You can't for the 240. Sorry. You are better off cutting the springs.

lol..na i dont wann cut em...i thin ill just get megan springs...is 2" drop good ..too low? any suggestions??

By 2 "bills" you mean $200 right?

I don't think you'll find coilovers at that price.

Post by **fayceoff** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 11:19 pm

You're not going to find coilovers (not even blown or leaking ones) for $200. If you just want the car lower, then $200 will get you a set of Eibach lowering springs...

2 bills? haha.

Yo yo, anyone know where I can get an SR for like 37 bucks?

2 bills? Like 200 dollars? You might as well buy some Ebay springs for cheap and use the rest of the money to buy some multi colored body kit and your set for the midnight roads. Seriously your not going no where with cheap mods on your car.

best way is to heat the coils with a torch and pile as many homies on your car that you can, the more homies the more drop

Antelope? Hey that's right by Sac! Yep, I lived in Sac too for a few years.

If $200 all you want to spend, then I guess get some Eibach sportlines. But I'd suggests saving up for some entry level coilovers like Megans or Stance.

I hope he's got good insurance for when the ebay springs give out and he winds up in the hospital from a wreck on the highway.

yes they do exist! i got some for 10$+shipping on ebay

they are tom motorsport! up to 4" drop ! i installed them on to my tokiko illuminias and the ride quality is decent fo coilovers!

BUT the roads are really nice here since we do not have snow in the winter!

THATS ONLY MY ADVICE!

I really, REALLY don't want to know what the "hole" setup looks like.

Post by **fayceoff** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 11:09 pm

Okay, how about this: Sell me your S14 and buy another Civic.

I think he means this crap.

This is crap.

Thats just a height adjustable perch right? seems like it would still be advantageous a bit....But wouldnt your spring rate fluctuate as you adjusted it?

No, cause they're linear springs. But that would probably be the least your concerns after your struts blow.
