Just got a free 01 civic coupe and I want to lower the car but I’m not sure how to go abouts on what I wanna do to lower it

I’m not trying to spend a load of money on this car
it’s a daily I drive 100 a car

so it’s gonna be my budget friendly car/build

bc my other big project is my truck that I’m starting

thanks
bobby

Coilovers or lowering springs are pretty much your only bet. A decent set of coilovers will probably run in the $700-ish USD range and while lowering springs can be had for less, they offer virtually no adjustability.

I never put coilovers on mine but a couple guys on here have had good experiences with the Tein stuff.

I was think on some race lands but I’ve heard they ride stiff as **** so I don’t know

I’m trying to mainly get rid of the wheel gap and but a set of 16s under the car

but my budget is my main thing

eh... I wouldn't go racelands.

suspension, tires, brakes. A few of the things I would never cheap out on. If it keeps me connected to the ground, off the ground, or prevents me from hitting the dude in front of me, yeah, I'm gonna save up a little while longer to make sure I get quality stuff. Seen far too many horror stories with racelands

What about lowering springs I’m honestly just try to get rid of some wheel gap and slap some 16s on it

tokico HP struts all around and tein S-tech springs will get rid of a good amount of wheel gap. Just shy of 1.5" drop all around. That wheels/tires combo are 17s wrapped in 215/45-17s

Cheapest but reliable as possible.

I don’t think I wanna stance the car but I’m not 100% sure honestly

it’s my first civic so I’m not sure what I wanna do with it

I mean I got the car for free and I’m not trying to sink 1000+ into for car for suspension parts
