Rep Power: 0 Which coilover kit?
I found 2 kits off Crapslist. One is off a '09 Civic SI sedan, it's a Apexi coilover kit that was said to have 1,000 miles on it. The second is a more used Megan Racing coilover kit. The Apexi is $800. The Megan Racing is $400obo. Both are 3hrs away. Would the factory camber kit allow to align after doing a couple inch drop? Stock '06 SI coupe factory tire height possible drop of a couple inches.

Forgot to add this is my wife's car. I know that altering stances can and probably will cause loss of ride quality but I need one close to stock ride quality. I don't want her bouncing all the way to work. I just lowered my '95 Accord, before it was on air, now I'm redoing to cracked front towers lol. It sucks! I'll save and get a good kit unless the Megans ride good. My budget if saving up is $700-800. It doesn't get raced, just to work and back and family outings.

In that case, do not get Megans or Apexi, they both use high spring rates. If you can push your budget a bit Progress just recently released coilovers for 8th gens and they have an outstanding ride on the street, but they're $1k.
