Hey guys I deliver pizza in a pos 89 civic hatch. I want to lower the car about 2 inches any tips? I know it's bad/not good whatever. The car reaches 35 MPH tops.

Cut coils = bouncy bouncy! Get new springs.

I know but it's strictly a work car. Plus it's not worth anything anyway.

I cut the coils in my VW years ago. Hit a bump and one unseated and stabbed my tire.

Not worth it!

^Cracked me up.

That reminded me of when people drop Stingray bodies onto Blazers... I always feel conflicted. It's cool, but it's one less real Stingray out there.
