92civicEX Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hello, I'm still fairly new into modifying my ride.... but I'm currently looking into dropping it a few inches. I'm just looking for a few suggestions on the best route to go based on my needs. I was going to go all out and buy a full skunk2 coilover suspension kit, but I don't plan on doing any kind of track racing or anything like that, so I dont really see the point in paying that much for for excellent handeling. Then again, I dont want to go with the $60 lowering kits they have for sale on ebay either, because that just sounds sketchy. I want to keep it quality, without spending too much on something I wont even get the use out of. Also, I have heard about something called a "camber kit (sp?)"... that would prevent your tires from tilting inwards after you drop the car. Would I need one of these? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 you can get a set of skunk2 or numerous brands on ebay for cheaper than anywhere else. yes youl need a camber kit depending on how much you drop. you say a few inches , which is way too much , 2" is perfect imo.

92civicEX Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Alright, thanks guys... really appreciate the input. I'm looking at skunks ($650) or a brand called UGR ($550). Should that be about how expensive I'm looking at for quality, or would it just be buying the name? All the rest I've seen are going for around $100 bucks, and that just doesnt sound right.

compuvision02 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Springs and shocks should only be around $400 total; springs around $200 and shocks around $200. Give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
