In order to bring this Honda Civic Coupe down to a respectable height we installed a 1 pump, 8 dump setup that will be able to handle front, back, side-to-side, and pancake the car. To begin this installation we first had to remove the stock strut and 2" drop spring (picture 1) that was installed in the car prior to the hydraulic set up. |
| After the front strut and drop spring is removed (picture 2, left) it will be replaced with a 6" cylinder, a 1/4 ton coil and an aluminum bushing (picture 2, right). |
