i would go with thE GC coilovers, its a lil more spensive, but worth it to be able to adjust if u dont like it so far down or so far up.

i have to get COILOVERS cause my shox are f*cked right now and my rear sits 1 1/2" from tire and front sits 3"+

so GC will be best option casue i need one to be and inch more than the other and it will be hard ordering springs in pairs (and EXPENSIVE)

BUT i do have a question for everyone

for a 97 civic

if i get 17" rims with 42mm offset, 205/40/17 tires, when i drop it will i have a problem of rubbing, i ask because this is the most popular size wheel on civics



will the tire rub at all? does it sit inside of the fender? WILL i have to ROLL my fenders?WIll it RUB anything uNder the car. ie..the suspension in the rear or the steering knuckle in the front?

HELP

SOunds good to me but can someone please tell me where to get aftermarket shocks for an 03 civic Si... Can't find them anywhere... AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
