    EG front shocks

    vtec2011 posted a topic in Chassis

    Right, more questions on suspension The current suspension setup on my MB3 Front: 40mm EG lowering springs on MB shocks Rear: Standard EG springs on MB shocks Now as some of you may know, the rear end of my car is sitting lower than the front. So I would like to lower the front slightly. So I was wondering if front EG shocks are shorter than the MB shocks? If so, would it help lower the front end fitting lowering springs on EG shocks? Hope that makes sense, cheers people

    Ah I seen this car a few times on Facebook. It was going to get broken for parts a few times! I have to admit those green wheels were god awful... Good buy and good save mate
  3. vtec2011
    That is awesome! Even though it's not my sort of style but still looks cool My MB3 use to have the face down a55 up stance

    Wheels look spot on, love it!

    Good news on the MOT! Shame about the wheels but that shouldn't take much to buffen them up again. Glad I'm not the only one who likes 14" wheels on Civic's. I got 14" Speedlines on my MB3 and think they look perfect Any photos of your MA8 on those Compomotive CXN honeycombs?

    They're probably only going to be on for a few weeks at the most, depending how I get on with them

    "Low..... ri..... derrrr..... drives a little slower..." Looks loads better mate

    Cheers I will be more prepared next time. Most people who sells are usually good as gold but I obviously spoke to the wrong people... Turning up on unicycles and Tom there with his drill Ah yeah I forgot Hubert used sleeves. Right, they're going on this week

    Rover MBv6?

    I absolutely love that oldskool 4g! The colour, wheels and everything looked soo damn good! As for your MGZS, again it looks spot on lowered with those wheels. What are they? BBS's?

    Cheers Stephen! Not sure if I like the new one or the old one!

    Ah I comment on this on Facebook Welcome to Civic5! Really nice looking MB3, sits beautiful on those wheels
  14. vtec2011
    haha what Nick said
  15. vtec2011
    She looks the part and looking very smart on those wheels

    Wow that came up nice with a glimpse of Pirates Black Do I see an MA Civic in the reflection?
  17. vtec2011
    Oh wow they came up nice! I will be using lacquer on my wheels

    ^^What Adam said! You can use 40mm springs on standard MB shocks but the MGZS shocks are far better. I didn't know Euro Car parts sell lowering springs for our M's though!! http://www.eurocarparts.com/lowering-spring

    Apparently those 170 quid coilovers are quite good. I member on here (Fyfie5) has them on his MB2 for a good few years without any problems. Yeah I learned the hard way. But then it would've only cost me £60 if I didn't buy those sleeves Yeah that is my main worry. I hope bottom of the spring sits on the sleeve adjuster and hope it fits too! I will give it a go this week
  20. vtec2011
    haha yer that's true. Cost me 40 quid for the EG 40mm Cobra springs, 40 quid for the sh!tty sleeves and 20 quid for the rear standard EG springs. So it's costing me £100 for used parts which are not quite working for me yet. I could of just bought myself 40mm lowering springs which are specially made for a MB for £120 brand new!
  21. vtec2011
    Umm... yeah you're probably better off spending a few extra £££ coilovers. But because I cannot afford coilovers at the moment, I decided to go for lowering springs for cheap option. But obviously it's been nothing but a complete c0ck up for me
  22. vtec2011
    Sleeves can cause a bouncy ride depending how low you have set and more than likely blow the shocks. If you're going to use coilover sleeves, the best thing to do is use aftermarket shocks / dampers / struts (whatever you want to call them) Another thing, the coils which comes with the sleeves are very short which is the main reason why it destroys the shocks. That is why I will be using EG lowering springs on sleeves because they're longer and a lot stiffer That's the theory anyway. I just hope the EG lowering springs fit flush on the sleeves
  23. vtec2011
    What you mean? What are the cons of using sleeves?
  24. vtec2011
    Got a pic of the sleeves and shocks. They look pretty rough but I will be removing these springs and fit the EG lowering springs. See how they hold You will have to excuse the messy boot... Better photos on how the Civic is sitting

    Nice! My oleman use to have a MK1 Bandit 600. You can throw that thing into the corners! He's now got a Yamaha XJ1200
