Will 88-00 coilover kit fit 86 lxi sedan
Sup crew.
Will first of all sorry for the post. but i looked in the threads and found a couple but aint what i am looking for. So the question is will the 88-00 coilover kits fit my car . i saw a couple of threads saying that they should. but i want to know for sure cuz im going to buy some this week if it is. Help me out Asap. thanks
Josh
why do you want coilover? there no struts strong enough to keep your car from bouncing all over the road.
get some lowering springs.
Alex.
Well I would get your hopes down yet. I think we can work around this problem with the Blistens. When you say 88-00 what car are you talking about???
I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
I mean just the coilovers kit. with stock struts. i know its bad but right now i have a bouncy ass ride and i rather be like my friend using coilover kit with stock struts. its not that bad i mean shit i am already used to it. its pretty stiff to. cuz what i got is a floatly boncy and its really gay. u can see me moving up and down in the high way. so If they fit on my 86 accord sedan i will do it. but tell me if they do. i need to know by this week. thanks guys.

If you do this your ride will become worse. From what you said it sounds like the shocks are bad. If you want to stop it from bouncing all over the place get new shocks. If you want to lower it get lowering springs. Coilovers usually have a tight bouncy ride that is uncomfortabe. I.E. ground control and eibach coil overs. You can get lowering springs for about 100-150.Originally posted by Rendon LX-i

I just want to know if they will fit or not. U making it sound like they do. But i get the I.E prolly. But I just want to know IF the 88-00 Civic coilover kit will work .

Cuz it sucks having uneven cut springs. and heated to. i bought the car that way. it really sucks. i just want the 88-00 kit for know to get by the floaty bounce.

the front will fit, but the back won't.
Alex.
oh ok. is there any other kits that will work. like 90-97 accord maybe
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
4 gen accord coils will work but they are even stiffer than the ones for 3 geez.
Alex.
so the 90-97 are 4 gen. How much stiffer?
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
The 90-93 is the fourth gen, the 94-97 is the fifth gen. They both had the same suspension.
What is up with trying to get suspension parts not made for the 3g?
You can get coilovers, springs and shocks that are made for your car.

Well your best bet would be the 92-00 Civic strut/springs. According to Jim they are about the clossest fit but I'm not sure what has to be done inorder to make them work. Another option is to find out what struts are the close to stock and they find some springs that are a close fit. You will have a frankenstine supension set-up but that would be my only other idea.
Or just go with the accord lowering springs.

if you're looking for dirt cheap lowering, cut your springs. Its free and will ride better then cheap ass coilovers.
If you want coilovers, i've been told by a couple different performance shops that 95-00 civic springs will work, front and back.

will i just sayed Phuck it. I just ordered drop zone lowing springs. took your advice. thanks guys. 2.5 in front and 2.1/4 at back. prolly going to need camber kit. But i am already lower then that. i have heated and cut springs. prolly almost 3 inches i can put the car down and touch the strut. will thanks crew.

hey this thread is long, so i didnt read it, but i am 99.99% sure that toms motorsports coilovers for 88-00 civic will fit. from everything i have seen they are the same as ground controls.
but they use 450lbs springs i think... or maybe 450/350
