"best" and "lowest" are two completely different things. The "best" are engineered to improve handling, which usually involves a 1 1/2 to 2 inch drop. The "lowest" are simply made to drop the car, generally with no intent to improve handling. If you want low, just look around for the lowest overall drop.

you don't want coilovers? with coils you could drop up to 4 inches...i had my EK dropped 3 inches, it looked good but handled like crap. if you insist to stick with springs, i believe that neuspeed had a drop of 2 inches, my buddy had that on his eg hatch and it was LOW. i think thats the max you could get outta springs alone.

I think some company makes 3" drop springs for EGs.
But if you just want to go low why not get some $100 ebay special coil over sleeves.

Do they still have "Sprint" springs around. I remember those would lower civics about 3" or 3.25".

But if they're not available, I think the next lowest would be H&R springs.
