I finally did it!

Yes! After contemplating on whether or not I was going to keep my '89 hatch, I finally forced my chubby little fingers on that interac machine and bought suspension. KYB GR2's and Eibach Sportlines. I hope they give me a good ride. I can't afford Koni's and I don't need adjustables so I stayed away from the AGX's and saved money on the GR2's. I'll post pics when it's all done.

my problem now is that im still on 13" tires. should i wait and put 15's on before the suspension or what?

CivicYoungin · #4 07-08-2003, 10:56 PM

i think u should just put it on now...and save ur money up for another rims...

Nah skip the rims youll just add weight

crx hf · #6 07-09-2003, 02:45 AM

Plus your take off will be much slower

Civic Jim · #7 07-09-2003, 04:32 AM

put em on then buy rims IMO, no point waiting, let em settle in

I don't want wheels anytime soon. I just want black steelie's. The whole thing I'm worried about is if it will be too low on my 13" tires that I have right now.

Civic Jim · #9 07-09-2003, 08:49 AM

how big is the drop?

toronto pimp · #10 07-09-2003, 09:04 AM

Eibach sportlines...they'll probably settle to just under 2"

1.8 or 1.9 maybe i think

Civic Jim · #11 07-09-2003, 09:07 AM

well i lowered mine about the same and the roads around my area are ruff and my house is on a hill and the only thign that hit were the front mudflaps once or twice, it will be fine

toronto pimp · #12 07-09-2003, 09:09 AM

And you're on 13" tires? I already took those damn mudflaps off but I can't get the back ones off cuz the screws are so old you can't move em.

Civic Jim · #13 07-09-2003, 09:12 AM

yeah i was on 13" for 3 weeks and it handled a LOT better (until i put on the 17"), i dont have any rear ones, just pull on em hard or cut the heads of the screws off

toronto pimp · #14 07-09-2003, 09:27 AM

yea i wanna rip those fuckers off. i dont really care for wheels. the only wheels id ever get which ill never have money for are those black spoon wheels. other then that i just want 14"-15" steelies or MAYBE SiR wheels but i dont think those would look good on a white car. I'll probably get 14" steelies just to save a few bucks if you say it will handle and sit fine. Also, does wheel size have any affect on camber?

H4Bangin · #15 07-09-2003, 06:36 PM

you should be fine i have a 2.25 drop an i was rollin on 13s, greg has a 3 in drop i think and he is on 13s

the smaller the tire the less camber , the bigger u go the more wear u will notice
