It's no secret that almost everyone who modifies their Civic wants to lower it as well. The factory wheel gap usually looks pretty bad, and lowering your Civic can do wonders for the overall appearance and performance...but how do you go about lowering your Civic to exact height you want, whether it is just a little lower than factory or totally "slammed"? Simple, you get a set of D2 Racing RS Full Coilovers and install them! We show you how in this video.

D2 Racing RS Full Coilovers Features:
* Full-length adjustment and height adjustment for separate setting of the height and spring preload.
* 36 levels of damping force adjustment (compression and rebound together).
* High performance mono-tube design.
* Pillow-ball upper mounts with camber adjustment plate included on select applications (like this 2014 Civic Si one).
* Special anti-friction coated threading.
* 1 Year Limited Warranty (serviceable in the United States).
* Spring and damper rates engineered to work optimally together.

Fits:
The D2 Coilovers featured in this video is designed specifically for the 2014 Civic Si models. Many other applications are available.

Summary of Important Steps of the D2 Racing RS Coilovers Installation:

1. Preset the spring preload and height on the front coilovers (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  .

2. Remove the factory shocks and springs from the front (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  . You will need to remove small parts from the cowl in order to access the top mounts of the strut (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  . There will also be a few other misc. items to remove (like sway bar end links).

3. Apply some grease to the pillow-ball upper mounts (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  .

4. Install the D2 Coilovers on the front, making sure to tighten the top mount bolts first before you start putting the lower bolts and everything else back on (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  .

5. Take a quick break and learn how to adjust the ride height on the front coilovers (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  .

6. Remove the factory springs and shocks in the rear (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  . You will need to peel back small parts of the trunk liner to gain access to the tops of the rear shocks (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  .

7. Make some small cuts in factory spring isolators as instructed in the D2 manual (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  .

8. Install the isolators on the D2 springs and begin installation of the D2 rear coilover parts (   • D2 Racing RS Coilovers Install - Hond...  . Remember to first preset the springs and shocks to about the height you think will be correct to match the front. There is always some trial and error in this, and so you'll almost certainly need to adjust them later. Just remember that for the rear you will want about 1/3 of the shock shaft to be inside the shock body while the car is at rest (on the ground). This is recommended by D2 for the best overall ride quality and shock longevity.

9. Make sure to look everything over and verify that all bolts are nice and tight. Depending on how low you went, you may also want to get a rear camber kit and then an alignment done (this will ensure longer tire life and better handling).
