Hello,

I have a Black 95 civic ex 2dr with Rims and one 12in sub.
The next thing I'm adding on is a body kit and lowering Springs. The Body kit is wings West Big Mouth frount W type sides and either W type rear or Rs Rear bumper. I had a ? about painting the kit. I'm sure that your cars have some sort of a finish on it. mine has a golden flake type deal, How much to get the car painted the honda factory black and have the Finish (gold) put in there also? I have already call a lot of the shops and they have to see my car first... I just looking for a range .
Future Plans:
Exhaust - Maybe Tanabe (any other ideas?)
Engine work- (header intake chip ect)
Carbon Fiber Hood
clear/red Tail lights & Halo Head lights (the guy with the white civic Rs kit, thats some nice Sh*t you got going on there :thumbup: )

I new so don't hurt my feeling:crying:

Personally I would wait later to get a kit. Get an intake, then exhaust, then hood , then once that is straightend out you can get a kit. But personally I think a fixed up Civic looks nicer without a kit.

Well a lot of people get CoilOvers which are springs that you can adjust the ride height over, I think they have like a 4'' span or something.

But for actual function you should only lower it until you get rid of fender gap or even have a little fender gap, so like 2'' tops. Also once you get below 2'' drop you need a camber kit since your wheels will stick out, and they are like $150 supposedly per wheel. But you can just use washers for the back 2 wheels. Keep that in mind.

If you get springs might I recommend Neuspeed Sport Springs.

:wavey: Welcome.

Hold off on the body kit till you get the car lowered.
Ground control coil over sleeve kits are the best(as far as sleeve kits go) but full coil overs are way better:thumbup: .

Has anyone mentioned that we love pictures?hint hint .

What would you say the best adjustable coilovers are? Also, are most of the adjustable coilovers easy to change the height?
Thanks
