Ok so i just purchased 17in wheels (don't even ask if there Chrome cause they ain't!!!) But anyway im riding now on 15in borbet wheels and i damaged 2 of em so im in need of new wheels. These 17in wheels will look perfect but now im wondering do i go smaller? are there benefits beyond racing for smaller wheels or will it really slow me down. Also in order to compensate for the huge wheel difference wut type of suspension upgrades do i need. (remember money is tight right now so only the bare minimum for now). I know i need lowering springs and imma get either the Eibach or the skunk2 lowering springs. But do i need camber kits as well as shocks or can i just get camber kits for now and get shocks lata? Or vice versa? Let me know please and also i need this info asap as it will be performed this weekend based on results!!!!

 

the lighter the wheel... the less torque it takes to spin them

 

springs with struts first, then camber kit.

If you're going to be racing, I'd say a 16" would work well.

 

I have the Skunk2 springs and I love them. I didn't need a camber kit with them, so I would say get the springs and struts first.

 

dont need a camber kit with the eibach pro-kits either....

 

yeah man remember that the bigger the rim the more the engine needs to spin them as for your suspension get the skunk 2 and you can use your stock shocks for now. camberkits aren't needed yet unless you have bags on the car or something. as for size go 16's

 

wut do u mean by bags "guy" as in air bag suspension. No everything is stock. So now the question is it seems as if some of this info is a little conflicting. U guys are saying if i go with eibach springs i don't need camber kits? and if i go with skunk2 i don't need camber kits? the guy at the shit shop near me said i springs and camber kits but that i didn't need shocks causeits a 2000 honda civic dx hatch all stock. WTF!!! right now im looking at eibach springs or skunk2 springs and some kyb agx shocks. i hear its perfect match. Also is there a difference between coilovers and lowering springs?

 

That guy at the shop doesn't know what he is talking about. h: You will need struts because you stock ones will end up blowing since you are putting lowering springs in the car. Coilovers-You can adjust your ride height. Springs-they come at a set ride height.

 

is there a place to get all ur suspension kits together for a lower price. I saw the eibach pro-kit and kyb agx shocks in one package for 550. but i lost the url?

 

I don't know of a place to get em as a package but I know you can go to coximport and get he KYB AGX struts with a HAN discount. Thats where I got my AGX's and I'm really happy with em. I also bought some Tein S. Tech springs off ebay for like $150 shipped, which have an even drop of 1.8 front and rear. With that kinda drop I would say a camber kit would be a good idea, just to be on a safe side. I got a front Ingalls kit from ebay for like $150 as well but you can buy that a lil later, since it won't hurt you all that bad right away. Hope this helps!
