Default What about lowering suspension for a 05 4drs civic?

Hi guys

My friend just bought a 2005 honda civic 4drs.

He wants to lower it and he has some interrogations.

What's the best Bang for the buck ? He wants to lower aprox. 2.5". He doesnt matter about the shocks. His wife drive the car about 10 miles per days and the road is very clean, no big holes.

- Can you post your setup? Brand and specs, pics if possible!

- Does 2drs coil fits on 4drs?

- Do you know "SprintSpring" ? http://www.sprintspring.com/ It's seems to be nice, and not too expensive.

- Have you noticed that the rear is often lower that the front? Why? My friend don't want it!

- Please help us to find a good drop for his car, your opinion is welcome!



Thanks a lot!

Well the stock shocks can't handle more then 1.5in. with out blowing out quicker. The best set up is ground control coil overs which are a spring and adjusting nut. Then throw in some Koni yellows and your good to go. I have the Ground Controls on and they give you like a 3in drop if you want.

for God's sake...do your own research....this forum isn't here for you to ask questions that can easily be answered by pressing the search button.

sorry if that came off as harsh...I'm having a crap day.
