Looking for a set of adjustable coilovers. 4" drop. eg civic

[Jums]

i searched but eh..couldn't find the info.

just looking for any suggestions on which adjustable coilovers give a 4" drop to eg civic. full or not doesn't matter. reasonable quality.

[lukecivic]

im sure you could get that much with the buddyclub variaty.

Theyre a awesome peice of gear.

2 way height adjustable coilovers will give you close to that much.

4" drop is too much anyway

[thepope1986]

if you drop the car 4" your going to screw the suspension geometry and the car will probably handle worse than before. try 1-2" max unless you change the suspension completely

[hastE]

4" drop on what, 13" rims?

lol wtf..
nah just 15" front 16" rear

[Jums]

yea i guess the ride quality lessens..hahaha..

[DNY*BOY]

unless ur wheels are camber to the sh!thous3 then 4" waste of time 3inch is usually plenty i got skunks if ur interestd adjustable coilovers springs with sleeves and skunk sport shocks ...

[altong0840]

for stock type-R it only goes 1.5 inch maximum lower, i think 3 on EG will give you uncomfortable and less performance at the same time

I'm not very familiar with Civics, but my mate has an EG, and the rear suspension bump travel seems quite short even at the stock height. Wouldn't any substantial lowering mean that you're likely to be bottoming out the rear end a LOT, unless you fitted very stiff springs and possibly short body dampers?

In any case, a 4" drop seems quite excessive, and as 'thepope' suggests is likely to mess with the suspension geometry and result in at least somewhat strange handling...

If you change the angles of the wishbones a lot (as will happen with a large drop) then the 'instant centres' of the 'virtual swing arms' will change position and the virtual swing arms will become shorter, and also the loctaion of the instant centres will change position with any suspenion deflection more so than they would at a higher ride height.

The upshot of this is that this would cause the location of the roll centre to change location (posssibly quite a lot and quite abruptly) with any suspension movement (including roll motion), which may cause a sudden change in the distribution of weight transfer, which could result in 'difficult' handling.

guys the drop is purely aesthetic . He dont care how the car handles after or how long parts last , he just wants to drive around with a dumped car.

[Jums]

hahaha ea just want it for the looks. go low or go home!! had to get the exhaust pipe rewelded several times on m old car! shite! lol

[GreekWarrior]

you've been looking at those $30 dollar coilover spring kits on ebay havent you lol... i saw them aswell but thought that for $30, something is bound to go horribly wrong..

[YaMiKaZe]

Function Form Type 1's will give u the drop ur lookin for.
either that or GC/koni

gc/koni's look pretty sweet.
still in process of researching so gonna check out function form type 1's also.:thumbsup:

[ray_ray1797]

y dont u just bagg it. then u can raise and lower the height of ur ride at will
then u can have an extremely low car and roll with the minitruckers

providing u dont live in qld in which it is illigal and id stay with coilovers

but then again its much more expencive to bagg a car

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Bahahahahhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
