Wasnt there a post by Nerbert a while back about problems associated with lowering this model civic, where the sub-frame touches the axles when you lower it??

anyone have any personal experiences with the Tokico Coilover System :?:

red_dragon · Postby **red_dragon** » December 30th, 2009, 10:04 am

^ if you talking bout the Tokico RAK .. that is a waste

is basically illuminas with coilover sleeves

proper coilover do not use the spring to adjust the ride height those do
