Wana get low

Postby Crazy Chris » January 7th, 2014, 5:11 pm

Yea tuners I have an Ek3 stock height on sum 15" GTR rims wrapped with 205 50 15. I wana get it lowered jus enough to eliminate the fender gap but not too much to drag over speed bumps. Any recommendations? Definitely dont wana cut or heat springs.

i am currently using a set of Tru Hart lowering springs and struts.... great ride, close to stock and the lowered look, sits jus above my 45 series tyres wrapped on 17" wheels.

Had Tein springs before and no complaints. swaped out as these new sets are a lower ride height.

why not?
i have an original ek3 civic.. and my sis got one where she had the springs cut. she had 15"s with low profile tyres

spring was cut whereby the front of the car was lower than the back so that if people was in the backseat the car would be leveled.. i my opinion car used to look grt

main thing. ride of the car.. car drove just as good as original however car was more stable. taking cornering at much higher speed and yet being more stable than original. car never bounced or anything like that..

and it costed only $300 to be done

lowering springs are the way to go, cut springs are ok at front but the back doesnt take weight well and shocks tend to "bottom out" and burst, lowering springs- depending on the brand are made to compensate for weight and ride quality dependant on what height application you desire, I tried skunk2, got 2.5 inches in front and 2.25 in the back,up to you.had cut springs before but to me cant compare
