Hi , I just purchased a 2001 Honda civic coupe LX with 17.000 original miles on it. I purchased this car for my son who gets his license in February.
We are looking to lower it and add some camber to the rear.
What are some good websites to shop for and what is the best name brand stuff for these mods?
What size wheels and tires will fit when it's lowered without rubbing issues?
Thanks , Marty

Websites:
Dezod, Corsport, Summit, Andy's Auto

Companies for Springs:
Eibach, Tein

Camber Arms:
Ingalls, SPC

Running will depend how low you want to go and what offset wheel you get.
Do you want adjustability like with coilovers?

Re: New civic owner

What do you think of procivic.com or skunk2?
I think adjustable is what I want. I don't want it non drivable but a lower clean stance and some wheels I think will get rid of the granny look.

Re: New civic owner

I have no personal experience with pro civic but they seem like a reputable company. eBay is where you really have to be careful.

If your looking at Skunk2 sleeves and springs I would rather go with Ground Control. Excellent company and they use Eibach springs.
