whats the cheapest but reliable method of lowering my car?

[HardInThePaint]

Come on pimps and playaz lets keep it real. Back in the day EVERYBODY used to cut their springs, including me. Yeah its wack now cuz of all the options out there (lowering spring, coilovers etc) but I know way back in mid to late 90's thats how people did it. We all know the hazards and whatnot and I do agree completely with it and I would NEVER roll on cut springs again. And yeah I'm sure there has been many an accident because of them but there are many an accident with pretty much anything u do pertaining to modding the suspension. I know this much, I've had many cars including a CB all on cut springs and never had problems and thats not including all my other homies rolling the same damn way. And this was on stock ass shocks and no type of camber kits or alignments or not of that shit. But like I said, I in no way condone cutting springs as a matter of fact I am completely against it. But come on yall are putting just a little too much topping on the entire subject. And to be honest I think most of you have never even rolled on cut springs and are just repeating what everybody else is saying.

Hmm, what would be some good prokits or sportlines springs? exactly..

Im thinking possibly on running some Koni Yellows, but unsure of the spring setup..

run with sprint extremes. those give any strut and spring combo a nice ride.

I had cut springs on my 1st CB (just in the rear) and it was fine, but I knew what I was doing (only cut the dead coils; didn't affect anything but height).

In general I would not recommend cutting springs though

Yeah yeah I completely agree with u. Hell no I wouldn't recommend it. But like I said I just think cats are blowing it up a little too much.

go to autozone and rent their spring compressors. then just run on spring compressors lol.

cheap and lowering should not go hand in hand...add in safe and you've blown it out of the water

what about skunk2 coil overs? friend put them on his civic and his are adjustable but it made it alot more bouncy i want to lower my car but am not sure what ones or what i need like would i need a camber kit and the whole strut or just lowering springs? i dont really trust cheap 40 ebay ones so i would spend about 350 on them what ones are good?

forget those ebay springs replace shocks if youre going to lower youre car if not it will be bouncy there is companies that sell fool kits from street to fully adjustable applications ...

[HONDUHCB7GIRL91]

all right.so if i save money up ill look for some then see if there good or not.

here is a pic of my dc5 with fully adjustable d2 doesnt bounce smooth ride...

[HONDUHCB7GIRL91]

if i just got springs would i need a camber kit? i am still learning about the suspension stuff so im clueless.

[1.5 ef]

yeah, if not you will wear out youre tires quick and unevenly ...

I've got KYB AGXs on Ground Controls. Good setup..not the BEST. But def. doesn't cost the most either. Konis cost a grip of money. KYBs w/ GCs don't. I spent about 600 on my setup. GCs i bought used and KYBs I bought new.

I lowered my car back in Aug. 2005 and its still doing fine, w/ no leaks in any of the shocks. Mileage then was approx 140k and I've got about 195k on the car now.
