I know there's a V thread already but figured I'd make one strictly for suspension. Pictures a plus. How is everyone going about dropping or lifting their V's

 

Or you can at least scrape the lifted thread before expecting everyone to add the info they already posted a few times elsewhere.

 

-96-00 Civic stock front shocks
-Stock rear CRV shocks
-aluminum shock tops that extended shock travel 2"
-Typical eBay aluminum coilover sleeves for 88-00 Civic.
- Summit Racing 7" tall 2.5" diameter coilover springs. Spring rates are 550 in/lb front and 350 in/lb rear. Incredibly perfect rates for this thing. Full coilover kits run way too high of a rate.
-Generic eBay adjustable rear camber arms. (not installed in pictures, rear camber out of wack).
-Shaved front upper control arms.
-99-00 Civic Si front/rear sway bar bushings.
-17x9" wheels with 28mm offset and a 215/45 Falken tire.

I think the lifted thread covers that topic very well. I wouldn't object to a lowered thread that covers those options

 

^^ that makes we realize how great r33 gt-r wheels would look on these. almost the exact same size and offset. god i wish someone would buy my car so i can get another cr-v haha.

i have lift springs only.

 

Im new to the CRV thing. Im rather glad this thread is here.
Ive looked into the lowering, asked a question in the pic thread (and got my answer)


But a friend of mine has a 99 with immaculate leather interior. Ill be buying it after the holidays and looking to make a DD out of it. Lowering, wheels/tires,tint and stereo is all ill be doing.

Im looking forward to seeing more on this thread.

 

I ran Form & Function type 2's on mine from a integra. Drove really nice and was not bouncy at all.

 

What model integra?

DC5? was it plug and play or did you have to do some modding?
Did the top hats fit?

Megan coilover sleeves ebay would of worked because i ended up buying stiffer srpings

Toyo open country at2 215/75/15
Having a 75 sidewall reads the mph more correct
It rode like it was on rails

 

Let's see that rear bar!

 

I dont have any pictures of it and also no longer have the jeep i have a 2.5 gen now it was not a pretty bar but it worked

 

Any have a second gen. Can't figure out how to lower my 06

 

by buying either megan or ksports coilovers or using the element coilover but you need to switch out the tie rod ends into element ones. thats what i have found so far.

 

I'm on d2 coilovers ,,,,best coilovers for crv ,, follow me on Instagram " th3crvcr3w "

 

Any lowering springs? Are coilovers easy to use on these?

 

the eibach springs were a nice decent and even drop for the 1st gen's. can't find them anymore tho
