Coilover ride quality and other mods
Yo guys,
Just got me a black 05 Civic EX SE. I know, I looked at the SI but just couldn't get over the looks. Anyways, have a couple questions. I'm wanting to put a good set of coilovers on and do a small drop like 3/4" or so. What will the ride quality be like with a good set of coilovers be like compaired to stock? Also, looking and reading about everyones mods, I haven't come accross a rear disk brake conversion. Anyone do this, or know anywhere that sells a conversion kit to get the nasty drums off of there? Have a great weekend and thanks in advance.

I know you are new to this forum but please read the FAQs. You need to specify full coils or sleeved coils. Just get a set of Eibach Prokits that are only a 1" drop. Any time you lower your car it will lose ride quality. AGain, read the suspension FAQ.
Also, if you say you searched for the rear brake conversion, then you didn't look hard enough. It is clearly in the Wheels, Tires, Brakes FAQ

I don't mean to bash you but there is tons of info on this site...all you have to do is read and search. It isn't that hard.
