aftermarket springs w/ 19s?

first off, i dont know where to post this so i posted it both in wheels/suspension categories since it involves both...


If i got 19s, what tires would i need, and also, would i need some stiff aftermarket springs? cuz i find the stock 7th gen civic springs very bouncy.......any ideas? or suggestions?

hey whussup you from LA? should check out the socal section. we have meets every now n then.

215-35-19s are a must. nothing bigger. and ya you should be able to get away with a 1.75" drop. thats anything from neuspeed sports to goldlines to eibach sportlines. you dont NEED aftermarket springs but highly recommended cause you'll look like your 4x4'in

i wouldnt recommended sleeved coilovers cause all those are going to do are blow your shocks. if you can and want to, i would recommend you get true coilovers. they run from $900-$1200.

if not lowering springs are just fine. i would personally get neuspeed sports. there's a chance of it rubbing but theres always ways to fix it. camber kit is recommended for anything lower than 1.75"

are those the same rims that blackbullet has? Racing Hart C5s?? and yea, i was playing with the tire calculator...and for the EX, it seems as if 225/30/19 would be a better match, but the tire wall is so much smaller that your rims may get bent easier. plus, i don think 225 tires can fit under our fender cuz i already had problems fitting a 215. had to shave the inside of the fender to fit them.
