pics of civic?  Did some chollo slam that bitch and throw on a fart cannon?


more like some Cullo....
almost.. its not a fart cannon, they did the exhaust right, actually deep and muffeled, but def.slammed it by chopping the springs.. thats one of the things that scrapes over the 4" speed bumps they just put in...

Hard to tell the extent of what you "need." How much clearance, exactly, do you have currently? Any pics?


I can post pictures, but to put it lightly, the jack that came with the car will not fit under the pinch welds. id saaay, 4 inches give or take 1/4th
I got a flat a few months ago and had to get it towed to put a donut on it.
Ill edit tomorrow when i have some daylight with a picture n tape measure

Im not going to gain any height by getting tires alone will I...

Just put some oem springs on it... there is no need to worry or debate it.

The trick is not to buy a lowered civic with exhaust and other mods done.
You know he thought he was a racecar driver. Bagged it and sold it once reality hit and its slow and bottoms out on the yellow middle line

That is a bit redundant don't you think? Or do you mean struts?

So Springs add ground clearance, Struts just give a smother ride. right??
