Lowering My 93 Coupe

[93 LX COUPE]

i want to lower my car about 1.5 in. in front and 2.0 in. in rear. i want to know which springs are good and shocks or struts i should use. i need to replace my front end because it not good at all. i don't want to put stock shit back on. so any idea or setups let me know guys. thanks

there is a whole Q&A under the suspension section of this forum.
read through that to give you an idea as to what you will need.
ie, shocks and springs, or full coil over.

after that, do some searching around here to see what's being used
then take it to the interweb for pricing. weksos is a popular site for suspension stuff around this site.

i can tell you that most people here would agree that Nuespeed race springs and Tokico Blue shocks are a pretty decent setup.
not sure what the drop on that is though.

but when you start looking for springs, they will tell you what the drop is.

good luck

if your on a budget
i am running kyb gr-2s and have over 300miles on them and they are working great with my 2inch drop

Well Im from the Windy City Too! Welcome to the site. Im about to do the same thing. Im going to run Skunk2 coilovers with Skunk2 Sport shocks. I know its going to be a stiff ride. I just want the ability to raise and lower my car when needed. Im also doing new ball joints, tie rods, stabilizer pins and energy suspension kit. If you are going to do it might as well do it right. Dont cheap out on your suspension! expecially in a pothole ridden city like Chicago! you will regret it in the long run

cool your from chicago maybe we'll meet some day in the summer. but i heard about those skunks from my cousin and he said there pretty good he has them on his civic hatch and he did the whole energy bushing kit on the car. he said it is stiff but when yuor onthe track or in the streets it just gets up and goes. no bouncing around or any of that shit.

I have Megan springs with skunk2 shocks. All together I paid about $350. I like this setup a lot, but there is more body roll than I would like. However, the handling is much much better than stock. The springs are advertised to lower 2.0" front and 1.75" rear.

Yeah That would be cool! Quite a few of us from this web site do meet up like 1 time every couple of months in shriller forest preserve on Irving Park and Cumberland. I will keep you posted on the next meeting date. Like i stated before I am about to prepare for my suspension project. I will keep you posted on the difficulty level and how the car performs with the new modifacations.
