Strut Spacers for 21 civic hatch
Strut Spacers for 21 civic hatch
So I recently bought rotiforms in the perfect size I believed for the car after fitting tires and having it back down to its aftermarket ride height it was too low and there wasn’t near enough room and I was running a little. So my options are either swap out my lowering springs for stocks or get strut tower spacers to give myself a little bit more room while not making it look like a monster truck. Is there any good websites/ manufacturers of strut spacers for the front and rear of 21 civics?

Strut spacers don't sound safe.
What are the rim specs (diameter, width, offset) and tire size?

again, off-set? tire size? or do you not know them? tire size is stamped into the tire sidewall, go read them
add what lowering springs

Thanks.
I meant the pics of the car with the tire/wheel...
the sport and sport touring have the 235/35R19 as option
https://tiresize.com/tires/Honda/Civic/2021/
the wheel offset (for the lower rim sizes) is around 45-50
https://www.wheel-size.com/size/honda/civic/2021/
you have the tire one step lower in width, offset seem to be correct...
so i can only say that 2" drop was too much, based on information so far.

Agreed but the 2 inch was the only size lowering spring available for the civic and with stock wheel and tire size it worked perfect but not with the aftermarket’s
Re: Strut Spacers for 21 civic hatch
The outer lip of the tire is rubbing ever so slightly with the fender just every now and then so I’m trying to find out a way to, even when the spring is compressed down, have a bit of clearance from tire to fender

Re: Strut Spacers for 21 civic hatch
Here a's a short list of springs I found for the 2018 civic hatch from a quick 5 minute search
Eibach pro kit: 1" front/0.8" rear
Eibach sportline: ~1.4" front/1.2" rear
Tein S-tech: 1.4" F/R
Tein H-tech: 0.8" F/R
H&R: 1.25" front/1" rear
Skunk2: 1.3" front/1.25" rear
Megan Racing: 1" F/R
(and the ones you got) D2: 1.7" front/1.9" rear
Should also be noted that I personally went with OEM Si springs in my hatch for a very modest 10mm drop, but more benefit from the higher spring rate. The thing about the 10thgens.. they don't look like a 4x4 stance like previous generations. I have a BMW buddy that asked how much I lowered my car, told him 10mm, and he refused to believe me since he said it looked like it was lowered for sure. He used to mod EGs and EKs back in the 90s, and is currently modding his '14 BMW 3 series. I didn't wanna slam it, and I kept it "high" since I take my car on dirt roads when me and my buddies go out to the desert and use our high velocity paper punchers. If anything, I might swap out to a set of eibach pro-kits, but I'm content as it sits now. I scrape my rhino ramps as it is already, and my front lip can sometimes scrape when I come out of my driveway.
