How to lower

[WalkingComplex]

I was think of lowering my coupe an inch or so(f & r). What do I need to change or add?

 

[mahalo]

you need to buy new performance struts. ex. tokico, kyb, koni. and lowering springs. if your only going an inch. i would recomend full body coilovers but thats just my opinion

 

[WalkingComplex]

Im not buying coilovers that would b a third of the price of the car. can i just get lowering springs?

 

[tonyM]

yes, you can just get some springs and more than likely get away with using your stock struts.

 

[mahalo]

you can just get lowering springs but it wouldnt be a good idea to put them on your stock struts.

i geuss if your only going down an inch your stock struts would be ok... but once you lower it your not gonna stay at 1 inch.

well just do it the right way its not that hard the forums are pretty easy to get around. and u should probably swap to a manual before u worry about suspension

 

[WalkingComplex]

I dont have the money for a manual swap

 

[mahalo]

if he wants to lower his car instead of a manual swap then let him its not your car dude. most of the mods are cool there not trying to single you out just keeping the site cleaned up the less you say about it the better off you will be though lol

 

[WalkingComplex]

i dont want to maual swap it but im just researching rite now, no money means to real mods.

 

[mahalo]

i would lower before i did manual swap if i had that choice i cant stand stock ride height lol

 

[bmac9269]

the first three people did!!!!!! u need new springs and/or struts if you can!

 

[WalkingComplex]

@hecs, thx man. I now its alright now, until tony decides to give me another warning.

@egnines, i like the stock height but i want to lower it for handling reasons.

 

[WalkingComplex]

@bmac, i know they did. i was saying i never get the correct answers from google or the search feature. thats why i posted this and i got my answers. thats why im saying to close the thread because it served its purpose

 

[tonyM]

How about. STAY on topic, any other posting off-topic WILL get you an infraction.

I moved your thread, I explained why, I answered your question.

Enough is enough.

Hahaha. Find it amusing how your flipping out from the mods doing their jobs.

Its the internet buddy No need to stress out over it.

Also since you say you want to be able to achieve better handling for your car then you honestly wont get much to nothing at all with just lowering springs with oem shocks.

The best thing IMO is that you just go off and buy stiffer bushings or save up a little more and aim towards running with a sway bars.

The saying stays true. " You have to pay to play "

 

[civicSIcoupe]

if you want to lower it for handling reasons youll need performance springs and struts, the ride will only be bouncier if you keep the stock struts and lower it

 

[Sammo115]

Or actually you know what. Your best investment into better handling is.................Tires. Stock suspension components or not. If them tires are gripping. Then theres no use.
