ok, i have a 93 DX coupe with 18" inch rims, a camber kit, and cheap ass APC coilovers (which i think seized up on me this winter) and i want to lower it as much as it can be while still being drivable with such large rims. what i would like to know is...since it was posted that stock springs with aftermarket struts would be a good combo, would this work for the 18s or should i get both aftermarket springs and struts? what would be best for me to choose? i am just going for the lowered look and i dont want the tires (Kumho Ecsta Supra 225/40/ZR18's) to be slamming into the fender every time i go over a bump. i know that with the 18s, the tires probably will rub a bit anyways but i dont want to ride the fenders ya know? also, in alot of magazines and shows, ive seen civics with 18s and 19s that are lowered and either have the wheels 'tucked' or lowered enough so that there is really no space between the tire and the fender. is this drivable or just for show and since i have a camber kit, what is a good setting, if any, so that i can have just the top of the wheel (negative camber i think?) tuck a little into the fender so that it doesnt rub on the tires and wear them down? LOL ok ok one last question and then im done............since the coilovers i have now have seized, how do i prevent new ones from doing the same? also just in case this info helps......i removed my back seats and the spare tire and jack for weight reduction and i plan on leaving them out so i can redo the interior (didnt know if a weight reduction would alter the spring/stut setup cause of less weight) and i also plann on shaving the lip on the inside of the fenders so maybe that will reduced the tires from rubbing as much and damaging the rubber thankx ahead of time for help
