The "what will my drop look like" thread - Page 7

07gen8Civic · 01-19-2009, 12:14 AM

I would really like to see an EX on sportlines, and know if it rubs or not, and how low it really is, can someone help me out here once and for all?

Did any of you have to change your shocks to handle the drop? When I dropped my Integra on H&R sport springs the stock shocks couldn't handle it. I'm thinking about getting the prokit for my Si. HOw do you prokit dudes/bettys like them?

07k20z3ftw · 01-19-2009, 08:49 PM

I just installed the pro-kit on my 4dr 07 si. The car rides pretty damn good on the stock shocks. I also got the SPC front camber bolts/rear camber arms with an alignment. The car handles much better. IMO I think the pro-kit is one of the best drops you can get for daily driving. I have had no issues going in and out of driveways or going over speed bumps. I have not hit anything on the underside either.

i love my prokits. >6 months with stock shocks and stock camber/bolts and no problems.

CivicEX · 01-20-2009, 02:35 AM

Yeah, I'm thinking about going with them. I don't want to slam it or anything, just bring it down a little and take up the little gap in the well. I was thinking about getting their sway bar also for the back. Are you guys still on stock wheels?

heybluguy · 01-20-2009, 12:06 PM

ya cant wait to get camber arms and sway bar.havent had any problems with my FG2 shox/stuts but wen i do ill get skunk 2 set

yup! i havent had any problems for 8 months on the roughest canadian roads...until i realized i needed something alot stiffer to stop rubbing

Robstunner · 01-20-2009, 02:17 PM

yes im on stock wheels, that will soon change with the season

j-bo · 01-20-2009, 06:16 PM

Robstunner.. I'm assuming that's your car on the 1st post of the thread at the top? Do you have any other photo's to share? How is the ride quality? Any rubs? Did you install yourself?

Any others have photo's/info with 08' EX stockies for coupe's?

I'm leaning for towards the eibach sportline, neuspeed sport, or skunk2.

I'm an ol fart and commute 150 miles a day and travel on some bumpy roads and don't want to chance any rubbing and want the smoothest ride out of those choices above. I like the stockies and doubt I'll change them anytime soon.

So.. I don't know what the drop is on the skunk2's.. the Eibach's hover around 1" and to be honest, I don't know if I'd like the 1.4-1.5" drop better of the neuspeed sports. Just depends on rubbing possibilities and what works best with stock everything else. I don't want to get camber kits unless it's a must also, along with wanting to keep the same shocks/struts.

Input?

no, thats not mine, i actually don't have very many pics at all of my car. I tend to blame the lack of pictures on the fact that my camera is a 3mp junkbox that has a crack in it.

paolo2k2 · 01-20-2009, 07:26 PM

lol...just take cell phone pics

atlprofessor · 01-21-2009, 01:27 PM

I installed some Neuspeed Race springs a week and a half ago and the rear doesen't sit as low as some I've seen on here. Could I have em on backwards or do they just take longer to settle? The only other thing I could think of is I gutted the rear, which removed some wieght off the rear springs?

07gen8Civic · 01-21-2009, 01:28 PM

my prokits came today

heybluguy · 01-21-2009, 01:35 PM

neuspeed racesprings hmmmm

06 HCHII on Eibach Prokit 1.5" drop on 15" stock wheels with 195/65R15 tires

I know, I know... stock, lame... but it gives me a 4mpg increase due to aerodynamics

07gen8Civic · 01-21-2009, 09:34 PM

*ugh* u hybrid users LOL. nice tho..

20CivicSi07 · 01-21-2009, 09:50 PM
