I have a 99 civic and i want to lower it but i dont want to spend alot of money on it but i also dont want to regret going cheap so what should i do?

 

i had a 98 ex and i was lowered on kyb agx with yellow neuspeed springs... i liked the riide

 

how much are you looking to spend first off?

 

probably about 500

 

With that I would buy some Neuspeed springs, skunk2 camber kit, and some new struts

 

struts and springs..u dont need a camber kit with lower springs

 

yeah i was thinking about getting the skenk 2 springs and struts. thanks for all of your help

 

be sure to get a nice alignment done too afterwards

 

go cheap or go home.

 

How much of a drop do you want and what kind of ride quality?

 

buy used lowering springs on this forum.

 

im looking for about a 2 to 3 inch drop and the ride quality doesnt matter to much

You say that now, but after a few months, you'll change your mind. Plus girls don't always like ridding around in lowered car. You might like watching their **** bounce around but they won't put up with it for long

Since ride quality doesn't matter you should look into Skunk2 adjustable coilovers and just use your stock struts.

if i did that is there a chance that i would blow out my struts.

 

not a chance just a matter of time.. skunk2 is really stiff and the lower you go the less time they will last just at the least get skunk2 sport shocks or something comparable

 

yeah thats what i was planning on doing

 

Those coilovers were designed to fit your stock struts. We wouldn't make a part to work simultaneously with another, just so the other part would blow. I'd recommend saving up a bit and look into some full coilovers such as our Pro S model or any other brand of choice, or if your really on a budget just pick up a set of the adjustable coilovers on the link I sent to you in the previous message. We sell those constantly and never get complaints of people blowing their stock struts with them.

 

i was thinking of getting the skunk2 springs and the skunk2 sport shocks.

That's a good choice too.

 

sweet thanks for your help man.

 

If you were looking for a milder drop like 1.5 in just get some Tein S-techs on your stock struts, the ride will be very good too

 

no i want it pretty low but thanks for the input
