Need help!!!!Lowering!!!
This is my first car that I have wanted to make mods too So I dont knwo very much about springs, tuning etc...I have been reading threads and product info on stuff, but I have no idea on what route to take. I want to lower my car about 1 to 1.5". I have 17" rims. I drive my car alot for work. I alreday have 36000 miles on it, but I also race some auto cross events some. Im not heavy into racing just like to run my car sometimes for fun. Lowering springs, coilovers, ground control...im lost Do i need to adujust camber for normal driving and racing? I can afford to spend $500 , but the less expensive the better. HELP!

Rep Power: 0 i got hr springs on my civic. it's the sport lines series. 1.25 drop. with the stock shocks. still has a comfortable ride. makes a difference in the look and ride of your car. especially if you're going to put on aftermarket rims and tires. i'm running 18's.

Rep Power: 0 Actually, that isn't correct information there NBPCivic...the Sportlines will drop your ride about 2.25 after they settle...the Pro-Kit on the other hand lowers it the 1.5 after settling. About the HR and all those, I have no clue...I wouldn't ride on anything but Eibachs....but I'm picky.

Rep Power: 0 he's right, i dropped my car 1.5 inches on an eibach pro kit, and slapped some 215/40r17 on there so i wouldn't throw off my speedometer and it looks killer. everything came out to 800= tires, prokit, drop, and alignment. They said i needed camber kits in the rear but it such a small angle. that i didnt bother.

Rep Power: 0 i put nuespeed racing springs in and its a 2.5 drop in the front and 2"
in the back. they went for 239$ with tax. i did the install myself and to tell you the truth it was the very easy. took about 3 and a half hours though. the drop looks sick with 17" ROH adrenlins and some toyo 40 low pros. no wheel well at all and no more high honda a$$.
