Your build is radness! I just bought me a 1990 Honda Civic LX, manual of course :P. It needs some work but nothing i cant fix.. My starter just shat itself lol but on another note, I've started work on my stance. Bought me some cheap coilovers of ebay and going to install them on factory shocks until I do some more research.. thanks for the inspiration! I will make a thread soon and keep you updated!

Just scrolled 3 pages back looking for this thread without looking for it the easy way... Didn't realize it was bumped to the first page -___- haha

Thanks, man! I wish mine was an LX.. I'd prefer the power options and such but having it so basic and manual options.. means less that can go wrong haha.
Make a thread yo!












More random pics.

Yeah I kinda figured that's what it'd be for. Thanks for answering all my questions and everything man. Oh by the way I cant figure out how to start a thread on here.... haha how do I do it?

No problem yo!
Just go back to the page where you are looking at all the different titles of different people's threads. Look toward the top left above the threads and you'll see a red button that says
"New Thread" and click it and continue from there!

Sorry to thread jack...

But if you want to have your car painted, don't be afraid to try it yourself. Remember its just paint, you can always go back over it.

It's cool man. yeah I actually helped my dad paint one of his trucks about year ago and it didnt turn out too bad but I think I'd be to worried to mess up and have to roll looking like **** for awhile haha. so i'll probably just wait to get it done by a pro.

I have high springs rates so my car won't bottom out being as low as it is.
Don't worry about offsets. Do what you want. No I don't paint for a living lol.
I know people around here that do though.

I noticed you painted yours yourself you don't happen to do that for a living do you? I've been thinking about seeing what prices would be to get my rust taken care of and a re-spray... but that's a good idea

I'd love to get konis but its gonna take me awhile to get them haha but holy **** man how come your spring rates are that high?! I've never really heard of anyone having spring rates that high before lol yeah I'd like to get shorter springs as well and sometimes I just think about cutting them but that'd be pretty shotty. I think for now I may cut my perches in the rear to drop me a tad bit more, and I've finally decided what wheels I want for sure now! Theyre xxr 531 15x8 +20.... I know I know, thats a really high offset, but I dont want to have to do alot of fender work and with my small rust on that rear side rolling would be a pain. I noticed you painted yours yourself you don't happen to do that for a living do you? I've been thinking about seeing what prices would be to get my rust taken care of and a re-spray... but that's a good idea, I'll see if I cant make sometime between work and school to start up a thread! But I know what you mean man, there's always something to do next and its always a work in progress

AWESOME!!

Only suspension I would recommend for going super low would be the Koni/GC combo with extended top hats. My spring rates are 850lbs front & 750lbs rear and my springs are 6in long, 2.5in diameter.
Make a build thread on here and get pics up and talk about your plans and see where you end up when it's all done. My plans changed a few times over the course of my build thread. I'm gonna keep doing things to it all the time. I'll never stop.
