#4405 Away to drop my 93 civic hatch by 60mm. I got apex shocks with a 40mm drop but it aint enough!

Just wondering if anyone out there has a 60mm drop and if they got pics so i can see first?

Or indeed pics and info about your ride and ride hight so i can achieve the look i want?

Save your money mate and buy a decent set of of coilovers.
If you fit thoses sleeves then you probably won't live to regret it!!!! :shock: :thumbdown:

#5125 Yea save ur money and get some good coilovers or springs. I wanted to lower my 1st civic so bad that i bought the cheap coilovers from this guy i knew and my front end sat so low i couldnt drive it . I had 17s on it and the fender overlapped the rim so learn from my mistake and get a good set
