Re: Question on lowering 96ex coupe

at the very least, you need springs and upgraded shocks (that are rated for a lower drop, not stock) and a camber kit + alignment. the rear camber kit is the most important. and dont forget alignment when everything is installed. if you want to prevent future problems, front LCA bushings and sway bar endlinks should also be upgraded.

Re: Question on lowering 96ex coupe

oh yeah i forgot pre 2001 civic has a different suspension. adjustable shocks prolly arent needed, esp if you will not be adjusting them. daily driver springs and shocks are fine. the tokico HP (blue) is pretty good for up to a 1.5 inch drop if they make it for your car.

Re: Question on lowering 96ex coupe

and visually inspect the bushings for cracks/tears.
Note: camber kits for these gen are complete LCA, so they should come with bushings.
