Great review man! I just bought my D2 springs yesterday and I will be installing it at my buddy's shop on sunday in Riverside called Devious Customs. So excited!
Hi Chris! I installed these d2 springs on my 19' hatchback sport & had so many lights like parkin brake problem & through my Hondata it said a speed sensor code & all that happen but everythin was fine if I remember correctly. Did you? Or has anyone else experienced this?
@@cesarthebigshot56 sadly my issue had nothin to do with lowerin it. It was due to the sensor havin rust some how & I live in Florida soo... weird! But I got it changed out & it was all good, sorry couldn't help
Just buy a AWE exhaust sir Turing addition and a rv6 down pipe catted or catless you need this 90° O2 Spacer with catalytic converter for 2 Euro II metal catalytic is a defouler from eBay the order may take some time but awesomely works
Yo bro I know this video is old but that lip you had on at the time of this video where did you get it and will it fit on my coupe ? I can barely find stuff for the coupe it’s so annoying
Hey Chris love your videos , parents brought to my attention how lowering can fuck up my car etc, I have D2s 2 inch on my 21 hatch sport , have u had any issues in the long run?
These cars don't have adjustable camber from factory, so even an alignment won't get rid of the camber. But the camber created by these springs isn't a huge deal.
@@alexbarn3841 yeah I know i was just wondering if it was similar to the newer accord. I know we got adjustability up front but ended up getting an adjustable toe arm kit since my rear camber wasn't bad. Been several months for me and my tire wear is pretty even. That's a with a 2.0 in drop in the rear. Front is perfect 2inch as well. Yours looks really nice 👌🏼
Sup bro I just bought an exact same car as you... Iv’ed been searching for weeks now trying to figure out how the heck can I mirror my iPhone to my stereo unit... as I was searching I stumbled upon 2016 civics having an hdmi port... so why don’t our 2018 si have any hdmi port... but yeah I was wondering if u have any idea on how to mirror an iPhone to the unit?
Marc_wid_a_c hey man, I am not sure how to mirror your iPhone unless your using Apple car play. I haven’t done any research into it but if I come across anything I’ll send you a message!
Chris Lowpes Aiite koo thanks a lot bro hopefully u can find a way... apple car play is cool but I’m trying to play UA-cam and the only way u can do that is mirroring the phone...
Jesus Alvarado I didn’t install the springs as I don’t have a spring compressor. I’ve read it up it’s not hard but you’ll have to be careful as I read people rip their drive shaft boots.
Chris Lowpes ok bro thank you for the quick reply love the content man , where can I pick up the oem type R lip , I have the 2019 Si Sedan , you think it will fit ?
When I checkout the website for the d2 springs, they say they’re for every civic (not si), im looking to buy these for my FC1 si andnim wondering where you got yours?
Thinking of doing the exact same to my 18 Si sedan. Any rub at all? Also considering putting spacers to get a better fitment once it's lowered. Is that a good idea?
Jacob Martinez I have no rubbing even on my new set up which is 17x8+35 245/40/17. When spacing your tires out it all depends how much you space it but I personally never done it so I’m not sure exactly how much would be ideal.
@@ChrisLowpes alright cool thanks for the reply! I'm probably going to stick with stock wheels and tires until I'm able to find a pair of wheels that I like so I wanted to make sure there was no rubbing. also just out of curiosity because adding the lowering springs void warranty you think?
@@ChrisLowpes I'm about to get some eibach lowering springs for my 18 accord and it's 1.8 all around. Did you notice fast tire wear in the rear? Obviously different car but thought I'd ask lol. Nice car btw man🙌🏼
Hey man cool videos ! I’m thinking about buying d2 springs new 202 si i had a few questions did it ruin the drive-ability at all ? Did you need an alignment after ? Any tips ? Thanks
Edwin Argueta it rides a bit stiffer but not bad at all. You should always do an alignment when messing with your suspension. I’ve had mine for a while and I still love them!
I’ve been thinking about buying some d2s for my 2018 civic lx-p, but the turn off for me is I was told I would need a rear camber kit which is more money than the springs themselves. After reading that you don’t have a camber kit, could you tell me how often you have to replace your tires, or if there’s any uneven wear? Thanks!
Question - when your turning and if you hit a bump does it rub against the wheel well? And how are they holding up? Is it bouncy or stiff? I’m debating to get them.
Like the old intro way better. The music then having your girl interrupt you is funny AF. I know it's a now era but don't forget about the 8th gen. Peace
I look at it like this, the Eibach doesn't lower your car as much but its a closer to a stock ride. The D2 lowers your car more and it is a bit stiffer. Hope that helps!
Cool vid bro, I just think there’s a lot of cream on the taco. Need to get to the point a little more, you’re very detailed man but like I said, straight to the point pls.
You had me at I stopped using a MacBook, thank you, Jesus! Also, the springs are way to low. Seriously doesn't look right, raise it back up an inch and make it flush.

Thanks king
It's face review not a car review 😛
Thank you
99% of the time I’m in sport mode cause race car 🤣 ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
I feel you on the part of why you had a shop do it. I like the drop with some spring kits but the hastle off installing them yourself kinda kills it for me doing it. When I can pay someone about $150 to do it
Mumble in my area shops are charging me $390 to install springs. Is that too much?
@@jsonx1226 way to much. A shop with a lift could install them in 1.5 hr
@@Lkom24 I paid 350 for coil overs on an eclipse gsx back on 2003.
@@richardhowle8591 he said lowering springs which take half the time
@@Lkom24 idk about that one, you have to take it all out anyway, and you don’t need a spring compressor with coilovers
Also wondering, how often do you scrape the bumper, and is it visible from the front?
spring compressors are free to rent at autozone.. just saying.. ive done it before and have had zero issues using their rent tools
Luis Cheong we don’t have any auto zones in my area that I know of but thanks for the comment!
Did the springs last what ended up happening ???? I got d2 springs for my chrysler 300 before and they were terrible ! Lol went thru 3 pairs of struts
did u use stock sway bar endlink?
“99% always in sport mode...because racecar.” No better way to put it 👊🏻
Kyle Swist 100% agree
does sport mode use more fuel?
Great review man! I just bought my D2 springs yesterday and I will be installing it at my buddy's shop on sunday in Riverside called Devious Customs. So excited!
Justin Ebueng thank you! You’ll love them!
@@ChrisLowpes So i installed them last night with my buddy. The car looks amazing and feels more responsive.
Justin Ebueng I’m happy your enjoying them! I still love mine months later
Did you add camber kit?
Following
after installing these do you need an alignment?
10th gen si is dope AF! Ride height looks so much better.
Jer emy totally agree the drop changes the car!
Hi Chris! I installed these d2 springs on my 19' hatchback sport & had so many lights like parkin brake problem & through my Hondata it said a speed sensor code & all that happen but everythin was fine if I remember correctly. Did you? Or has anyone else experienced this?
I have never experienced anything like that. Try letting the car run a few cycles and if it still happens double check your speed sensors.
Chris Lowpes Will do!
I had this problem where you able to figure out on how to fix pls reply I’m struggling trying to find answers
@@cesarthebigshot56 sadly my issue had nothin to do with lowerin it. It was due to the sensor havin rust some how & I live in Florida soo... weird! But I got it changed out & it was all good, sorry couldn't help
want the springs with no camber 😢what can I do to have no camber new the scene
Edgar hey! Unfortunately the lower you go you’ll get camber. I’d suggest getting camber arms to adjust your camber! Hope that helps
Any noises just bought mine yesterday putting on civic hatchback
No noises, they been riding great for over 2 years
Did the same a few months ago and the D2 springs are amazing brother. Enjoy 🤙
I want the d2 but dont wanna rub...im thinking of eibach any comments ?
Is it a bit bouncy?
Just buy a AWE exhaust sir Turing addition and a rv6 down pipe catted or catless you need this 90° O2 Spacer with catalytic converter for 2 Euro II metal catalytic is a defouler from eBay the order may take some time but awesomely works
Do you still have this setup? If you do, how is it holding up.
Anthony koch yea I’ve had this set up for a while and it’s riding great still no complaints
Nice 👍 thanks bro
Anthony koch no problem!
Yo bro I know this video is old but that lip you had on at the time of this video where did you get it and will it fit on my coupe ? I can barely find stuff for the coupe it’s so annoying
Installed my d2 springs a couple months ago but got a knocking noise when going over any type of bump
Didn’t tighten down endlinks enough or you didn’t get the top hat bolt tight enough
Did you cut the bump stop in the strut?
Also heard that people have been pulling out axle during install any suggestions?
I personally didn’t install them so I couldn’t really tell you sorry
How you liking your si? Any performance mods done to it? I’m thinking of trading in my 18 focus st and the civic si is one of my top choices right now
Angel Garcia I’m loving the car and I’ve had just over a year! I have a front pipe and down pipe with an etune. I’m looking to make more power soon!
Could these springs go on the 2020 civic sport
You would have to double check on the website
Yes
Does it scrape
Not on the stock exhaust, I scrape on my invidia r400 exhaust
Hey man, considering these for mine. Any issues still on the stock shocks and struts?
I had them for about 3 years and drove it everyday through winters and all. Never had issues myself
I bought lowering springs on my 2004 Honda Accord I need cut 2 Inc off my front d2racing springs how much do I cut please let me know thanks you bro
I don’t recommend cutting any springs
@@ChrisLowpes why you say so?? It's my first time lowering a car
Its dangerous when you start cutting springs and mess with the design. If you want to go lower then the spring itself buy coilovers
@@ChrisLowpes ok thanks I appreciate it 🤙
did you hear and clunking noise the first couple days in the front?
No I didn’t
did you ever figure out the clunking noise? currently getting the same thing
Anthony yeah i did actually i had my springs replaced they were faulty springs
mikey fc3 wow ok thanks for replying!
Hey Chris love your videos , parents brought to my attention how lowering can fuck up my car etc, I have D2s 2 inch on my 21 hatch sport , have u had any issues in the long run?
I had 0 issues with mine and thank you for the love!
what the alignment specs for it
What is comfort mode there’s no such thing and I have the same car😕
D C comfort mode for me is just driving normally without being on sport
Ohhhhhh lol ok
Did you upgrade shocks or no and do you have problems if you haven’t changed them?
I didn’t upgrade the shocks. Lowering your car on stock shocks wears them faster but I’ve been fine for two years daily driving
Functionality for lowering compared to not lowering. Not worth scraping ...
Just installed these bad boys today. Do I gotta get an alignment?
I’d recommend it yes
I have a 09 accord coupe put lowering Springs have a lot of front end Clunking
Jojo Deleon Hard to tell what it is but sounds like your struts are worn out
How is going so far with the spring? I want to do mine. But I'm not sure. Let me know. Thanks
Honestly no complaints and I still have them
Did you ever align and did it help without having a rear camber kit?
These cars don't have adjustable camber from factory, so even an alignment won't get rid of the camber. But the camber created by these springs isn't a huge deal.
@@alexbarn3841 yeah I know i was just wondering if it was similar to the newer accord.

Did you need a alignment after install?
Austin Jones no I did not, car drives perfectly straight
At least get the front aligned. A bit of camber is expected in the rear. Keep on eye on tire wear.
King Kongam will do thanks for the advice!!
As time has pass do you still feel the same about them..thinking about getting them do the tires rubb at all
I still love them after all this time and nope I don’t rub at all.
Did you buy new rims and tires already for your car?specs of the tire?
Yes I have. I have a video with all the specs and shots of the set up
How much did the springs lower it? 1” or 1.5” I’m considering buying lowering springs for my 10th gen too
About 2”
So what other brands would you recommend that are more comfortable or better overall than the D2 springs
I heard the eibach pro kit is pretty good

Any rubbing when your turning?
so 2 questions, on a scale from 1-10 how hard was it to install, also after a while how much you like the set up since you installed it
Jesus Alvarado I didn’t install the springs as I don’t have a spring compressor. I’ve read it up it’s not hard but you’ll have to be careful as I read people rip their drive shaft boots.
how many inches did it drop it ?
JuniorTrades they say approximately 2 inches
Clean car bro , love the drop love the car , quick question , anyone know what lip he’s rocking or is it stock ? It looks aftermarket ?
Francisco Bedregal thanks bro! It’s an OEM Type R front lip, I have an install video on it. Check it out!
Chris Lowpes ok bro thank you for the quick reply love the content man , where can I pick up the oem type R lip , I have the 2019 Si Sedan , you think it will fit ?
Francisco Bedregal no problem and thank you!! I got it from www.garage16.ca and I’m not sure since the bumper is slightly different
Is it bit bouncy for you?
Cedie Purificacion to be honest it’s not bad, mines stiffer than stock
what effects do the lowering springs have on the adjustable dampeners?
Bryan Beckert as in wear and tare I’m not 100% as this chassis is new. The ride itself becomes stiffer
So if I install D2 suspension it will make my engine light come on? I want to lower mine, but not sure if i will have any problem
You will not have any problems or engine lights.
Did you have to buy shocks as well? Or did they work on the stock shocks ?
Bunky Izzy they work with stock shocks but do wear on them over time.
When I checkout the website for the d2 springs, they say they’re for every civic (not si), im looking to buy these for my FC1 si andnim wondering where you got yours?
Lewis Is KING I bought mine from garage16.ca
Chris Lowpes I’m from Canada too, on their website it says (not si) for some reason?
Lewis Is KING try contacting them through email or Instagram and he can advice you which ones to get!
I just bought them for my 35oz but im afraid its gonna scrape all over :( do you think I should put spring spacers on them?
fliegendenLowen I’m not sure exactly how low they would be on your 350Z but my height is perfect on my car.
Hey Chris wanted to ask you if you’ve had to swap out the stock struts at all?
Nope they are oem struts!
Chris Lowpes no wear ??
justice segat it’s still good and rides great. Eventually showering springs will always wear on stick struts
Chris Lowpes thanks a lot !
justice segat no problem!!
Will these mess up my factory shocks? Been debating if I should really get these
Any lowering springs on factory shocks put more wear on them but you should fine dude
Chris Lowpes are you still currently running on the springs still?
Jayy Siapno yes I am without issue
What are those glasses called?

Would you recommend d2 or eibach sport lines ??
I heard both are great, the D2 let the car sit lower. I’ve had the D2 for a couple years and they been great
Chris Lowpes hows it ride ?
Antonio Alegria it rides a little stiffer then sport mode but I’ve had 0 complaints even with winter driving it
Chris Lowpes thank you. I might just go with the d2 instead of the eibach save myself a Benjamin
Antonio Alegria I personally have had no issues so I’d say go for it!
What are the lowering specs of your springs? Is it 2 x 2?
D2 springs for these cars are 1.9" in the rear and 1.7" in the front.
@@Justin-fi7vf what’s the best fitment for these cars if I wanted to run 17’s and be flush??
what are you doing about your camber are you getting a camber kit??? tx a lot im getting the d2s aswell
Lachlan Rodger once I buy proper wheels I’ll be getting a camber kit!
Where did you get the headlights from? Looks awesome!
Giacomo Parrino im from Canada and the Canadian Si comes with it!
