hi i was jst wondering what ek civics look like lowered 40mm-60mm and is there anything i should beware? ... cheers

 

i wanna put 17" rotas on it n drop it 60mm but if 40mm looks k il go 4 that.......

 

anyone??????

 

It should look freakin awesome. Either one would be good. But I'd go with 40mm. It'll take care of those fender gaps for the most part and be basically road friendly. Those 17's will look good on it too. Do it up!!!

 

the problem is the civic im gettin is a dark metalic purple im gonna go with some 17" 7.5 8-10 spokes wa u reckon?...

 

Yeah, that should should look really good. I'd go with an 8 spoke. It's your car though, either way, it should look good.

 

id be worried about lowering 60mm with 17s. i mean...60mm is like 2.5"s. thats a lot. you will get wheels hitting the well.

 

im def gonna lower it 40mm with 17s i havnt got a huge budget so im gonna get the lowerin springs for now jst need to decide on the rims n im havin trouble choosin, ive got 700 notes to spend on them...

 

mate im a UK civic owner.... i got a 96 (ek) coupe..... lowered 30mm on spax springs with 17's.....

the first thing i would say is that the car will look amazing, handle better and stick to the floor better, however if your not planning on uprating the shocks your in for a bumpy ride.

Thats 1 thing i regret not doing.... its extremely annoying and hitting a pot hole at high speeds can damadge ure rims...

do the suspension properly, i wouldn't take short cuts on it....

I agree, I just bought a full spax kit with adj dampers. If you just put lowering springs on ul lose ride quality and wear your stock dampers out in under a year so you will end up upgrading anyway. Just save up and get it right first time.
