my girl wants to lower her car a little to give it a more agressive look. I was thinking about putting skunk 2 lowering springs on it. I got them on my 97 ex with kyb struts and it rides great. my question is can I put the springs on her car(05 civic LX) without performance struts? or will it eventually blow out the struts?

 

with mild dropping lowering springs u will be alright, coils or something over 2in then i would say it would blow. i mean **** its an 05...

 

thanks. I think skunk 2 is about a 2.5 inch drop. so I wouldnt have to have new struts?

almost everything I found has a 2.5 inch drop minimum except eibac( spelling may be wrong) but dont know anyone who has ever had them.

skunk 2 is the only brand I have ever bought. before that I got ebay springs that blew every thing. still need new bushings and axles but no more ebay for suspension parts.

 

check to see what the spring rates from the 05 and compare if its not to far off should be alright.

 

tein s-tech are 1.8 drop all around...im putting those on my 95 lx with stock struts..

 

yea good idea

 

Ya I had Skunk2 adjustable coilover sleeves on my 03 Si and I have just the drop springs in my Del Sol right now. They are definently a quick and cheap way to make your car look legit, perfect drop IMO....but it's definently Bumpy! Shocks should be OK for a little while...but if she's daily driving I'd say definently get shocks down the line....
