Question about lowering my car in GTA
I heard you'll blow you shock pretty quickly if you just get spring. How much would spring(any decent one with 1.5ish drop)+Koni Yellow+Camber kit would cost me including installation? I can't do this right now since I don't have much saving at the moment. Anyone know how much this would cost around GTA?
Oh btw I have 2002 1.7EL which is basically Civic sedan. Am I correct to assume that any suspension components that fit in Civic sedan will fit in my car?

How's the ride with spring only. I live in Vaughan area and I have to drive to downtown for work everyday. I don't want to be bouncing in my seat for hours. And do I need camber kit for 1.5ish drop?

Rep Power: 0 Thanks for the info guys. I wasn't expecting stock ride... I just wanted to know whether it was bearable. I had Integra before and it was way stiffer than my current car so I think I'll be alrite.

If you have to drive to the core of downtown everyday (like I do) don't upgrade to springs without shocks. Most of the ppl in CanEast live where the roads are smooth. Downtown roads are uneven with raised manholes. Davenport is pretty bad with neuspeed sports and no shocks.
There is just too much patched up uneven roads with dips.
Plus you have a 1.7EL which is a little bit luxurious. You don't want a crap ride in such a nice car. Do it right the first time.
