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

yup. im on 13's still and have a 3 inch drop.

i dont understand CIVIC owners in general...

every lowered civic i see in my town bounces around. you wanna know why? coilovers or lowering springs and stock shocks dont mix...

GR2's are stock replacements... they shouldnt ever be used with lowering suspension

go to www.3geez.com

that is a forum for 3rd gen accords... at 3geez, we stress soo much that you cant buy a stock strut and expect the ride to be ok with a lowering spring.. it can even become dangerous...

im not ragin on civic's or anything, the reason i came here is because i am getting a civic next spring after i have had my fun wth my accord.. (lowered on LOWBOYZ full bodied coilovers with high performance strut valving)

#1 maybe i can't afford anything more
#2 i know someone with the exact same setup and his car is fine

[dxhatchback]

maybe you think its fine, but if you went from Gr2's to AGX's you would say HOLY SHIT! what a sweet ride...

Travis

[dxhatchback]

and if you cant afford KONI's or AGX's.. wait! wait the extra weeks till you can aford the right shit...

i think i'm gonna save some cash for AGX's i've blown 1 or 2 or my GR-2's already but they have a lifetime warranty apparently

[dxhatchback]

its definetly worth it.. when you decide to get coilovers or springs, it will ride soo much better

Travis

already got some apex 1.8 mm drop springs on the car... maybe thats why i blew my gr-2's?

[dirtydx]

i have GR2's

i think the ride is excellent, really tight. not bouncy at all.

[dxhatchback]

oh shit! your car is lowered.. that would explain the blowing of the shocks... you are over working them with the lowering spings or coilovers..all lowering springs and coilovers are much stiffer than stock and they wear that shit out fast.. if you get AGX i promiss that you wont blow a shock again

Travis

yea well some roads here are fairly bumpy and stuff so thats why it blew i bet, it sux, i wanna get em re-placed asap and see what its like afterwards

[dxhatchback]

bumps will kill the strut 10X faster... i worked in a tire/wheel/suspension shop last summer... i installed over 15 sets of coilovers on civics.. i would say 12 people came back with blown struts and complaints of a bouncy ride.. i installed koni's, agx, and even some tokico's on cars and it solves all the problems....

people that say.. "it rides fine" or "works great for me" just dont know what a lowered car is supposed to ride like

Travis

i know where ur comin from, mine felt "fine" now i noticed its bumpy as hell!

[dxhatchback]

push hard on the car, it should go down and back up once... if it does it more than once, its bouncing... anyway, get some AGX's and it will be like riding in a ferarri

Travis

mine arent bouncy at all. trust me it rides excellent. maybe ur right tho, since my GR2s are only one month old. Time will tell!
