- Civic lowered by 2"
- Posted by MattA
Hi All,
Ever since I have lowered my 1995 Civic by 2" the handling is very stiff
(feels like a tank) and my cd has started skipping on every little bump. Is
it normal and expected or something wrong? I have also checked the alignment
already.
Appreciate your help.

dur. you expected different? personally, get away from the civic. rice up
something everyone doesnt have. like me, i tricked out my 2k daewoo lanos s.
bitch runs ~230hp now, compared to 108 stock. has a few dents in it...
doesnt make a buncha noise... but that car will get up and go like theres no
tomorrow. great gas mileage in city AND highway (30mpg and 50mpg when driven
sanely). i lowered my car ~1 inch... little less maybe. handles a bit better
and indeed it is a rougher ride. had you done your research, you would have
known this. HTH!

Your car will handle just as good if you put the stock springs back on but
retain the adjustable struts. Those coilovers are garbage for a street car.
Great for max perf on a race track but for the street...
The rest of your setup is solid if improved handing is your goal.

Thanks for the info. I was expecting some discomfort but not to this level.
Some how I thought I cannot lower the car without coilovers. I guess I have
wasted some money on those maxspeed coilovers.
Appreciate your advice...
