98 honda civic ex coupe lowered
Re: 98 honda civic ex coupe lowered
the short bar behind the spring is the part im told i need to replace inorder to be able to adjust the toe. (bolt to the right just above the knuckle(?)) what is that part called? i was told rear upper control arm. is there another part that adjusts the toe? i think my camber is ok but may also be a little positive.
im noticing a lot of pictures being posted but none look like the 98 civic. but maybe this one i am quoting. whenever lowering a car the toe/camber/caster get adjusted on parts that are not adjustable. honda alignment specs state certain things are not adjustable.
really confused still.... i really appreciate the help but im way off track lol

yeah, that is called upper rear control arm - potentailly it will move the trailing arm (the one connected to the hub and adjust slightly the toe.

Re: 98 honda civic ex coupe lowered
I'm sorry for this question, but I just got a nice 98 Civic HX, and would like to lower it. I have no clue where to start, or how to even do that. I'm not a mechanic, so I was wondering if someone can recommend a shop in LA or Orange county who does this kind of work, and knows how to do it right?
thank you in advance, for any suggestions.

didnt want you guys to think i forgot about you. i just wanted to say thank you. i found that my front suspension was just installed wrong. missing a few parts too at the cost of new tires and more work..... expected but this is getting costly lol. so now my front end is about 3/4" higher. found out how to adjust the rear toe after ive been told by many that its not possible.....ill always find a way to prove everyone wrong....
girls can be automotive smart too

really looking forward to an engine swap and trans swap.... ill keep you guys posted!
thanks again!!

Re: 98 honda civic ex coupe lowered
wow.
Which parts were missing?
Also, how did you end up adjusting the toe? It would be interesting to have these info to close the case.
glad eveything is on track now
