Civic lowered by 2"
Hi All,
Ever since I have lowered my 1995 Civic by 2" the handling is very stiff (feels like a tank) and my cd has started skipping on every little bump. Is it normal and expected or something wrong? I have also checked the alignment already. Appreciate your help. Matt. A.. - KYB Adjustable struts - Maxspeed coil overs - Sprint camper kit - Mugen strut towerbars - Toyo Proxes FZ24 205/40VR16 |

Re: Civic lowered by 2"
Your car will handle just as good if you put the stock springs back on but
retain the adjustable struts. Those coilovers are garbage for a street car. Great for max perf on a race track but for the street... The rest of your setup is solid if improved handing is your goal.

Re: Civic lowered by 2"
Thanks for the info. I was expecting some discomfort but not to this level.
Some how I thought I cannot lower the car without coilovers. I guess I have wasted some money on those maxspeed coilovers. Appreciate your advice...
