How to lower my car???

[fobs]

I have read the lowered 101 faq,... but not 100% understood.

I intend to get perhaps the Eibach prokit,... and get a standard drop for the CB. My shocks are stock, so can i just maintain that?

I want a lowered ride,... but still feel the Honda factory comfortability R&D on the CD. I do not race and most of the time I am driving at 80kmh in the city and perhapss 110 or 120 on the highway,.... could go to 160kmh and above though.

so, it's just the lowered look and perhaps a little performance.

care to comment and give ideas???

well first off, just lowering spring with stock shocks is a big big no no. ull blow ur shocks and then ur really fd lol. its gonna be hard to find a decent drop and maintain quality. not an issue for me tho, i like em stiff (haha). good luck tho

best way im thinking for you would be to get some upgraded shocks such as the KYB GR-2's that can handle the extra strain of the lowering springs. Since you're just looking for a slight drop, this is the best option IMO. Stock shocks as said before will not cut it at all, I mean they might be really old too, so would u really want to re-use them? Think of it as an investment such as a CAI or Catback exhaust that'll give you some performance.

i like em stiff

haha j/k
but yea, if u wanna lower ur car u will sacrifice some comfortability no matter what

LOL it happens

if I had the money and wanted a subtile drop (1-1.5") I would get some good quality struts (koni, KYB, etc..) and maybe some eilbach springs. still a good ride but not too expensive and better responce in handling.

if your going for looks, try a more unique look and lift it

^^lol
you really should replace the struts whether you want a slight drop and 1.25f/1r or you are going for a 4 inch drop. the stock struts have run their course and are probably VERY close to being done or are done. so do it right and do it once

hehe!!

thanx guys,.
i'll try to look up some members' thread for info,... but if you guys know what economical pair of spring/shock can be used,... juz lemme know

i'm going for the eibach springs,... cost abt 800 here,... abt 225usd

trying to make up my mind abt the shocks though,... dont want to spend too much money on it. yeah,... my shocks are already 15yrs old.

some guy is selling some H&R Sport springs for $100 tthat drop 1.7 ish.

You'll love eibach sportlines, they ride like stock especially with shocks.

here's my set up

eibach sportlines + kyb agx



got a GREAT deal, $60 for 1 year old springs, $170 for 4 month old shocks

I dont recommend pro kit if you want a dropped look because those drop very little and you wont be very satisfied.

1.2" for pro kit and 1.8" for sport lines.
