Newb with suspension questions!!!

[lowandbechromed]

Well, i just recentley picked up a 94 civic EX. I am looking to lower it soon as well as a set of wheels. The wheels I am looking at are more than likely going to be Slipstreams or Speedy race modes. If i am correct, if i go 15's, I should do a 205/50x15" and if 16"s i should do a 205/45x16" tire.

I want to lower it where it where the fender will be just above the tire such as this car http://www.fatima.k12.mo.us/striveK1...da%20Civic.jpg

Can anyone suggest a good setup for me? I would like nice springs and shock setup. I would of course like it to be cheap as possible. I know that has been asked a million times but I do appreciate your help.

15" go with a 195/50 tire, 16" go with a 205/40 tire these'll keep your speedo as accurate as possible.

Cheap and suspension do not mix. You are going to get what you pay for, then pay that x10 when you start breaking things because of your cheap suspension.

Getting a set of coilovers will be able to get you that tuck that you want since they are adjustable. If you only want a spring and shock combo. Get your wheels first, then measure the fender gap and see how much you need to drop it in order for it to look the way you want it to. After that, report back and we'll be able to suggest some setups that you might like.

I certinally like the 205/50/15 i have on rota circuit 8's. Some of the lightest wheels available with slightly wider tires for a bigger foot print and the hit to the speedo should be very small.

I Just Went Out And Bought Some Skunk2 Coilovers And Tokico Illum Shocks. Should I Also Get Strut Bars For My Suspension? I Am Not Planning On Reacing But I Want My Ride To Be As Comfortable As Possible.
