#214863 i doubt it would help.

you can use 86-89 accord front shocks. they will lower your car a bunch!

#214878 if you want your car low... roll with some 13s.

the bigger the wheel, the more low you gotta go. if you put 17s on a stock car with say 13-15s you would have to lower the car just to get it back to the height with the smaller wheels.

in most cases anyway i guess. tire size also comes into play

#214882 I guess the 17 does come in place...idk, ive seen some civic with 17 and there tucking...i guess when i go back to work to check my alignment might adjust my camber and ill see how it goes...and when i look under the fender it looks like the upper CLArm are hitting the top mount....i guess i gotta look at some 14 or 15inch rims...will 16 do the trick or is it still to big? Cause ive got some tires thats 16inch....

#214916 You also have to take into consideration that the bigger the rim, the thinner the tire. In my opinion 17's are big for a civic and I know they fit, but the best size to me is 15 and 16's. Both 15 and 16" will lower your car a great deal. Also tire size matters as well

#214927 the body length is shorter i think. i think on our cars it lowers it 1"-1 1/2"
you have to use EF forks tho. you can use Wagovan rear struts to make it sit lower to.

id would go 15's 13's are to small.
