Problem with lowering my civic
Hey i just put some lowering springs in my 97 civic and i think its way to low, i have 17" rims and i can just fit my fingers in the wheel well. so flat road is all i could do. i don't think my set of 15" rims would do a whole lot. plus i need to fix the wheel tilt now that its lowered so the tires don't wear down. and is there any spacers or something i can add to the springs to raise it or anything? thanks

Re: Problem with lowering my civic
if you bought lowering springs, then your SOL, sell them and get a smaller drop. if you bought coilovers, then simply just raise the collar

Re: Problem with lowering my civic
Do you have OEM shocks or aftermarket. If theyre worn your car will sit lower. You need front and rear camber kits. Front you need upper control arms (omni power, skunk2, ingalls, etc.) back you can get washers and longer bolts(ingalls, others) Then figure out what kind of alignment settings you want to run. Stock I think is +/- 1 degree front +/- .5 degree rear camber. And close to zero toe angle. I think it might be 1/8 inch each side.
