Honestly im still on 4x4 status. I have springs coming this week (hopefully). Hoping for an install this sunday. Either way thought, seeing other builds and whatnot i want Moar LOW! Another thing to thing about is i havent driven a lowered car before so springs will be a nice touch to learn on. When im back in a city setting ill go coils.
Money money money def want more low with a nice set of coils... one dayyy...... Hey I know for fact the is way easier lowering the front and not so much the rear (static) if there any poor man mod to lower the rear (running cut vogtland 1 ½ turns in front)
I kinda want something else to mess with . . . the ride height i have now is functional and I can tuck tire since it's just so reliable I am not worried about making it anymore anything.
I want any sort of drop on my box... but I wont. I had my last Civic lowered on Eibach Sportlines and Tokico blues and it handled beautifully and did wonders for the aesthetics of the car but it turned into a snow plow in the winter. It was about 4 inches off the ground and there are times where we see 8-9 inches of snow in the winter. It resulted in a cracked front lip, a cracked bumper held on by zip ties, and my plastic wheel well liners being torn out in one particularly bad winter storm. When I was leaving work I cut some electrical wire out of the wall and twisted them back into my car. It stayed like that until I crashed it lol.

owell, i guess that's off the topic but i'm just curious, btw, i'm off the ground by 3.25 inches, so i'll see how much i'm off the ground after i flipped the top hat, so..

no on the bigger wheels, 16's are the biggest I can with remaining below 4" ground clearance while still having a comfortable ride . . .if rotiform made 16's I would be all over the NUE's because I don't feel like spending 3500 bucks to get a custom set of wheels made.
im pretty low now on 14's and they are 60/65 aspect ratio, and I run 195 50 R15's when I run 15's because our wheel wells are very big so really smaller tire/wheel combo's look SUPER bad when you aren't dumped . . . and I didn't like air ride so I sticking to what I got.
Damn 14s??? I'd be laying drip rail if I was on 14s. Lol.
