I have Eibach Pro-Kit springs, and I highly recommend them. They did not lower my car too much (1.5 inches in the front and 1.3 inches in the rear), and they are not too stiff.

 

What about a daily driver on the highway? (with oem struts and about 1.6" drop springs?)

 

depends on how smooth your highways run.

Around here, they're kinda up-and-down, so sometimes the ride gets a little bouncy. Its nothing if you have your seat belt on (like you should). Especially up front. In back, people always complain about it being a little bumpy (I think a few people have hit their heads on the ceiling :chuckles: )

but its not that bad, really. not for me, anyways

 

I currently roll on Neuspeed springs which have dropped me aroung 1.5" or so. I also am on stock shocks as well and have had no problems. The Neuspeeds are a great spring for a reasonable price.:thumbup: I for sure would recomend them.

 

me too.. they are a nice ride...

 

if you have a 7th gen civic you might be in trouble.

apparently they have very weak shocks.

my friend has a 2001 civic ex coupe. he got eibach sportlines installed on his stock struts with a camber kit and in a matter of weeks his ride went to hell.
on EIBACH springs he can't ride more than 4 people in the car without bouncing them to death. . .. he is in dire need of high performance shocks


however i THINK honda firmed up the damping as much as 30% for their 2002 models so you MIGHT be ok for awhile. i'm just telling you my experiences with the 7th gen

 

ull eventually want new struts tho probobly

 

H&R sports

Got them on mine and it rides almost stock.

 

I'm probably going to get the H&R sports also, do you have stock struts?

 

On my civic, do you need a spring compressor, or do you just slide the old spring out and put the new one in?
