Can I lower my civic manually?
 
Hello people:

Can I lower my car using my factory shocks and springs? My friend has an Accord and after he crash the car and fixing it the car was lower from one side and higher from the other. We took the car to a mechanic and he just lower the other side to match the high. How can you lower a car like that? Any help

probably cut the springs, but I don't recommend that.

Cut Springs... big time no no. 190 for pro kit or sport lines!

or you can fill the car with fat people. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I Once saw a Ford Festiva dropped at least 3" from Fat people.. The rear camber was WAY off looked literally like this / \ The tires went nearly flat.. there was a 400lbs woman driving and her 300+lb teen son in the car... It was the funniest thing I've ever seen.... Screw how many circus midgets can fit in a car.. try to watch these to exit the car lol[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

dude around here at a local shop heats them or something (he wont tell exactly what he does) but its supposed to lower the car on stock suspension...wouldnt recommend it tho.

some local shops here take the stock springs and they have a machine that compresses it to a certain size..... it's safer than cutting them.... they are just like lowering springs after they been compressed... i've seen the stock spring from one side and the stock spring from the other after it was compressed.. i was like WHoa..

I'll just spend the $200 or whatever and get real lowering springs. don't be a cheap-a$$

for less than $1, you can get 4 nails, insert them into your tires, and i Guarantee that your car will be lower[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
