HELP: Lowering car ?
I want to lower my civic about 3" and im using coilovers. However I wasnt sure if I need to buy new struts as well or if the stock shocks I have now will be ok. My car is new so my original shocks are in good condition. Any help will be appreciated. thanx

Rep Power: 416 3" buy new struts.. no point in using stocks as they'll blow pretty fast. only ones out now are koni yellow inserts which run $550. also get a rear camber kit. your tires are going to tuck so you should also roll your fenders and keep a negative camber. the front, you might have trouble getting it down to 3" so you might have to take out the fender well. not sure how safe it is on the engine. should look nice tho

Rep Power: 0 damn 3"?! i think thats too low, well its too low for me anyway. i lowered my car only 2.25" and its only about 3" from the ground. so with a 3" drop you're going to be scraping all over the place, but like what VNlilMAN said, get aftermarket shocks and a rear camber kit, you don't really need one on the front.
