i have got one because i am poor. actually i am trying to decide what I should do reguarding this damn car. if any one on long island has a eg hatch they want to trade for a sedan hit me up. i might lower it soon but it just seems like a waste of money for this car.

well, i've seen some nicely done up 4drs. I just got a strict dad who thinks its unsafe to lower and a waste of money. If i can convince him that both these are wrong, then i can lower it. I just have to be patient i guess.

I do: 95 Civic EX at stock height

I admit it looks bad but might as well throw them on. I got a killer deal. It's not lowered yet b/c of money and roads over here suck so

mines stock because of the weather and the poor road conditions up in alaska. Of course being in alaska and my car not being lowered is a temporary thing

Hey I used to have a Camry that was owned by my parents, and they didn't let me do much as far as major mods (not that much could be done anyway to a 1989 Camry ). Well with over 100K miles I convinced them that it needed new struts, and I also convinced them that I should get "stiffer" springs because I wanted it to handle better. I never specifically said "lowering" springs, I just said stiffer. They used to get all on my case if I did something to the car w/o telling them, but I told them that I was putting these springs and struts on, so they couldn't do anything.

I drove my carhome from the dealership and lowered it. Then I went to work. I had a couple sets of lowering spring left over in my garage from past projects.
