when I had skunk2's on my accord, they were ****ing horrible. They were SOOO damn bouncy. I don't know if they are any different for the civics, but I seriously wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

If you're dropping 3" you want to get a camber kit too like Ingalls ( :thumbup: ) or Progress are both good. otherwise your tires are ****ed. Yeah you want an alignment too.

I don't think Tokicos are going to handle a 3" drop on coilovers very well.

i've got a set of AGX's and a cheaper set of coilovers. i'm only planning on doing a 1.7" or 1.8" drop all around and doing the rear camber washer trick. after getting an alignment i should be good for tire ware correct?

Progress isn't adjustable. h:
Not a great idea...

I run Skunk2 every day... I have nothing but good things to day.

Hey how is it going everybody I have a couple questions. By the way I want to lower my ride as low as to close the gap.
Are coilovers recommended to new generations?
Should I put lowering springs or coilover for my 04?
Are Eibach lowering springs good? Why? What brand is better?
How much should I pay for coilovers installed? Lowering Springs installed?
Thanks everybody......
