tokiko?

[spooned06civic]

I know thats not how it is spelled sorry.

I have the hfp suspension installed from the factory and i still think my car looks like a 4x4.

i was wondering if it would benefit me to get some eibach sportlines with tokiko shocks and struts

I need to be lower i can stand it anymore?

Suggestions I wanna be like another inch lower?

yea do what he says ^ ethier sportlines or some tein stechs thats what i was previously on good ride the hfp shocks will be good enof they will hold up good....i switched to full coil dampers tho i wanted to be able to adjust to my desireable height....

[spooned06civic]

so if i just go with some springs the hfp shocks and struts will hold up ok

also should i get anything while doing this

yea just get some lowering springs that will fit ur height wise nd use the hfp struts nd u should be all set...from what i heard there a stiffer damper over stock soo u should be good

[spooned06civic]

ok thanks guys ima go with the sportlines it says i should get 1.5in drop and since the hfp does around a 1.0in drop this should get me a little happier about my 4x5 look lol

The following certainly are NOT necessary (depending on your preference mostly) but if you're going to do something you might as well go all the way and do it correctly. I suggest looking into getting some if not all of the following:

Front Camber Bolts (1 or 2 pairs depending on your goal/preference)
Rear Camber Arms (1 pair obviously)
New Tires (maybe, or just wait until your stock tires wear out and gives you an awesome opportunity to upgrade )
Alignment (usually lowering or modifying the suspension of your car will require an alignment, I'd get it checked anyways, doesn't hurt)

Well, I'm not sure what your goal is, whether it be to just "sLaM y0 ShiZzLe" or whatnot. These are just some suggestions for better handling.

Or you could stop being so superficail and enjoy the handling of a suspension designed by the people that made your car and not fuckup a perfectly good suspenion. Its just a thought.

Who shit in your cheerios? The man's just asking for some help.

[friedk]

Belch is very, very function over form. We get alot of these posts everyday asking the same thing(I WANNA BE DUMPEDD..what are my options?) so I don't blame him being a little frusterated.

[Highrev1]

He gave him help...He gave a great answer IMO!!! The guy wants a 2" drop so he can "sLaM y0 ShiZzLe" but fails to realize the concequecens of his actions. Not limited to but include, more body roll, probably worse handling, weird alignment (wihtout camber kit)....ETC...There is alot more to it than just THrowing some springs that drop a car 2"s than people realize.

Yeah. I'd honestly take Sirbelch or Highrev1's advice. Each of them probably possess the knowledge capacity on suspension equal to a million times mine. Oh yeah. To the OP, if you're looking to lower about an inch or so, you'd be looking at the Eibach Pro-Kit, not the Sportlines. And plus, for performance, you should have gotten a 17x8 wheel, that way you can close the wheel gap subtly, yet handle and perform like a champ.

On a side note, I hope the OP, or anyone else browsing this thread, is not offended by anyone members' comments on here. This topic is constantly brought up and would be easily remedied by just clicking the light blue threads at the top of the main suspension sub-forum page. They're stickied there for a reason. Some of us just get frustrated when yet another thread regarding "What spring should I get" pops up. It seems to be a frequently, even daily, happening event.

I went from a 225/40/18 on a 18 x 7.5 wheel to a 235/40/17 on a 17 x 8 wheel. That actually made the car look better than it did on the 18. The car is a half inch closer to the ground with the 17's than the 18's. Sooooooooo, you can get more of a slammed look with 17's than you can with 18's.
