They are for FD civics, the springs and the adjuster are seperate to the shock itself if u look carefully... they are put together for the photo only...

I mean if your willing to drive slow and turn corners lightly then big wheels would be the way to go. So what do you suggest stif even if i go 17's and if i drop it too low it would still scrub in the side at the front when i turn either way and ill have to get a camber kit for sure. Tyres would start going bald inside. Or i have the option of getting spacers but then the wheel guard would scrub either way even if i roll them. hmmz dilemma bro
its not really the size of the rim that makes it scrub. more to do with the width, offset and tyres. u could have 20x8 +42 and still be fine. if ur offset is too low, and tyres are too wide, then u will scrub regardless of whether its 17" or 20".
if ur scared of potholes on a bigger size rim, u could option for a bigger profile of tyres. it can give u slight better comfort and more space between ur rims and the road
ok so.. what is the offset range a fd1 civic can have may i ask? offset has to do with how much it sticks out right yeh from the hub so having said that there is a recommended offset for each car right?
possibilities are endless for offset and width, easiest way is to pick a wheel you like, see what size,offset and width the manufacture offers and work from there
ive been through the whole spectrum of 16", 17", 18", 19" and 20" wheels while i was on coiloversQuote:

not too low to the point where the wheels cant turn though! im saying like 1-3" drop here
