Rep Power: 0 new guy on the forum with some questions
Hey guys im new on the forum, i just got a 2005 rallye red 2dr lx civic. I have a stereo and 35% tint. I also bought some 17in 5 spoke wheels but i really wanna get new springs. I found the tien s tech springs on another post and i really like the hieght. I am not a huge fan of the super low look. I just want to get rid of the monster truck look. I think the web site says like a 1.38 in drop. Would i need to get new shocks/struts too? My car has like 2000 miles on it. thanks!! i can post pics of the civic later.

Rep Power: 0 Stock shocks suck, but I didnt upgrade and I rode around with a 2" drop. Tien s techs are known for sagging so with your system I might try a different route.

Rep Power: 0 Before you consider buying struts for your suspension, I would recommend purchasing a Camber Kit in order to maintain a good alignment (especially after an investment into rims/tires). Struts won't hurt, however if you are on a budget, camber kit by far. I'm assuming by owning a system you don't track much, correct?
