Ever heard the old saying " you get what you pay for" ? You buy cheap springs usually they work like cheap springs

i say slam it however you want. haha. ive heard of cut springs riding just as good as legit springs.. if i had that honda i would put trailer wheel steelies.. with the triangle windows.. those look the best. and a roof rack would be cool. along with the window visors. and for a swap id look into a b20.. i heard those are the tits. and theyre cheap.. if i had a honda id totally do it.

That way we can all point and laugh at it like we do with the 10,000,000 other Civics that look just like it. Later, QD.

Agreed, just make it look like the countless other clean hondas, pretty much all you can do. As long as you're enjoyin it, you're good

im gonna go ahead and say it, i think we all kno if you own a honda you cant be too unique, without making it ugly...long as you dont rice it out it will look nice! P.S. if i were you the first thing i would do is thro a h22 or a gsr in there! you wont be able to go too low with the h22 tho! and if you use ebay springs on stock shocks, prepare to bounce around! anywho, gl!

I almost bought a sedan a while back, I hate the look of the front bumper cover I was gonna use a coupe front end. Throw some 99-00 side skirts on it with a SLAM and some nice shoes and you'll be straight. Just sayin...

there's nothing wrong with ebay springs as long as you have nice shocks to back them up
hell, you could buy ground controls, but it will ride like shit if you still have oem shocks.

what's your budget on the wheels?

Just lookin for somethin inexpensive, round 4-500 bucks.. i can get a new set of wheels and tires from discount tire for like 600 cuz my brother works there..

Thats not all true...GC coilovers are available with custom spring rates so you could actually get a good ride if you get the right springs with the coilovers.

It's pretty clean but i'm gonna want a paint job soon too. Gotta find someone that paints...

ah
to an extent

oem shocks are picky with ride height
if the car is slammed like the op wants, oem shocks will crap out quickly and the car will ride like crap sooner or later

HondacvcATL

10-28-2010, 03:15 PM

So pretty much i need aftermarket shocks and springs, because if i just throw on springs the oem shocks wont ride as well..
