Default Lowered Civic Plus Tips

Heres my lowered civic.... I didn't lower the front down all the way yet cuz I need to sand the wheel wells. Tell me what you think about it I mean its not like pro but it looks cool.

--------------Before--------------


--------------After--------------


--------------Another After--------------


To lower without choppin the springs take off the clip and sand the plastic down and the wheel well then sand the clip holder and clip for the front and the wheel wells ill post some tut pics later!

No prob dude. I've done it once or twice before. If it happens again, click the X right by the edit button and you'll be able to delete the post. The thing that I get made about are the double posts that are like 15 minutes apart because someone forgot to type something.

Is that low enough? This is done without the modification to the suspension system!!

Default Spring Lowering

An old trick is to put a piece of soft rubber gas line tubing on the shock shaft to keep it from bottoming out.
With the body so low, make sure the rubber tube stops the body from contacting the tire during a run, spoiling your speed and possibly flipping out your car from high speed instant body rubbing
