Question Lowering Civic?

Hey everyone, I just got some Konig 17" wheels with Khumo tires and now I am thinking of lowering my civic. I currently have an extended warranty on my civic, but since I have my new rims, the suspension warranty is void. So im thinking of going with a 2" drop. Will that work? I am thinking of going with dropzone springs. Also, do I need a new camber kit for my rear wheels that will support a 2" drop? I can get all these things off ebay, I just need to make sure what I need. Thanks!

YOU DO NOT WANT DROPZONE. go with only name brand. you get what you pay for. check the suspension sticky thread. 2" drop you will need for sure a rear camber and i would gte a front camber kit too. SPC, Ingals, Eibach are all good camber kits. go with either eibach, h&r, neuspeed, goldline, skunk2 coilovers, tein coilovers, or tien ss springs. something name brand.

if you thinking to get springs. go get goldlines. good reviews good price . drop all around 1 .75 but remember you will need to get new shocks eventually. koni is only aftermarket shocks for our car. and its bitch to install that thing. so its your choice. i went with tein ss true coilovers. it will pay off eventually. and also you will need probably need camber kit as well. go with spc. ok im done

Who told you this? If you drop your car, and there is a problem with the suspension, then the suspension portion of your warranty would be void. The only way your warranty can be voided is if the shop can prove that your mod is what caused the problem. If someone is telling you that your 17" wheels caused your struts to fail. You need to cry :zbsflag: If you are worried about your warranty leave it stock until the warranty runs out. If you don't mind having to pay for repairs, what was the point of getting the extended warranty in the first place.

First off don't get drop zone. They are generic shitty springs.
I would reccomend Goldline (What I have), Eibach, or Neuspeed. You will have to get new struts eventually. If you want coilovers go with Tein SS.

You will need a camber kit for the rear and the front is so cheap that you may as well get that too.
