I'm New Here And Also To Cars...

for lowering, you have a few options.
just springs are around 150
cheap coilovers are about the same
springs/coilovers + good shocks are around 5-600
entry level true coilovers (coilover and shock in one unit) start at 7-800
a camber kit is probably a good idea, and will run around 100

see if you can get a picture of the engine... once i know what's in there, i can better give performance recommendations.

Ill get the pic asap...

But now im wondering... does my car look good enough (right now) to drive around town? Should i remove the rims? What do you think? Cuz i don't wanna look like an idiot, and i don't get paid till friday (and every OTHER friday after that)

[simplegreen]

the car looks fine, although i hope you didnt pay for a new motor through your dealer, cause if you're just about to turn around and swap, you just waisted a lot of money.

Get it lowered with a good set of shocks and springs a camper kit, invest the 800 bucks and not have to deal with it again for a while.

Suspension first...it will make the biggest difference.

post some pics of the motor i'm curious

[Wes]

Well, now im in a pickle..

The whole reason I'm gettin the car is to fix it up.. If i lower it, insurance will not cover it, neither will it cover any modifications i do to the car... ya'll are probably thinking "duh" but thats a shocker to me.. which sucks ass...

Now.. should i keep the 95 civic (which has insurance that is more than the car payment itself) or should i get a newer car (maybe an SI?) insurance is always gonna be high for me because im 16, but with such high insurace, why not get a newer car?

i need ya'll to help me decide.. i need to know by tomorrow 0_0

i dunno what to do

they will insure it..what you need to do is insure it for value, not for the car...you have to provide proof of modification for that to work...thats how my civic is insured! lol i have my civic insured for 22,000...but, they will only cover it on the street(because its still registered) If i take it to the track and something happens...theyll tell me to go to hell

[Wes]

^ I'll ask and see what they'll do... i worked 14? hours today and only got a 10 minute lunch break.. so i couldn't go by anywhere else to look at a car...

But i dunno.. what company of insurance you have? i have statefarm insurance

[Hybrid_Coupe]

I used to use statefarm, now i have AAA insurance...
