  1. 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 :-)

  2. 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 :-)

  3. 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.

  4. Thanks everyone! :-)

     

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

    And some minor details. I´am on a tight budget :-( are trying to fabricate all parts my self :-P 

     

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