Shock and Springs Question.....

[CalWong]

I just bought a 97 EK hatch with 17 Rim and the car is lowed. (no Gap in the rear, even lower)

I am planning to higher my car around 1.5inch, but the problem is I don't know the details about my shock.

So I am wondering If I get a spings which lowing my car around 1.3inch, would it be fit on my aftermarket shock?

Please give me some advice or if anybody feel their EK is not lowed enough, I don't mind to exchange springs if it fit my aftermarket shock.

if u get springs designed for your EK1 hatch civic, then yes, they will fit on your shock. btw, what aftermarket shock do u have?

your aftermarket shock might have adjustable perches, which means, ur shocks can do the raising for you ;)

pm i may have deal for you.

but as for you springs fiting your aftermarket shock There is no reason why it wouldnt. sounds likle its not super super lower so im guessing its a standard " sport " shock.

haha.. thats a good news... I really don't know about the shock, my fd told me is a good stuff

but I don't think my shock is adjustable.

sport springs for ek usually dont lower that much.(no gap, rear even more...)
On EK, super low look lowered to me.
BTW, mine is 2 inch drop and still I have enough gap for a finger to go through.
