Very nice, I love that front bumper!
Colour looks good too, all you need now is to drop it a bit

Yea, it's next on my long list
The only thing I'm worried about if I drop it, is the fact that I have a 7 month old son and the amount of baggage you have to carry around with you is unbelievable! - so I'm wondering will it scrub?

nice car... the front bumper and the rims... it should only be dropped like already is said... Nice pic with the 'silo' and the undergoing sun-shade thing like ( )

You don't want your son to be shaked...hmmm logical. My ride on eibachs is not hard but it is somemore bumby then stock, but it rides more comfortable than a stock civic of a friend of mine!

Nice car, I like that front bumper

Car looks great. I love that front bumper. Where did you get it sprayed as it looks like a first class job

Well it all depends how low you go, but also as importantly, what your rim offset is. It should be 40-42mm, closer to 42mm the better. If you don't know it should be stamped on the inside of the rim somewhere

Thanks for all the comments!
Any reccomendations om what set-up to go for?
On my last car (EG), I had it lowered 40mm using Sparco Springs and had it fitted professionally, but they said I didn't need to change the dampers..............I took their word as they race prepare rally cars and I never had any trouble!
What do you guys think?

A bloke I know done the painting for me - he's top class alright - I've always used him (and he does it for a good price) - PM me if you want his name

Nice clean car, I usually don't like the (semi)agressive bunpers but yours looks nice!

Hey G, I was always told the closer to 45 offset the better, or this only for the older Civic's? (4th gens)
Just curious, I have +35 so that sucks anyway.

Sweet ride! The Mugen bumper is looking really good on your car. Never seen it on a coupe before, only on hatches. Like all the others have already said: lower it! I would try to get some Eibach springs for it => good quality!

Would you reccomend just changing the springs or would I be better changing the whole set-up?
Any reccomendations on where to buy springs on-line?

It will always be better to change the hole setup! I would recommend you to buy new springs with new dampers (??) or a coilover system. Coilover system is the best way to go but it´s even more expensive than springs and dampers. I would recommend H&R or KW then. If you just want to buy new springs and dampers I would buy some Eibach springs with yellow Koni dampers! You can adjust the Konis in three levels: comfortable, comfortable/sporty or sporty. IMO all three levels aren´t too stiff for a daily driver. It will also depend on the tire size you´ve got on your rims. For example: 195/ 55 will be more comfortable than 195/ 40! I dunno where the best place is to buy springs online. Sorry! Just use our new list of shops/ brands. Hope it helps.
