- Mon Apr 05, 2010 4:49 pm #185688 Sup guys! I have a couple questions regrading lowering my civic. I have a 95 Civic LX sedan. It is pretty much stock. I really want to lower it, for looks and performance. Right now it rides like crap, the stock shocks died. I don't have much money but I want a decent setup. I was thinking about going the shocks/springs combo or the shocks/coilover sleeves setup. What would be better for me? I want some more performance, good ride quality(not so harsh), and good looks. This is my DD, and I drive 1 hour to school one way everyday, so a comfortable ride would be good. I like the idea of adjustable ride height with coilovers.

For shocks I am going to go with either Skunk2 Sport Shocks or Koni STR.T.

For Springs I was gonna go with Vogtland 2" lowering springs.
For Coilover Sleeves, just ebay ones with the scale.

Any input would be great! Thanks

well man good luck i expect some pictures once its done.

P.S. my friend lowered his civic with springs and now he wants to go lower.

In the end you will end up spending way more money doing it that way. Also look into blackworks racing, and omnipower coilovers, you may be able to find better deals on them and they are the same unit as the F2s.
