Dropping my 00 civic

[z32]

Hey all I'm trying to figure out what going to be the best drop for my car. I have 205 50 15 on order and I would like to drop the car to were the tires just sit above the fenders. I was thinking maybe 2.5 in front and 2.0 in rear. Or 2.0 in front and 1.5 in rear. Can someone lead me in the right direction so im happy with the out come. thanks all

what are you asking again?

You need some type of Coil over system..

[z32]

well i can get springs that lower the car with out having to adjust everything. Im just not sure with that tire size how low to go

[civic gsr]

195 /50 /15 would be better

195 /50 /15 would be better

eww..


205/50/15 is good.. along with 195/55/15

[RBS]

you can go with either 195's or 205's, if you decide to go low you MUST cut/bend the rail lining inside the fender well. If you dont, you will literally, chop, your tires.

ok so we got the tire size down lol how about how far should i go? Im sticking with 205's because i already ordered them plus i got them for 62 a piece and there toyo

ground control coilovers 340 shipped

if you feel the need to replace your struts, konis are around 100 each shipped.

so basically im asking with 205 50 15 fires whats numbers am i looking at to drop it and look good

[RBS]

you can drop it as low as the coilovers allow, seeing as you also cut the bumpstops accordingly. every car is different and everyones opinion is different so for us to say what does and does not look good is redundant, thats YOUR decision, bro.

My thoughts exactly

take the girl to dairy queen more... that'll drop the car...

but, coilovers are the way to go to "perfect" the look you want.

Agreed with coil overs. it will give you adjustability. you will need to get an alignment and possibly a camber kit for the front and rear.

mind you that oem integra or civic wheels are the best bet. no funky offsets for the wheels. 205 will tuck fine. i have ran 225 on fat 5s with no problem, and tucking the tires with a fender roll.
