alright thanks alot guys ill do just that. Are there going to be any other bolts or other parts that ill need to purchase along with the setup? Also how do i know if ill have the right spring rate, when i look online it just tells me to enter make/model etc... and then it shows me the springs. Do i just order them like that or do i have to look into gettin a custom spring rate or something. Thanks again guys.

 

Most springs come in one spring rate; the only company that offers custom spring rates that I know of is Ground Control. If you're planning on getting the Tein/Tokico setup, you don't need to worry about spring rates; the spring rate Tein uses for the S-techs is relatively soft, though a little stiffer than stock. From what I've heard, they're a fairly comfortable lowering spring to use.

You might need the six bolts that go through the rear lower control arms (two lower control arm bolts and one shock-mount bolt on each lower control arm) and the six bushings that go with them. It depends on if your bolts are seized inside the bushings or not.

 

Ok great thanks man, will i have to get those parts from a honda dealership?

 

When I did the suspension on my '94, I got the bolts from a dealership and got aftermarket polyurethane bushings. The bolts were pretty expensive thanks to markup, and I'd imagine the bushings would be, too. I think it was something like $100 total for me.

Give me a few minutes and I'll find the little write-up I did for the bushings... it's a bit tricky to get the hang of it at first unless you have something to go by.

*edit: Found the DIY. Everything will be exactly the same for an '00 civic. You don't need to buy the bolts and bushings, necessarily, but it's always a good reassurance. I avoided buying them and ended up with the front end of my car slammed and the back end at stock height for a month or two until I got everything together and found time to install the rear coilovers.
