Re: Qusetion about lower my car!
if you lower your car either professionally or have someone do it you will still need it to be realigned so either way you look at it. your gonna have to realign it
but i dont recommend doing it yourself especially since you have custom tires they are more expensive to replace if you do lower on your own so my advice professionally have it done |

Re: Qusetion about lower my car!
You should look at suspensions that are available, and they will tell you how much it will lower it. If you want to be able to adjust the height you will need coilovers.
Good luck. |

Re: Qusetion about lower my car!
you will need a camber kit you can buy it from aspeed shop or make your own using metal washers just remember it will need aligned when done or you will be buying tires in about 5000 miles and maybe a set of ball joints as well!

Re: Qusetion about lower my car!
If youre going to buy on Ebay, make sure its from a good brand such as Eibach, H&R etc. Do not buy generic 'no name' parts. You need to do ALOT of research before you trash your car. An example of what I have for my 96 Civic:
H&R sport springs 1.75 front lower and 1.5 rear - $180 KYB AGX adjustable dampers - $400 Omni power front/ rear camber kit - $250 4 wheel alignment - $50 (got a deal) This plus a swaybar gives me all the handling I need on the street. Remember that with 18" wheels on your car the ride will be a little rough. Lower ride heigh means you need higher spring rates to keep from bottoming out.

And it will bounce and your shocks will probably die.
