I have a 1993 Honda Civic DX, I do not want a massive drop since it is already fairly low stock. I am looking for .5 to 1 inch drop; I also do want it to ride "bouncy" or rough, I want a fairly smooth ride just slightly stiffer than stock. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I also need a passenger side mirror since it did not come with one. Any suggestions?

It also needs a tachometer. Will any stock honda tach work? I do not want an aftermarket huge one. I want a nice clean stock Honda one

 

eibach pro kit is like a 1.3.

and any model with the stock tach will plug and play.

 

what type of ride with those? 1.3 is still a little big. WOuld I need new shocks/struts as well? Sorry for the noob questions but I just got the car not familiar with Hondas yet

 

a 1.3 isnt bad at all, people you see scraping on **** all the time are dropped like 2 or more inches, springs ride very nice compared to dampeners, so itll be a little stiff, but not too bouncy. as for companies, check out tanabe's new line up, they have a wide variety of drops and ride quality. lastly, for the mirror situation check out some replica spoons or if you want something stock the junkyard.

 

pro kits are good, they will give you a nice ride.

 

i had about a 3 inch drop on my eg hatch and i was still clearing speed bumps

 

i got skunk2 race lowering springs 2.5" drop in the front and 2.25" in the rear. i never scrap unless i got more than 2 people in the back.

1- for your lowering, i would suggest coilovers. so that way you can adjust the amount you'd like it to be lowered. i think the rates are from 0 (stock) up to 4" depending on the brand but most likely 3"
2- why not just get another cluster if you want a stock honda tach, get an si or a jdm one if you wanna spend the $
3- http://www.jdmshit.com has good mirrors i've heard and Newman is a very helpful guy! if your not looking to spend that much check out eBay. i saw a set of fake spoon style c/f look ones for 39.99 i think! + shipping

good luck

Dips in the road aren't speed bumps

I like this guy, yes if I were you I would look into Tanabe Springs those are the only springs I use and I love the ride and handling and they have some springs that don't lower that much. The only thing I will say is I would upgrade to shocks at the same time, I always do and I use the good old cheap KYB AGX's. That combination is a very good handling and riding car and you can make it ride pretty stiff for the money.

 

the roads are flat down here buddy i think i know what a speed bump is

 

I ended up getting Vogtland springs and KYB AGX Struts

I got good prices too!
