I've checked the forums and found pics of the newer civics laying low.Now I'm tempted to lay out my '04 civic sedan.It's my daily driver but boring as it gets.What is actually needed to lay low without slicing up the body?Do you need cans,juice,or can you use bags?Any tips,advice,and pics of setups front and rear would be nice.Just want to know what I'm getting myself into.Thanks for any help in advance.

i have an 03 that drags pinch molding.

i've had bags, now i'm in the process of switching to juice. do it right and juice it the first time.

my front struts are modified, and my rear end is tubbed. aswell as the subframe being notched. theres a picture of it with a stock wheel and tire in my profile, (which was before i notched the subframe) it tucked 6" including tire. now that it's notched and juiced it's now on 18"s and is an inch from a lug nut.

Ya james I seen your car it was the first I looked at.And the one on ooak.com is badass.I'm not a huge fan of juice.I have a set of bags kickin' I was wondering if I can use them.I had a buddy that had juice on his civic hatch and the car isn't very straight anymore.Is there away to avoid that?It's a daily right now,so I don't want to cut it up just yet.Just want it to sit low,yet able to get over speedbumps,crapy roads,and driveways easy.

if you decide juice.. pics of my front struts are in my profile, that'll get you an inch over the wheel on 18"s without cutting.

if you end up doing air.

use - www.universalair.com - strut bags for the front, and basic 2500lb bags in the rear, if you can, use conitech's cause they are small, that's what i had. build a bracket of the rear control arm, and a cup for the strut tower in the rear, easy shit, if you want i'll sell you my old cups cheap. haha. message me and let me know.
