dropzone?

[01_Celica_GT]

My buddy is selling his dropzome shocks and springs to me brand new(he totalled his car and didnt have time to put them on) for 250$. Are those shocks and springs any good or will they mess something up?

[superbluecivicsi]

they are great if you like to feel every single bump on the road.

dropzone sucks...

I personally would go with APC lowering springs before I went with DropZone.

(Now that's saying something )

[01_Celica_GT]

what about the shocks? shocks any good? I need rear shocks so should I install them?

[vette_7t9]

just buy the rear ones...its all u really need to curb that understeer haha

[01_Celica_GT]

well this is my problem. When i go around a left turn my wheels rub and shave off my tire. So I thought i needed new shocks in the back. I have 18's all around.

So what do i need to stop that?

And what is understeer?

IF you wana go cheap but get quality parts to lower your car

just get tein s tech springs and tokico blues springs

[01_Celica_GT]

Alright, I wasn't looking to go cheap. I'll spend the money, but there were offered to me right now and i could put on my car today. So thats why I asked.

Your camber is out.

Try this out.

Don't forget to get an entire wheel alignment. Better yet, get a wheel alignment and see what is off before you start.

[fiberglasscivic]

I think the problem is wheel size. If those are wide enough and you didn't put spacers on, that would also cause rub. Lowering your car will only make it worse.

[vette_7t9]

Spacers. Speaking of spacers, ive been looking for a cheap set of 25 mm for my civic...any help or suggestions? Wow 18 inch is flipping huge!! I wonder how u fit those on ur car?

[polacek]

He didn't fit them, they are a rubbin

[01_Celica_GT]

Spacers, are those hubcentric spacers or whatever. where do i get those at.

and they do fit, because none of the other wheels rub. they are 215 35 18 and the dudes at tiresplus said they are tight but they fit.

i thought by putting stiffer shocks on it would help from the car not lean so much therefore not rub.

where do i check my camber angle. like what place.

oh yeah and im on a laptop and the question mark key doesnt work so i cant use slashes or question marks.

get an alignment?
