Rep Power: 247 want to tuck 205/50/15 what are my options?
hey guys. as the title says i have 205/50/15 i wanna tuck on my 02 ex sedan. i have searched the site and nothing really helps me in my question. what options do i have to tuck these size tires on what suspension and how much will it cost me? generally i am looking to spend the least amount of money possible while having the peace of mind that i am driving on a safe set up... thanks for any help guys
edit: [needs to be ride height adjustable just in case i dont wanna ride low anymore lol]

Rep Power: 251 read the suspension faq first.
but it sounds like you want coilovers. and having a "safe" coilover setup is by no means cheap. dont be like me and get sleeved coilovers and run it with stock struts. it blew my OEM struts within weeks and thats a safety hazard when driving

Rep Power: 399 ummmm try making the wheel wells smaller. I don't see that happening and still having any suspension travel, that is of course.... if you have any steering gearbox left.

Rep Power: 289 first off 850, gets you coilovers, cheap coilovers. Second you need camber kits, then you need alignments all the time. Your ebay coilovers aren't gonna cut it. You might want to roll your fenders if you want to slam it. just so you can keep the tires straight but in the fender.

Rep Power: 247 im sure my ride can get more comfortable than it is right now. i fly on lil bumps. i dont hear of any civics flying. lol like i literally catch air... and no i dont get any noises. everything is perfect fitment wise and no noises except for the ride quality. everyone says my car is the bumpiest car they ever riden in. just as long as i dont fly il be happy. 850 can get me some tiens... i dont think those are 'cheap' are they?
i at least want no wheel gap. the wheel gap is so ugly. lol on my stock tires it was tucking a bit i liked it. but after i got my low pros i got a 1 finger gap now.
i dont think i need to roll the fender though. isnt it when you turn the car gets slightly raised, so if if its dropped at perfect height there should be just enough room to tuck and clear the fender while turning correct?

Rep Power: 247 tougEMII: f2 coils? i never heard of those before. wat is that coilover system comparable to? [edit] wow those f2 coils LOOK awesome. i wonder if they perform well though. seems like a very good deal for that kind of money. how come i have never heard of them though?
