I want to see how low my car is compared to stock form. If anyone with a stock suspension + d16a6 motor 90-91 Si Hatch could go out and measure the distance from the ground to some point on a front side (like the bottom of the bumper near the tire), I will love you long time. Let me know if you still have the front lip on too. Thanks!

 

bump, someone's got to still be stock

 

torteX is rocking stock all day long. Ill get a pic of his car for you.

From the brochure for the '90 Civics....
Hatchbacks, DX and Si ... 52.5 inches high

Doesn't say to what point, but I'd assume the highest point on the roof.

 

thanks guys, I'll IM torteX. I guess I'll see if that 52.5in makes sense when I go home and measure my car, but I would rather have a measurement up front.

Edit: Tortex's car may be too modified for me to look at. His car only weighs 1700 lbs Ideally I would like a completely untouched Si. Perfectionists's number may be my only way to go. Unless I see a stock Si in a parking lot somewhere

anyone else?

 

i have a 1990 si, its stock everything except for the motor, does that not fit your criteria, because i will go measure from the ground to the lowest part of the front and rear bumper if you would like me to.

 

you pm'd me about that...sorry the idiot b4 had cut springs.

crx ride height stock is 25.3 up front 25.8 rear measured at the top of the fender lip

 

When I say stock, I just mean that you have the same motor or similar in there, not a b16 or something that adds significant weight. So if your motor is still the d16a6 (with or without mods) and you still are riding on the stock suspension, please take a measurement for me! I'm going to measure mine tonight. Thanks for the replies guys. I don't know if the CRX can work here. Every 1/10" counts with what I'm trying to find out. I'm trying to get exact as possible and I dont need any other variables.

 

Well, I measured some stuff on my car. The bottom of the lip on the front bumper is about 6" from the ground. It's about 22.5" to the top of the wheelwell. I tried to take a measurement from the ground to the roof, the best I could estimate was 49". I can't wait for the new springs. I hope these Eibach Sportlines are nice.

 

I have the Eibach Sportlines they handle like a dream BUT be ready to have your teeth rattled right out ofthe back of your head.

If you put 17s on there it will be even worse. But it looks pretty f*cking sweet to have it sitting low.

What springs are you getting? I have the 1.7" drop springs. With Tokico struts.

 

you know nothing about rattling until you've been in my car. Currently I have Neuspeed Sports with Koni Yellows, and it looks like the drop is close to 3.5" now than the 2" that they are supposed to be. Hope fully the Eibachs raise me up and strengthen my ride again. If not, I'm gonna sell em and buy Tein SS's or something. But right now I am eating tires and ruining axles from sitting so damn low. Not to mention I almost broke my cat from rubbing the bottom at my friends shop. Now I have the exhaust leak from hell because the bolts are bent 90 degrees and the cat is separated 1/2" from the header. Hopefully ALL will be taken care of on Sunday when it goes on the lift.

 

 

Stock 1990 DX .. here are some heights for you.

if you know anything about O2 Sensors and ECUs
could use some help..
put a New O2 sensor in after a check engine and ecu 1 code
still throwing the light and code after new O2

hoping its not my ECU going bad

I pulled the O2 connector.. ran it at 2500rpm for 4 minutes.. NO CODE
I would have thought it would code with the O2 disconnected.

anyway here ya go
hope it helps
