My 91 needs a better stance. Ideas?

[sleeper88]

My 91 civic sedan needs new shocks. So i figured i do all new lowering springs with shocks. I want to lower it a inch. I was wonder what would be a nice combo(lowering springs/ shocks) for around $300-$500. I like the back road turns but when i usually race its in a straight line. Thanks for your help

i just got springs and shocks off ebay for around 350 all together...

Tokico Blue kit is a good drop if you're not looking to go very low

Yea, i'm looking at the blue's right now and for $369 shipped that does not sounds bad at all. 1.25 drop in the front and 1 in the back. Does anyone have any other idea or there own combo that they had good luck with. By the end of the night i'm going to purchase something i just want to get my shit straight before i purchase a set.

i got the blues for 288 and some cheapo springs, but they gave about 2-2.5 inch drop

lol i thought you were tryin to drop an inch?

 

[sleeper88]

I'm not one for cheapo springs. My one friend bought cheap lowering springs on ebay and it didn't even lower his car. He ended up cutting the lowering springs he bought to lower it. If i can get name brand spring/shock package for a nice price then i'll feel safer.

I want to drop my car an inch. I guess jeremy wanted to drop his acouple inches.

Other question. Do ef sedans look better with a 1 in. drop or a 1.5 in. drop? I found some tein spring with 1.5 in. drop and i could get the blues still for near the same price. I have 13 in. wheels now. I dont want to go to low just incase i get 15in. rims but that is no time soon.

 

[jeremy112683]

depends on your style.... i like the tire as close to the fender as possible!!!!!

 

[sleeper88]

yea, i had a 88 sedan dropped to the erf on ebay coilovers back in my school days. It looked like the front was banged but the drive was terrible. I want form and confort with this setup and in the far far far future this might be getting a b16 swap. I guess i'll look up some pictures.

 

[jeremy112683]

never did like coilovers.... but like i say, i got those tokico blue and some cheap ebay "JDM SPORT" springs and they feel pretty smooth to me, and better handling.. and under $350!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sleeper88]

i found some blues for $235 shipped and i made an offer on some brand new tein spring. if the guys goes through with the offer i could get the blues and the teins for $359 shipped.

word!!!!!!!!

 

[phunky.buddha]

I've got a set of Eibach Pro-Kits that I'm not going to use anymore...

 

[vpower]

my recommendation would be to stay the hell away from eBay...save yourself the headache...why dont you get some skunk2 pro c series dampers???my 91 hatch runs smooth on them
