I found a good deal on a '99 Civic Si with only 38,000 miles... the only problem is its lowered and I need to drive it in the winter.

So what parts do i need to change to bring it back to stock ride height? I think the guy said I have to change the springs, struts and shocks.... is that right?

And he said theres lowering springs in the front, and i dont remember exactly but i'm pretty sure he said coilovers in the back

 

you can just buy some stock spings and use the struts that are on the car

 

Contrary to popular belief, you can still drive a lowered car in the winter.

 

:stupid: :werd:

 

Well it depends on how low it is. 1-2" drop should be fine although the more ground clearance you have the better (of course). Also having less than 1 degree of negative camber helps the tires bite better in the snow.

 

so i dont need to buy shocks?
Cause i was thinking maybe it has some shocks specifically for lowering?? no?

thanks for the info guys

 

not on bad snow days when theres 6-10 inches of snow on the road.. its way too low. The guy pretty much slammed it

 

Yeah, springs will do it. The shocks on there should be fine. Make sure you get alignment after you swap the springs out though.

 

thanks for the post...

so no matter what kinda shocks or struts on it... all i need is stock springs to bring it back to stock height?

 

Shocks don't matter, just the springs.
