New Struts question....

I've scoured the forum for awhile trying to find exactly what I need but can't find it. I've been told I need new struts on my 01 civic sedan and decided I might as well lower the car now. I'm gunna lower with Eibach or Neuspeed springs with Koni STR.T Struts. I know I'll probably need a camber kit also. Is there anything else I'm missing that I'd need? The car has almost 200,000 miles on it btw.

Not really, if everything else is in good shape. You're probably gonna want to get an alignment done afterward though.

Re: New Struts question....

anything that you would find broken there.

most common parts to fail/start making noise after a lowering is done:
- sway bar endlinks
- top strut mounts

Re: New Struts question....

Check LCA bushings and ball joints. If they are not worn now they will wear with the added stress of lowering.
