right now i have all stock suspension and 17 inch rims. A.K.A bad handle'n and hurtinh my acceleration, and for the longest time i was fine with that because i liked the way it looked. That was untill i rode in my brother's new 91 honda civic hatch.. it is sittin on 15's and it is slammed to the ground. that car is THE BEST handeling car i have ever rode in. i want my car like that. Now i belive he has GR2 struts and i dunno what eles. what is the best and easiest way to drop my car and make it handel well?

 

u wantgood handling?

lose the 17s

lowering the car only puts more weight on the cars already stock suspension, and wont make u handle like u think it will

 

i plan on selling my 17's and buyin some light weight 15's. by lowering it i ment some stiffer springs and maybe some aftermarket struts.. any certian brands i should look into?

 

koni is the best, then right behind them is kygb or watever, those are stuts

great site

sell ur 15s and get a set of nice lowering springs that only drop maybe an inch and a half, anymore ull be feeling it

 

if u really wnat a excellant handling car get sum 16's and put coilovers on your car.. yes it cost a bit more, but it will pay off in the long run.

 

get thicker sway bars and urethane bushings for suspension, and get motor mount inserts
quality=more money

u sacrifice ride quality by being cheap

 

how the hell does motor mounts make my car handel better? that makes no sence.. but anyway i already have those so.. thanks anyway.

 

try to do a burnout or take off at a luanch
u get alot of wheel hop right?

now put these motor mounts in with a more solid bobble strut(mtx only)
now try a burnout or a crazy takeoff

these will help you hook up, no more time fumbling throught 1st and 2nd trying to gain traction.
open ur hood and rev ur engine, it doenst move like most do, hese mounts help more than u understand
and the bobble strut helps reduce shift shock betwwen shifts

dont belive me?
either try it or ask others

 

well no ****! lol i am not talkin about doing launches.. i am talkin bout corners. i have solid mounts anyway so lets jus drop that. i pretty much know what i am going to do now anyway and that is 15 inch rims and some KYB GR2 struts with some eibach 2 or 2.5 inch drop. i dont care about how smooth my car rides (if i cared about smoothness i wouldn't have all solid mounts).. so yeah, thats what i am doin. thanks for the help.

 

why ask if u know wat to do?
