shocks and springs

[blk97civic4dlx]

ok i just got tokico shocks and springs that will lower the car 1.75 inchs and i was wondering if after i install them do i need to do anything else with the suspension to keep the car running smoothly or am i good to go for a while

Thats not really that low but maybe a camber kit?

thats low enough though, its a car. you also have to remember, once you mess with your suspension, its never gonna feel the same way again, unless you have a car with worn springs and blown shocks, them you might find improvement, but if they are still good, you probably wont get too close to stock feel.

1. Huh? Not to be an ass, but I'm not sure I get what you mean there, likely meaning others won't. Are you saying that because of his modification his ride won't feel stock? Or just a general reminder of what to expect post lowering? Because, yeah, parking curbs take on a whole new respect now.

2. I have an Eibach pro-kit and KYB-AGXs on mine, a similar distance drop, with upper and lower strut bars in the back, and upper in the front. I did not put on a camber correction kit - despite that it is a good idea - and I haven't noticed any premature, or uneven, tire wear or handling issues over the past year of having the drop. Do get an alignment done however - just a good idea after all that tweaking and undoing of the tires as well as suspension and steering components.
