I need my 93' civic lowered... but i have no clue, what i need and what i should do, some say i just need the coilovers, some say i just need springs, some say i need to go all the way and get the struts and the whole nine yards... i need someone who knows what the hell theyre doing to help me out and do it for me... im willing to pay, .... just please help me out. thanks.

 

coil overs are a more expensive set up although they are adjustable so you can actually lower and or raise your car whenever you choose to...shocks and springs are an easier and cheaper (not cheap in quality, just cost) set up..all you need to do is rent a spring compressor from advanced auto parts ($40) and they refund your money once you return it..compress the spring to fit over the shock/strut and replace the cap...you can probably keep your old sturts/shocks depending on how worn they are and depending on how low you are gonna lower your car

so basically go price a set up springs and shocks...

 

i would go with drop spring, that way you don't have to get it aligned but once unless something happens, unlike coilovers which everytime you change the height you have to get it realigned or just don't and have tires that wear the inner walls which leads to blowouts.... but thats just my 2cents.....

 

i would say, Tein Basic's. they are an adjustable coilover/with upgraded shocks (non adjustable). judging by your post i dont think you would be racing the car at the track. so basic's are good for daily driving and would be your best bet imo. they are a little stiff but they ride pretty smooth. i like them a lot better than omni's/skunks/ground control.

where are you located, if in nova i can get some to lower it for you
