Drop on hybrid

hyciv08 · 08-17-2008, 01:28 PM

How much lower does the HCHII sit than a civic sedan?

I was thinking on putting my HCHII on the HFP suspension kit which should drop it around 1 inch and increase its handling and maybe help mpg but yet i dont want it sitting too low or any scraping.

Has anyone lowered their HCHII? Any pics of dropped HCHII's or civic sedans with HFP kit? Pics

i'm using coilover for my jdm hch2
1/2 inch clearance
and my ride lowest point clearance only 12mm and highest at 17mm

since its not stock i've no problem as i can adjust the hieght or stiffness
btw i'm on 225/45/17 rims/tires

as for handling i'll suggest you install rear ARB

I'm rockin Eibach Prokit on my hybrid. I know that's not what your lookin for, but maybe this will convince you to go with Eibach springs instead of an HFP suspension.

^All around, that's a nice pic. But, I can't see where the tires end and the wheel gap begins. Any other shots??

yeah i've always liked ur HCHII!
im looking for the complete set and a small drop instead of just coils. i want it to handle great, look great and not drop it too much. i also wanted to do the hfp lips as well. whats your mpg been on your HCHII? mods list?

Got a bunch of shots last night, this is just one of them. I will post the rest eventually, still waiting on them from the photographer. My build thread does have one shot from the side which shows off the stance now.

duk's wicked HCHII My average for almost a full year has been about 38mpg, that's including our harsh winter. There is some speculation my tires are causing a drop in mileage.

i've got a GG HCHII w/ 18s and so far am getting 37-38.
i was thinking on maybe going for a more ligthweight set of wheels, hfp lip kit, hfp suspension kit, and also probably a fujita SRI for the HCHII.

let me know what anyone thinks.

any more pics?
