Sup H-T I was wondering what set-up i should use for lowering my car and have a good stiff ride. I have a 99 Civic sedan thanks.

 

first off what is your budget?

 

below a whopping 5 bills.

 

are you wanting lowering springs or coilovers?

 

how low do you want to go?

 

i got some skunk2 adjustable coilovers for like 2 something on ebay....

 

I've got the same question.

I just want the a little bit of drop, just to make it look better. Something like an inch or so.

 

it all depends if you want adjustability or not. You can go with springs or adjustable coilovers. I suggest you also replace your shocks/struts when you are going to lower your car. There are also adjustable shocks/struts. Or you can go with a full coilover suspension.

 

I just ordered new wheels and such so I'm taking my stock DX and putting a full coilover suspension on it...from everyone I know this seems to be the best route but I'm still learning my self.

 

if only an inch take a look at tein s-techs... coilovers are nice but often ride like ****, unless you get nice shocks to go with.

 

Skunk2 for under 500 bucks is what I would recommend... or hold off and save up another 300 and get Ksport...

 

Yes exactly , from what Ive read even if you had top of the line coilovers and crappy shocks it'd be a shitty ride. but like I said I'm stilll learning

 

just get adjustable coilovers, and you don't need to worry about shocks...

 

^ yea, freind had gcs on stocks, and it was horrid, another has no names on tokico whites and its far better, also ride quailty is a opinon and changes from person to person.

 

True story...

 

only if he buys 1 peice coilovers,
buy slip ons and your blow the shock in a hurry if they arent replaced with aftermarket shocks.

 

i would just go with adjustable coil overs but thats my opinion

 

I agree...

 

I have done:

1. Coilover Sleeves on Stock shocks
2. Lowering Springs on Stock Shocks
3. Lowering Springs on Koni Yellows
4. Full Coilover Setup


I would recommend goin with a Full Coilover Setup. I currently use a Full Coilover setup on my 05 STi and 2000 Civic Si Coupe. The ride quality is so much better than any other combo I have tried.

 

Thanks guys. i just want to drop it just enough room under the wheel well not to snugged we have alot of potholes in massachusetts. Probably just do something simple like some springs any good recommendations?

 

If you want to go with springs, i have eibach sportline w/ stock shocks on there and it's alright. Not the best, but certainly not the worst

 

tein s techs, or eibach, h&r

 

im using stock shocks.

 

Tein s techs are pretty decent with stock shocks, that's what I'm rolling on, the rides pretty good, it looks nice and is high enough for the street. It's got less body roll then with stock springs as well.

 

op, you really should look into aftermarket shocks, they are worth the money to upgrade them, at least get kyb agx.
