Civic EG

im just wondering, when i bought this car the seller said something about how my ride can go lower, when i got it home, i took a look at it and i cant seem to figure it out how to adjust it. can u adjust from the towers?? they are red too. im not sure about the rear suspension though.








was he lying to me or no? im not sure if they are stock or not this is my first honda.

any imput would be great

maybe the shocks are adjustable

if so, would be it the nuts on the towers and all i would have to do it screw it in clockwise to compress it more? i only want like an inch drop nothing major.

only the springs will adjust ride height

yeah it seems like you have diff shocks but, unless you have coil overs then you cant really adjust it.

that dude lied to you. sorry man.

damn. oh well i guess my next investment is some nice lowering springs.

or some nice coilovers

Coilovers, real lowering springs, or (which i really dont recommend) cutting or heating the stock springs.

I know shouldnt have mentioned it, but it gives an option for the owner to decide what he wants to do on his budget.

He may have meant they are adjustable ride (softer or firmer), but I can't see mixing that up with ride height so easily. If the ride was adjustable I'm sure there would be markings on the top of the strut, either a sticker or stamped in the metal.

And just for further reference, and maybe you already know this, but the holes on top of the threaded area you have circled are for an allen wrench which is used in the removal of the strut from the strut assembly. If you don't have access to a spring compressor you'll probably want to go to a shop to have your new springs put on for you when you get them.
A flying spring can really ruin someones day.

Yea there is actually a sticker on top of the strut. The sticker has numbers 1-4 in each quadrant , or side I don't kno how to explain. I always wonder what it meant. Does this mean its adjustable??by jus screwing it in more to compress it?? Sorry I'm a noob at suspensions I should take a closer pic of the strut tower then.

I appreciate everyones input

EDIT: and nah the seller brought up the subject twice about how "it can go lower". It was low when I bought it cuz back then it was sitting on steelies and two of them were flats so yea it was pretty slammed lol. But I trust him he seems honest I don't think he would wanna lie about it since the car was pretty much trash. So what he was lying saying it can go lower so I can be convince to buy it? Hell no, but then again he said he never touched the car when he bought it when he sold it to me. So I'm not sure about that one

that would probley be the damper adjustment
if would give you the adjustablity to make the shocks soft or hard.

take pics of it
