Hey pplz
Ok i got a honda civic hatch 99 gli. I have had it lowered with king spring super lows, didnt drop much. Took those out and now have Blitz springs they were bought second hand but are those 2 stage springs anyway they brought the car alot lower to the ground then with the super lows. I wanna absolutely drop my car as low as i can take it. What should i look to next will koni adjustables with my springs go well? or should i look into some after market coil overs? ps i will be fitting 18inch rims sooner or later. But more then likely will only be for show. I have a set of 16's. Just want to see what you guys did for your cars to get to that height. PS this is its current ride height.http://img51.exs.cx/img51/4789/dsc000337xw.jpg

get aftermarket coilovers... especially if you are planning on swapping the wheels around every now and then... it would help to have the flexibility to adjust everything when doing so.

Thats it on 18's. We have tried heaps of combos on my car. this is the lowest we could get it. Like even springs that have been worn in.

when ever you buy springs, bring the car in and dont tell them 2 inches or whatever, you tell them you want it level with the rims or lower, that way if its higher you can always go in and complain so they will have to redo it

Just pass your car over to MrPLOW. He'll set you up! ;)

Seriously but, go with coil-overs. It's your safest option.
Unless you wanna try bags?

i got my car slammed and i dont have coilovers, just go to a spring place that will make custom springs for any height u want, i want to get coilovers too but at the moment i cant afford it so springs will do

in NSW i got mine at allsprings.....and those of u have seen it know my car is slammed, ppl think its bouncy but get surprised when the ride in it, its quite comfortable and i put 5 ppl in it often. it might not be good for the handling my cars nto a track car yet....
