So basically this stuff?: http://cgi.ebay.com/Carbon-Kevlar-Bl...item3a57b6c337

How did you fasten it on? did you wrap it around the edge behind the cover?

Prolly. I got it from a dude that used to be on these forums. He did a lot of custom carbon fiber and carbon/kevlar work. I'm pretty sure it was applied using a resin/vacuum bagging technique with a UV-resistant clear coat of sorts.

yup, but out of his budget.
Calling a spring manufacturer is the best bet to find springs used in other cars that might work in his car.
Maybe they will not be stingy and could even indicate a spring that he can get in a scrapyard.
Worng springs could get really messy with coilbind before the bumpstops touch, and go metal-to-metal contact.

i don't even know why you'd need more space under there if you'r not going off road off roading, and just large rock off roading. the stock clearence is like 6inchs. plus use larger tires and you could get it to 8 inchs easy. you can use tires that are as tall as your outer wheel lip liner and i think it was 7inchs in width but someone will have to tell you that has more tire knowledge. as well if you have the stock body kit side skirts that came on some of the higher end ex's take them off. they make it look lower but the actual exhaust and underbody is two inchs higher then the side skirts.

easy 1 inch lift, remove strut/spring get a hockey puck and place between top of strut/spring and the body where the strut/spring mounts back up to, lol redneck lift. Or just change your car over to air bags.

Just throwin this out there. I bought an 88 s15 4x4 that didn't run for $300 off craigslist, fixed it for $150, and I only drive it when it snows or I go somewhere with sketch roads.

Now I don't need to worry about my bumper becoming an impromptu snow plow blade, or beating up my car on dirt roads. Well worth the investment in my eyes.

FWD or RWD?

Universal 2'' lift

RWD 3''-5'' lift

FWD 3'' lift

Its possible, and leaves a lasting impression.

For $900 he could just buy coil overs and get the extra height, and there has never been a RWD civic.

not possible. stock spring's base is way bigger than a hockey puck. same goes for the top part.


not stock, but there are plenty of RWD and AWD civics out there. take the civette or the hondabauru

Could they provide up to 5'' ? Usually there ajustable +/- 2''?

Any links to what your refering to, im curious.

 
Rep Power: 285

those aren't stock, they're are custom.

That link only provides 3 inches of lift on a FWD, but a coil over will give +2 without a weird f*cked up suspension mod that would probably destroy handling. Plus, your car would only be weird looking when you need it to be with coil overs.
Those kits were designed for low riders who run massive rims, they work well for those set-ups, but I would never use it on a civic.


Btw..
