Default New to the H-Tech with a 1991 civic wagon

Hi everyone!
So I picked up a 91 civic wagon last night that is so freaking clean, "I'll post some pics soon". I have owned a 91 crx in the past, "all stock and a 00 civic, "all stock". I would like to lower the wagon but all I am finding is springs for civic 2-4 dr nc wagon. Can anyone guide me in the right path?

Thanks...

Depends on what kind of drop you are looking for.

My advice would be to get a coilover setup that can handle the weight of the wagon, and you can then set the height to what you like. Of course make sure you get a camber/toe adjustment kits for front and rear because the wagon WILL camber out bigtime and the toe will need more adjustment beyond it's stock limit.

Right now I am riding on CRX H&R Race Springs with Tokico whites, and it rides pretty darn good but in all honesty I wanna go with a stiffer setup. The wagon is a fat girl, so it needs a little more stability imo. The HR setup I got is good, but could be better. I am afraid to turn up the dampeners on the shocks...may get extended top hats before buying new shocks.

Check out HondaCivicWagon.com for all your Wagon needs. It's a dedicated community for the wagon.

welcome wagoneer!

These wagons do have a lot of body roll, but if you look around, you should be able to find some used skunks2 coilovers that will fit on the stock shocks. Those and a little camber adjustment, with some strut towers should fix you up.
