Ok, ive been planning on buying struts to raise my car up some... N1 rides low, im on eibach sportlines w/ stock struts... on smooth pavement its fine, rides ok, when you hit a bump you know it...

Now, what i just found out, a girl down the road from me is selling a set a Shu-4's with brand new falken tires for 700 bux, (i might offer her 650 she what she says)...

their 17's and they would raise my car up the way i want no question.

Think i should get the shu-4's? Or go ahead and get the a/f gauge/pod/struts.

hmmm...are your shocks pretty much dead?

Cause I want Shu's, so I would go Shu's if they are not completly dead.

plus $650-700 is a pretty good deal if they are mint..I would jump all over that like

I just sold my rims and I need shocks bad, I practically bottom out on smooth roads

So in my situation I'm getting shocks first then my rims in spring

ya, i dont bottom out at all. The biggest thing that is in the factor of my ride is im on stock rims, with 205 55 tires... really small. so im even lower.

On smoother pavements the ride quality is fine for me... the biggest deal for me was my gf. She rides with me every day to ODU cuse her car is a POS.. like... scary to ride in..but yesterday she bought a 98 civic ex coupe... so no worries anymore, she can drive me =]

cuse its my car =] (i was just trying to be nice and get some struts to lesson the bounce for her... im a sap

)

The LARGEST factor is that im trying to get the car lifted like a 1" or so... N1 piping is looooooooow...

thx =] i gotta look at the rims.. if their mint im buying em prolly...

Im selling my 17" rims for 600ish right now. Gonna use that money hehe

oh ya.. and ive wanted shu's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD heh.. i love those rims..

TheGreatOne · 11-21-2001, 07:19 AM

Yeah, those rims are badass..definately get them if they are mint...

Hehe, my girl complains about my ride..too bumpy

So you have the N1, I have to ask...does it rattle your skeleton?

I want something really mean sounding and deep...need to get rid of my universal set up

ya, i read in your other post and i said i need to record it one day =]

Its awesome sounding. Strikes fear in the hearts of civics.

Ya, my gf hates my ride =] she loves looking at it, but hates riding in it. hehe SUCH is life
