Default what would you do?

im getting a trailer soon enough, but i cant decided which car i want to put the hitch on. either my hatch or the coupe.

if i put it on my car, i can go wherever i please to go riding, but, i dont like leaving my car anywhere offroad. or it can go on the coupe, but it might be a mission sometimes to get it, if my girl works, ill have to lend her my car :nervous: i dont mind, unless she parks it at the front of her workarea, where its less suited to get hit by a soccermoms SUV door...alot of SUVs go to her job. and we arent worried about her car, it needs to be repainted anyhow, and there is not a thing to be stolen off the car.

what would you do?

I wouldn't put a hitch on either. If you need to tow stuff get a truck. Civic's weren't designed to tow things.

put it on her car. Your paint is too nice to risk it... plus its probably not wise to put too much stress on your high-milage turboed D by towing a trailer around.

lol... my buddy has a trailer hitch on his 89 Si...looks really stupid too.

im pretty sure civics can tow ~1000lbs from the factory. the # is reduced ALOT once you lower. i remember readin the eibach documentation and it says that you should NEVER tow once youre lowered. i have gc coils, and i would never tow. i'd trust some normal springs tho. the trailer hitch should bolt into the frame, so you should be able to unbolt it any time
