Sorry for the very basic thread,

Ok i am sick of my ride height on my civic its to high, i want to lower it as far as i can on springs as i cannot be bothered on waiting for coilovers.

So can anyone recommend me any springs with a lower drop then this? preferably want another inch to 2 on top of that.

Please help me,

Thanks,

James

diy cut spings ftW.

DO NOT DO THIS. Its illegal and highly dangerous.

BTW to the original poster , search through our Traders section~ there is a few reputeable guys dealing in whiteline , kmac and king springs.

Go to Kmac in Rockdale, tell them (or even show them) how high you want the car and they'll make the springs.

well i have 16's on 40 prof tyres and they are not scrubing at all ever, tried my hardest to find 35 profile for my 16's but no luck. I think i am going to go with kmac, can anyone recommend any places in brissy, i know ozzy tyres stocks it but does anyone know any where else?

Dont go for lowered springs if ur going that low. Coilover sleeves (same as coilovers but go over your standard shocks) are the way to go. Cheap and height adjustable

selling those springs if anyone wants it, that was on standard shocks, 16inch rims, low pro tyres. Can't tell you km's on springs etc cause it was on the car when I bought it

Yeah i will never cut my springs i know a few guys who have tried and ended up in disasters. I have tried super lows in my car and even the guy who installed it wasnt happy with it so we tried a few other springs until i found a set that i was happy with.
