Default Tein Lowering springs

Are these good lowering springs? Here is the description:
Tein S.Tech Lowering Springs (Part # SKA24-AUB00)
Fits all Civic 96-00
Front lowers 1.9"/ Rear lowers 1.7"
Eliminates most of the gap between the tire well and tire. Comes with a sound reducing rubber cover (most cars)
Brand new in the box, complete set (2 front, 2 rear)


They are on Ebay right now for $95 plus $30, Is that a good price? Does anyone have pics of that drop or one close to that? Post all the pics you can.

S.tech is a good spring but make sure they are true Tein springs and that is not a bad price I retail them out of my shop for 119.00

Tein is very good. the ride is a bit bumpy but thats the only downside.
you might want to consider some new shocks/struts cause your stock ones wont last long with those springs. I put some Stechs on my 98 civic, after a few months the ride hight is uneven and the wheels rub the fenders alot.

Coilovers are for performance, springs are for looks. Coilovers are better cause you can adjust them.

both will pretty much install the same...with springs you dont have adjust them, coilovers you can adjust the ride height to suit your taste or needs...it all depends on what you want to do...

false. depending on what type of coilovers or who makes them, cheap sleeve type coilovers will hurt your performance more than normal or stock springs.

yes...you can adjust coilovers, but how many people actually go corner weigh their cars? it is pointless when your car isnt handling correctly. ...therefore coilovers are for looks also.
