So, I haven't been on the forum in a really long while, and it has been because of school, work, and the main cause is me getting another car. Giving it a long while to think about my car and truck, I have finally decided to lower the car and shift the build path from a lowered street truck to a light offroad/prerunner kind of build. So stay tuned ladies and gents for upcoming updates whenever I change/add onto the truck. Time to prepare for some off road fun. :th_woot:

I know my lowering kit will be for sale as soon as I get my stock suspension back on, as well as my roll pan eventually. However, all my build plans have been put on hold due to my "low and slow" car getting a hole in its oil pan.

Cue the "your car is too low then" statements hahahaha.

Surprisingly, I had thoughts on rallying the civic at one point. but, I figured RWD would be way more fun in off roading environments then FWD.
I have always thought of it this way:
FWD: Low and slow
RWD: Race car/Baja and Prerunning
AWD: Rally
4X4: Off Roading

Pretty much, AWD could go either rally or low and slow imo.

4x4 can either go offroading or low low. I love lowered 4x4's especially on full sizes.

[ryley911]

so the Civic is back up and running again..
Going for wheels for both vehicles as my next plan. 18s for the plan I have feel like they'd be too big for a "beefy" looking truck, granted, I will want to go higher in the future, but nowhere near in the close future haha. I am thinking some older stock Chevy wheels, or some pacer style steel wheels.
Once I have the wheels and tires, I am going to get 2 inch spacers for the front before I put the stock suspension on. Once I have everything together, the wheels and suspension will be thrown on. I am starting to get pretty stoked about this build...more than I originally thought haha.

Lifting is exciting, did you find the lift kit we were looking for earlier?

sadly, no. But, I figured 2 inches up front is a good place to start I think.
