    how low are you? what shocks are you using? the axle can hit the bottom of the strut, but im not sure if that would happen without running civic shocks. i would have to take a look at my car...

    maybe 2.5-3" not sure on how much the drop is since its coilovers. basically the mudflaps are about an 1" or so off the ground, so it pretty low, with stock rims.

    Dunno! Might want to raise it up a little maybe. See if the problem still exists.. If not, it might be the cv joints or something... I really have no idea.

    EDIT: And get an alignment soon too. Otherwise your tires are dead.
    Alas, no more 3gee. She was a wonderful car and will be missed..

    No more 92 hatch either! I go through cars too much.

    actually the car isnt very bouncy at all, it feels about the same as stock, except the bumper scrapes everywhere. and i think i over exagerated the mudflaps are about two inches of the ground.
