I agree
Its fun being creative and succeed with the work you've done
if you are going to try this just go ahead and ask if you are wondering something
-
I hadn't seen them before I made them it was just an idea I had
The most positive thing is that it eliminates the need for shorter shocks when you lower your car
And the drive comfort isn't all messed up either
The civics are a perfect car for doing this because the shocks are not rotating like many other makes and models do and the springs isn't progressive
Have in mind that the tube must be big enough to fit the shocks bigger end
-
If you do a google search you can find some pictures of how its made
``Extended top hats Honda´´
I don't recommend lowering a MB3 more than 75-80 mm. my driveshafts and my upper whishbones is dangerously close to the frame.
But it works fine on daily basis for me
-
That is correct. The upper shock mount, but it is not moved it's extended. On the stock mountings the``tube´´ is 10mm high, I cut mine apart en welded a tube with the length of 75mm.
And then I shortened the springs.

I will take a photo later on to show you guys
a top hat is the upper shock mount
when i made mine i didn't know that you could buy a set

Thanks everyone!
No big plans for now but are thinking about some spacers and de tango the headlights.

Bought it as a cheap daily driver but have gotten real attached to it now
