic just lower it. You can get lowering springs or adjustable selves if you are on a tight budget. And you made a big mistake putting your myspace on honda- tech.

Link directly to the image next time, not an HTML page that contains the image.

Define what you want the car to be, and if you want it to be a show car and never plan on racing it and all that, do it. I would personally not do it but I probably have a different definition of what looks good and what its going to be used for than you do. But define your goals for the car and that should help your decision on suspension.
