Default Lowering Springs?

I want to invest in a adjustable set of lowering springs if I have the cash after my taxes, I was looking on ebay and found a set for 60+s&h. They are EG coilover adjustable set with all parts for the install and the tool to adjust them. It says you can use them with your stock shocks. But recomends you buy theres. I wanted to know what else I would have to do befor I lower my car? Its a 94 Civic EX. I was thinking about my camber? I just want to know what else I have to do, or what I have to buy so I dont mess anything up?

dont buy them, you get what you pay for. Get some Ground Control coilovers or SKunk2 coilovers. Since you most likely are going to dump it, get shocks also, kyb/agx's are perfect

I'm gonna agree 100% with that post.

When i first lowered, i went with cheaper springs... bi gmistake


do it right the first time, ground controls, and replace your shocks too, adjustable ones, like the KYB - AGX's or illuminas, or koni yellows.

Id say that springs is what your looking at than,
H&R Sports with KYB's would be nice
or if you want a little less of a drop,
Eibach Pro kit's with kybs

isn't a spring/coilover, its an addition to such.


other other two are the same thing, both ground control kits, so wherever between the two of them.

check out www.groupbuycenter.com for the ground control coilovers, and for shocks.

My brother had Neuspeed Sport springs with only stock shocks on his 2000 Civic Si and I found the handling to be really good and not very bumpy at all. Imagine using aftermarket shocks, the ride handling would be much better. I'll probably be getting Neuspeeds as well though most people don't mention this brand. I guess people only recommend Ground Controls cause they've used them but I insist on Neuspeed Sports as I've had experience with them and on stock shocks too. They are priced really good too if you don't have that much cash. They are not cheap but not expensive either, they're slightly less than Eiabachs pro kit.

If you lower your car just for street use and do not need the adjustability of coilovers then save some money and get lowering springs with shocks. Lowering at around 1.4-1.75 with springs and shocks can be driven that way all year round without adjusting.

On www.Modacar.com, Eibach pro kit sell for $196 USD while Neuspeed Sports for $159.
