the best full coilovers for the least amount of money and overall build construction and ride comfort for are 7th gen civics are progress technology here is were i bought mine http://www.corsportusa.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_16&products_id=481 i also have a 04. then you will want front and rear camber kits you can get those at the same site. as for black wheels im getting a set of these next summer http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-521-Wheels-16x8-Flat-Black-p/52168082n.htm and here is a DIY guide for installing them its actually very simple http://gametrax.net/springs/index.html and for the camber kits http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1664914

lower it on aluminum piping...itll be a rough ass ride...



on a serious note, how far in depth do you want to go in the suspension game? daily driver? slam its balls on the ground? 1 or 2 inches? or 3 and 4? how much cash are you willing to fork out to get it done, and get it done right?

i wanna flush it kinda but like not as much. I'm lookin more like 2. N im not lookin for the most expensive or cheapest. More around the middle.

 

[lowlife9]

progress is rite in the middle as far as full coilovers go for price RACELAND being the worst and tien,K&W,eibach being more money but the overall quality of progress is on par with the more expensive systems thats why i always recommend that brand for our 7th gens.

I'm sick of seeing all these how-to-lower-my-car threads when there are other ones to read right on the same page of threads as this one...

 

[Mrod209]

Whats the problem? Every person has they're own prefrence. And not every1 will lower the car how you will. And sorry im new to this. Im learning.

well to be fair the 6th gen has double wishbone suspension and the 7th gen has macpherson setup so its a little bit different process. but i hear you search button wouldn't have hurt. if only we had generation specific sections it wouldn't be so cluttered.

Is not that hard, pick a product, have the tools and bolt it on. Plenty of product reviews and DIYs out there. There are tons of mid priced setups out there, megan, BC, progress, Sk2, D2, K sport, F&F, to name a few or you can do a strut and spring combo that usually cost about the same.

Scoop up fat chicks. You'll be dumpt if you want, but then you can always raise it by kicking a couple out.

I lower mine by taking the wheels off. Talk about serious drop!
