1.5 inch drop or 2.0??

[LoveMy05Civic]

Im about to purchase some lowering springs for my 05 sedan, and I can't decide between a 2 inch drop or a 1.5, im currently running 15 inch konig feathers, but will be upgrading to 17s soon.

i would go with the 2' a 1.5 inch you would'nt notice much.but i think they both would look bout the same what springs you going with?

 

[LoveMy05Civic]

Either the tanabe nf210 which is the 1.5 or skunk2 for the 2.0 inch drop.

2 inch over1.5

2 inch for the win, well I guess it also depends on the 17's. You should get the rims first then see if maybe a 1.5 would look better

That's true, the 17s im getting are the konig zero-ins, ill look around and see what other 7th gens look like with a 2 inch and 17s.

depends on the rim size/ and tires and then what is your preference. do you like your trires tucked in????

my tires are 17 with low profile tires, the rear is tucked in, but not the front. reason is, the front scrapes on the inside everytime there is a steep hilll. i have a 97 civic.

Yeah I prefer them to be tucked in, and as for my tire size when I get my 17s it will be a 205/50, right now its 195/60 with my 15s.

the drop would depend on what your using for shocks are you using your oem ones ???

^ i would get new shocks if you're doing 2" or higher of a drop, It's going to be a rough ride

 

[johari]

If ur going with a 2 inch you may want a 205/45 if ur trying to tuck or your going to rub my man

 

[TigBitties]

combine those numbers

Ok that's what ill go with cause I definitely want them tucked.

get 1.5. your oem shocks will blow with 2" much faster

I also found the tanabe Df210 which would give me a 1.8 drop, i think that would be good drop??? and as for my oems it probably about time i got new ones anyway so when they blow ill get ones.

 

[TigBitties]

your oems are going to blow with any drop, get new struts the first time so your only paying for one alignment

 

[LoveMy05Civic]

That's true I forgot about the alignment, thanks for the reminder.
