01 Civic suspension help.

Current setup H&R with tokico blue struts. Problem front is lower than back.
I want to lower the car more but leave the back lower.

What spring can i buy that will offer me this setup? or at least lower the car more than 1.4. I don't want coilovers just springs thanks.

Re: 01 Civic suspension help.

I said the front is lower than the back.... i want to either equalize the car or lower the car a bit more with springs not coilovers.

Re: 01 Civic suspension help.

the front should always be lower, unless you have blown shocks or too much weight in the trunk. if youre that picky, you need adjustable coilovers.

there are springs too that have different F&R drops aren't there? I think eibach makes a 1.8" F and 2.0" R set of springs, which could equalize things?

And the front is the heaviest part of your car, so it'll always be lower.

Re: 01 Civic suspension help.

i just lowered my car yesterday (blew a ball joint in the process)
i have tokico hp shocks and tanabe springs. it lowered 1.8in all around. however like everyone said the front is slightly lower than the back, not noticable. but its about 1/8 of an inch lower.
it will always be slightly lower in the front. if you want a dead even drop coilovers are the way to go.
