Well first off I plan on lowering my 97' Honda Civic, and I plan on purch. this suspension set up from E-bay. I know it's a risk, but I'm willing to take it. My car is for daily driving purposes only, so theres no abuse to my car at all. And I'm on a low budget.

Is this all I would need to have a decent lower? And what about the Rear Cambers, would I need those? If so could I buy some different brand ones? Is that all that is needed?

Thank You.

 

Don't do it. If you want to go low buy some lowering springs, eibach, H&R, tein etc

 

I don't want to go low low, I just want to lower it a bit, I'll be happy with .5-2 inches.

 

Suspension is one area you do not want to go cheap on. you can get springs that only lower you about an inch, just look around.

 

But won't I need cambers then?? Because I got some adjustable springs from a friend. They're not the whole Coilover system, but just the adjustable coils. I asked around at a few shops, and they all said I'll need cambers and an alignment .. I'll post a pic of them in a second.

But my friend said, all I would need to do is replace the stock coils with them. Is that true?

 

These are the exact ones.

Look at the top sticky, i lowered 2.5 inches and im not running a camber kit.

 

"Is this all I would need to have a decent lower?"

What are you going to do about shocks? What are the spring rates? Presumably the spring rates are above stock to accomodate lowering and not bottoming out. Will your shocks blow? The O-rings are to try to eliminate noise and rattle on the shock body, and often do not work well. Why do I ask these questions? I do not like to admit that I tried similar years ago. Cheap Ebay coilovers. First I blew the shocks, then got them replaced under warranty, and blew them again. Next the springs begin to sag. They rattled most of the time. I actually got by for a couple years, cheaply as I did my own labor. All of that was before I started reading the forums. Lots of learning here of HT. All of that said, you can go this route and plan on upgrading. I learned a lot, but am now happy to learn from others and do less repair and replacement. Also, if you go that route, keep an eye on things. If the springs are poor quality, make sure that you have good bump stops, you will need them, or will bottom out. I could go on, but you will get the idea.

 

dont buy cheap coilovers. or any coilover sleeves by themselves at all.. just get some lowering springs off of ebay instead. cheap brands are ok. the drop will range anywhere from 1" - 2.5"
here you go. $48 shipped. and you wont need a camber kit.
