Is there a package deal anywhere that I could buy shocks and struts?

 

your car has struts. When people say "shocks" in reference to a civic, they really mean struts.

If youre seriously worried about quality, I would reconsider your choice of coilovers. If you just want the look, then you should be alright.

How far you want to be lowered can't really be decided on teh intraweb. Just set it where you want it, drive around, raise/lower as needed.

 

Sweet ride west coast. How do you post pics though, I've been tryin but I just can't figure it out?

 

Yo personall Opinion . #1 Get rid of those cheap ass springs and get a set thats about $75-$100 more trust me your will be happy


#2 I was driving took a turn not going that fast at all and almost ate the way because of those cheap shits .

#3 Do you like jumping jacks ? Your car will become a ball bouncing around EVERYWHERE !

#4 the way there built is cheap . The screws will bust .

But hey thats just what happend to me with the ractive coilovers .

 

You can just attach a pic by goin to "attach" and then browse, find the pic on your puter and post it. Yea Ractive sucks, if you're gonna have springs I say eibach or H&R. Or ground control/skunk 2 coilovers. Ebay has package deals or modacar.com has packages.

 

I bought the euro style ones though would that make a difference?

 

"euro style" is just a buzz word. Just as JDM style and what not. It doesn't make it any better than just a crappy set of springs.

Look at it this way: do the 'good' brands of springs say that they're a syle of anything? :goodjob:

 

You all have a point then, looks like I'll be sending them back and getting some Skunk 2. I still don't know how to attach a pic I've tried everything? Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I just have to find a website that sells skunk 2's cheap . Money is kinda tight . Very bad economy in Pennsylvania...

 

Don't feel bad man I have them on my civic coupe and I rather have the stock ones on . Try to always get the best or get nothing . And when it comes to your car thats should always be rule #1 . Your not only driving the car your risking your life . Keep that in mind !

 

if you are going to run 2.0 inches or lower, a CAMBER kit is recommended if you want to save your tires and daily drive the car.

ball joints are neither better nor worse than the anchor bolts. ball joints need to be pressed in by a machine shop and may require more $$ to do so on top of getting the suspension aligned.

as far as anchor bolts and the upper control arms, they both extend the supsension about .25 to .5 inches outward. this setup may start to rub your upper control arms against the chassis or even bang the chassis on bumps.

as with any suspension mod that requires you to take apart the suspension...always get an alignment afterwards. camber is not the only tire killer.




the skunk2 ball joints are known to deteriorate.



did you get an alignment to fix the toe in/out?
