Lowering Question

[recycle_me]

ok i have a stock 89 Civic dx hatch. i want to lower it but i dont know how low to go. it has nothing done but zc DOHC engine swap with turbo running 8lbs pressure cat exhaust stage 4 clutch 16 inch rims. i only use it in stright line races and on back roads that are nice and curvey. just askin for ideas.

[slammedcivicsi]

you have a stock car, yet its got rims, engine swap, turboed stage 4 clutch and a catback.....that sounds not stock to me.....infact it sounds heavily modded.

Oh yeah hardly anything, only a turbo.

Got any pix? Also...I could probably find a faster stock car, if price isnt a factor.

[recycle_me]

no i ment stock sprins and struts and stuff

[90civicracer]

Got any pix of your ride? Get some Tien's...u seem to have quite a bit of money in your ride already so don't puss out on the suspension.

i have some i just dont know how to post pics in here (newbie) and yea i have quite a bit of money in car mostly in motor.hard to find a zc DOHC around here looking for a nother one as well not too much luck though.as for turbo i paid 30 bucks for it and the intercooler at a local junk called Pull-A-Part. i thouhgt about cutting springs and addin a camber kit. Yes or No?

ebay dude ebay.....with money you can get anything you need from it

[Civic Jim]

id go for some KYB struts and lower it 40mm mate spring brand is up to you i dont notice much difference

[turtlecrxsi]

yeah, get the kyb struts/shocks. And don't puss out on good springs. Most people with some money get the Eibachs. If you don't have that much money then get Arospeed or Sprint Springs that are coil overs so you can adjust the ride height. I like the coilovers cuz I can keep a respectable height for the "curvy" roads and slam it to the ground if I'm racing straight lines (if I ever did that).

[jestersrain]

the eibachs better be sweet ordered me some last nite cant wait to get them

[90civicracer]

Don't cut your springs. It may accomplish the goal of "lowering" your car but that can be dangerous to you and whoever you are driving around. If you get just "sleeves" get new struts also.
