18 inch wheels on 72 super?

i emailed vdubcustoms about thier kit and have heard nothing from them i asked if they sold just the spring pearches and the rubber spring pads for people that have the honda coils already. I just started working on getting the springs on a set of struts and will post when i find out what parts work best i am also working on useing coils from a first gen mazda rx7. But so far by just putting the honda spring on the stock spring perch i think they will be just fine after i get the upper mount figured out so i can bolt them together.

I checked out their web site and have spoke to Lanner Kahn personally a while back. Now they seem to have a kit for $160 Can that includes the springs and both caps, including the top cap. Sounds like a deal, but before I make my decision, I will await your findings.

Thanks

well i finally got a response back from vdubcustoms but all they said was they think 98 civic coils are wider than older ones and have a stiffer spring rate and they didn't recommend i use them but i already had the car apart again and had them half way installed so i went ahead and put them on. well they are definatly stiffer.....as in almost no suspension travel at all. i think i will just order thier kit and call it done.

yes 18 x 7 wheels will fit. You will not need to use a spacer, but will definitely need a narrow strut.

Seeing as you are lowered 2.5", you will probably need to run a 215/35/18 or 205/40/18 (if they make this size).

Any thing wider or taller will probably rub.
