    Lowering 2000 civic sir question

    I want to lower my 200 civic, and want some suggestions.

    1) what kind of equipment is available, and is suggested?
    2) I'm sure there are wrong ways and right ways.. what should I know to
    avoid the wrong ways?
    3) What kind of cost am I looking at?

    you have 3 choices, one is the wrong way. The wrong way is to either cut
    your springs or to heat them up and squat them, please, dont do that, it
    isn't safe to drive. other to ways are up to you, either get lowering
    springs or get adjustable coilover's. Unless your going for expensive
    coilovers, springs tend to be higher quality. Expect to pay in the
    neighborhood of 200-300cdn of a descent set such as eibach. Dont forget that
    you will also need a set of struts to go with these, if you leave in the
    factory struts your car will have a tendency to bounce (not safe at all) and
    you will wear out the struts quickly. Once again for a decsent set, expect
    to pay somewhere in the 200-400cdn range. Coilovers are used more commonly
    then springs, just because they are cheap and adjustable. I know a couple
    people with toms motorsports coilovers that they got off of ebay for approx
    100 cdn and love them, best of all they can adjust their ride height within
    a few minutes. Also factory into your cost installation(if you dont plan to
    do it yourself) and a four wheel alignment after that

    The only "cheap" coilovers I would get are by skunk2 or ground control,
    these run around $400 US. For regular springs go with Eibach, Progress or
    any popular brand. If you want the best setup go for true coilovers like KW
    V2s or Tein type flex. These run between $1000 and $1500 but are the best
    because they are height and rebound adjustable and the shock is tuned to the
    spring
