1st Post :) - Getting Started.

I bought the Eibach Sportlines for my 01 civic.

http://i.ebayimg.com/16/!BfWcOnwBGk~...-(FNw~~_12.JPG

Need some suggestions on what Shocks I should buy and what else i should get to lower my ride nicely.

these springs have a 1.4 inch drop...

i want more like oem sort of comfortable ride...im driving like at least 2-3 hrs everyday on main roads, some bumpy some normal etc...

ur opinion matters...thanks

p.s. Budget matters :P ...reasonable price thanks and place to find it...would be amazing...thanks

most of us have good luck with tokico blues, they are rated up to a 1.7 inch drop and will not blow out easily. ive had mine over 3 yrs on eibach prokit springs and no problem. it will not be as soft as stock, just firmer with less bounce. on rough roads youre gonna feel the bumps tho. dont forget the camber kit front/rear so you can align the car after everythings installed.

Re: 1st Post :) - Getting Started.

I just installed my Sportlines last weekend. Pretty easy install. Still need to pick me up some shocks tho. Thinking th blues as well. Funny thing, the instructions said trim the front bumpstops but not the rear. I don't remomeber any on the front( and if they were, they had plenty of space) but I did need to trim the rear.
