the type r handles really well, but sits abit too high for my liking...

Im tempted to put some lowering springs on it, but really dont want to upset the ride/handling.

When I lowered the RS it handled alot better but was abit bumpy or certain roads..

Anyone lowered one

thanks

I fitted Coilovers to mine and it transformed it, it was great before but alot better after. If I was to do it again I wouldn't bother with Coilovers and just buy ABP springs, everyone says they're amazing and they lower it by quite alot too!

cheers Stoo..

I assume your not talking about the cossie..?

Ill have a look at the ABP springs and keep the shocks.. No other mods required like geometry set-up afterwards..?

thanks

I would think geometry should be looked at after lowering on the civic yes.

Its only a civic though, not like it has the Integra's handling so just lower it and be done

Not talking about the Cossie I had an '02 Type-R new. I got the geometry done on mine after but I went really low so though it best to get get it done. I'd reccomend it anyway as they handle so well to start with, you don't really want to mess things up

Depends on what car, how its lowered, if the camber and tracking are corrected, if its still got enough travel for the shocks used to work effectively etc.

In general YES if done properly, but done properly tends to involve lots of things that people DONT do.

cheers lads..

Ballin - not keen on integra's at all.. each to there own and all that

Stoo - didnt realise you used to have a type r, got any pics.. want to see how low you mean by low..

What other things should someone do after tracking and camber?

Suspension geometry setup via corner weighing etc??????

Yes weights are certainly key.

Im not really qualified to comment much further though im afraid, its not something I know a huge amount about compard to others on here.

Only got a couple, not great but will give you an idea. Black too!
