After im fully done with my swap and turbo...and after my paint im going to be lowering my car. Right now from the previous owner it has Eibach springs on i believe OEM struts. Its not lowered very much at all if any it looks, but the ride is pretty rough on anything over 45mph on a bumpy road. And mostly all roads up here suck.

I will be running 16'' rota Grid rims...no idea tire size yet probably something in the effect of a 205/45/16. Thats what I had on my integra and it was plenty, never bent a rim and the ride really didnt change that much as opposed to stock.

I was wondering whats a safe height to drop the hatch at? Should i look into full coilovers or mix and match a spring with a shock? I know alot of people are going to say search, and i came up with alot of strut MFG's but every one in those threads said to pick a spring and then pic a shock so they work together.

I would like my car lower, but not slammed. I wouldnt mind it having the front bumper about 3'' off the ground with my 99-00 front end and a SI lip.

So far, the only suggestion i got at honda-tech is 3'' lowered with full omni power coilovers.

keep the eibachs and get tokico illuminas or blues

I wouldnt IMO.

I have Suspension Techniques springs w/ a 2.3" F and 2" R and I love it. I would only get springs if i were you, not coilovers. If you were to get coilovers, the ONLY ones I would get are GC w/ koni yellows or illuminas.

what shocks should i aim for then?

That really depends on the type of springs you go with. I would go with springs, not coilovers (too rough on a hatchie) If your on a budget, and not going too low, KYB AGX's are nice, but WILL bottom out on anything lower than a 2" drop. If you have a little extra cash, I would definitely go with either Koni Yellows or Tokico Illuminas (White ones) Both are 5-way adjustable and give a great ride.

I would like to keep it under the $700-800 range...i saw some koni yellows for like $280 for front and $270 for rear...or the other way around.

If i go with them whats a good spring? Ill probably be dropping in the 2'' range, probably no more really.

H/R Race is about 1.75 to 2 in drop and somewhat stiff, sports if you don't want it so low and you want a more comfortable ride.

To be honest w/ you dude, I love my Suspension Techniques Springs. 2.3" F 2" R matched w/ koni yellows or for a tad bit cheaper you can get illuminas. Both are 5-way adjustable and have a great rep. Neuspeed has also had a good rep w/ Yellows, but im not sure of the drop.

That price sounds about right for Koni Yellows. The cheapest I have ever found them is for $505 shipped.

i was reading over on honda-tech and some one said that 2'' drop with the koni yellows is about its max. Guess thats not really true then huh?
