Hey 8th, I was hoping you could shade some knowledge and help me out.
I lowered my civic on Godspeed Mono-RS coilovers about 2 months ago now. I went as low as I felt comfortable with considering I deal with Ohio streets. I'm tucking a little bit of tire in the front and back (stock wheels with stock tire size).
So I didn't really notice any issues with my handling (outside of a little vibration when I make sharp turns at about 20 mph) until last week when I was in some rain. It was the first time I did some freeway driving in the rain since I've lowered the car and it was just squirreling around the whole time. It felt like I was hydroplaning a bunch even though I know I have plenty of tread left on the tire.
I didn't know if this is just a common symptom of messing with the suspension? Have I thrown out the car's stability control by taking it out of the factory configuration? Do I just need an alignment?
