What's your guys opinion for a 2001 civic 4 door

And what's really the difference between the two?

I know it's almost a 2" drop

 
Rep Power: 243

The pros are a 1 inch drop and the sportlines are 1.4 inch. I have the sportlines on my 01 and like them. The only thing that might bother you is that the back wheel gap will be smaller then the front. I have 1 finger gap in rear and 2 1/2 to 3 in front. The car sits level it just looks like its not.

And that is one of the reasons u get coilovers.

You generally want a lower drop in front than the rear to even the gap of the front/rear.

The Only lowering spring that does this is the neuspeed springs

Would you mind putting pics on this thread? Mines a 01 and I want to see what it looks like if you don't mind

And what shocks/struts do you use

 
Rep Power: 0

If I do, do the ebachi with that gap will it mess anything up?

I was looking into 17" rims with low pro tires

 
Rep Power: 352

no. it doesnt really do anything. by nature, our car's front is higher than the rear to compensate for the wheel turning left/right.

most manufactures dont take that into account and "lower" the car the same length every corner.

any civic owner (our 7th gens) that is lowered with springs will tell you its not even.

look at these pictures for example. look at it closely. the rear is dropped even with the front.

Okay I see it now, but If I do choose prolines/ tokico blues

That wouldn't be a bad set up?

H&R takes it into account too.

 
Rep Power: 352

its sportlines or prokits...

not "prolines"

hahah...


but you can go with with eibach (make of sprortlines/prokits) they make great stuff.

personally 1" drop is not noticable. 2" drop would be better in my opinion.

im dropped 4" and i still dailydrive without a problem.

Every time I type pro it comes up with proline lol

But if I do a 4" drop will I get raped by speed bumps lol?

I want the drop like the pictures you posted

So neu and h&r will allow 4" how much do they run?

Since eibach is 1.4

The only way to surpass a 2.25 inch drop (neuspeed race) is with an adjustable set-up with a minimum of koni yellows.

Here is a pic of mine that you can see the larger gap in the front. Eventually I am going to get coil overs but these are good for now. I did need a camber kit in the back to set it back to factory. If this is going to bother you then get the Neuspeed, H&R, or adjustable coil overs.

The first picture-are those sportlines or are those some other spring? And if they are sportlines is it riding on tokicos?

How far did you drop?

And what set up are you using?
(shocks springs and or struts)

 
Rep Power: 352

sportlines or prokits dont drop 4"

they only drop like 1-1.75" ish depending on which u get.

heres what a 3.5ish inch drop looks like. pretty much flush

 
Rep Power: 0

And which set up did they use for that drop? That looks like the length I want to go

 
Rep Power: 243

I have sportlines (1.4"), Tokico D-Spec in the rear and stock struts in the front.

 
Rep Power: 0

What's really the difference if I get all 4 struts, front and back

Then usually having 2 struts and 2 shocks

In your guys opinion what should I get?

 
Rep Power: 285

The only difference between the front and rear is the body the damper sits in.

im on koni yellow and eibach ground control (basically a coilovers setup)

 
Rep Power: 0

How much did the set of koni yellows run you?

 
Rep Power: 352

Koni was around 700. And the eibach was around 350

 
Rep Power: 352

The yellow are a-freaking-mazing. Their adjustability is awesome and are well known in the autox industry.

But they are a b1tch to install. Not your typical easy install job

A set of 4 is 700? Hmm

Well that's not bad especially paying 1k total

Coil overs are 1k period lol
