  1. Suspension and Brakes
    I want to buy lowering springs for my 08 coupe (EX) and i was wondering which brands would give me the best bang for my buck. I know id have to get new shocks but i can worry about that when time comes. The roads where I live have those nice curves on the backroads but terrible potholes in most...

    Hello, I recently bought a set of bc racing br coilovers and my car has a lot of rust going on and I dont feel comfortable using a torch for stuck bolt purposes. Does anyone know any good mechanics in the southeastern MA and RI area that would be a good choice to install these for me? Thank!

    Howdy Y'all, I went to replace all of my lowering springs as one of my Tein springs rusted through and I managed to get through the front springs. The issue lies in my rears. I followed a guide to replacing them and it had me unbolting the knuckle from the upper control arm, and I found an...

    I take our two civics where none should travel. That said, for all of the abuse I have put mine through (Blue Ridge Rock Fest for any who know), my wife's civic is acting like it needs full suspension replacement round 2 after only 40,000 miles (140k total) ...and I've never replaced mine (160k...

    I needed 2 struts for a 2010 civic coupe DX. So I bought these Monroe quick struts from Canadian Tire. (Supposed to be part#172284 and 172285). From what I can see online, the left is for a coupe with the black rubber (172285) and the right is for sedan with the yellow rubber (labeled 172284...
  8. Wanted Forum
    First post on 8th forum. But anyways, does anyone know of a decent quick strut assembly for the fg2? Front driver side is blown and I want to keep pretty stock, but every site I look at groups the si with all other models and I thought it has stiffer shocks. I just don’t want to end up with...

    My coilovers are messed up and I am looking into getting new ones. My budget is around $1500 and I was wondering what the best coilover would be for that price.

    Hello there, I am new to the forum and wasn’t planning on creating an account but I felt like I needed to because I didn’t know who else would be able to answer my question. (Hopefully you guys can help) Recently, maybe a week ago my 07 Si coupe started to make a weird metal tick or click...

    Hi, was wondering since the base model civics have a real bad body roll: Would it be better to invest in a rear sway bar or a front sway bar? Which would be more effective to invest on? Looking for answers based on experience. Thanks!!!

    I recently installed Koni STR.T shocks, H&R lowering springs, and K-Tuned adjustable rear camber arms on my '08 Si, and it lowered my car by about 1.25 inches all around. Now it feels a lot more stable when cornering, but I noticed that the car doesn't turn in quite as quickly as it used to...

    Hi just wanted some recommendations on some upgrades to do on my suspension. I currently have Skunk2 Pro II coilovers and rear Progress bar that I'm waiting to install but i would also want to upgrade other parts that would help make the ride a lot better. Any upgrade suggestions as well as...
  15. Suspension and Brakes
    I often do some stupid stuff with the civic. We won't get into all of it, but I don't have access to a truck all the time. I own a pop camper and the civic has a hitch and wiring. I don't like how much the rear sags. What can I do to keep it more level when pulling? 2009 Civic LX auto sedan...

    Hey y'all! I recently upgraded my Si sedan's suspension by installing some Koni STR.T shocks and struts and H&R lowering springs, and I noticed that the lower stance created about -5 degrees of camber in the rear wheels even with an alignment. I want to dial out this camber to maximize my...

    I had a strut mount fail, so I replaced it. Now I have a metallic rattle from the top of that strut over rough pavement. Everything seems to be right- torqued correctly, strut mount installed with arrow in the right direction, spring seated well. Now, the reason the strut mount failed...

    I have 17x9 +25 with 205/40/17 and am planning on going 1.2 in the front and 1.1 in the rear, is that low enough to look good and works well for daily driving?

    I have an 08 civic with 180,000 miles. I replaced the old suspension with KYB excel G’s, also new OEM springs for the front and back of the car. New 16 inch rims and same size Hankok tires. Car is stock height. When I’m by myself, I’ll hear tire rub sometimes on turns. When my car is full with...
