I have a 99 ex coupe and I want to lower it, but i'm not sure how much. The Eibach Sportslines lower the car 1.8" front and rear while the Pro Kit lowers it 1.5" in the front and 1.3" in the rear. I want to lower my car, but I dont want to have the tires scraping or bottoming out...I do a mixture of types of driving, sometimes in bad road conditions...

what do you think I should go with? Has anyone done either the Sportslines or Pro Kit? (by the way, I have Kazera wheels: 205/45-16)


thanks

 

i got 205/40/17 and nuespeed race springs 2.25 front 2.5 rear and a body kit. I dont scratch or have tire rub.

 

I have the Pro Kit springs with Illumina's and they're great. You can check out how they look on my website: http://import-velocity.com

 

i'll be going with the pro kit next time i lower my car.

 

Actually, if I could do it over I would take the money that I spent on the Tokico Illumina's and Eibach Pro's then purchase a set of Tein coilovers.

 

i JUST did a kyb agx with eibach pro-kit. it looks sweet. i wasnt looking for a huge drop though. it hugs the tires so nice, just about an inch (maybe, if that) above and im runnin 205/55/15s. i did a b18 swap and suspension at the same time. ill be posting pics in the next day or two if youre interested.

 

i love my pro-kit

 

I installed a set of Sportlines on my '97 HX, and love the way it looks and drives (even on stock struts) on 205/40/17s. I keep meaning to post pics...I will at some point.

 

I just bought a 99 Civic EX 4dr and was also looking for a bit stiffer springs but not much drop. I found HR springs on Nopi.com for $158. They say they are a 3/4" drop. Has anyone used these and what struts would be a good match for sporty driving w/o losing too much in comfort? THanks.

 

luv my pro kit springs. Sometimes wish it was a bit lower, but they ride really nice. I recommend getting adjustable shocks, it really nice to be able to soften up the shocks for those long highway drives.

heres a pic, it looks much better in person too.
