Can anyone recommend a full new sport suspension kit I could buy.
I don't want to lower and I don't want an air system or adjustable system.
Just want the ride to be tight, quiet, and to preform well on rough roads.
I guess it could be adjustable if that gives me a better ride.
I drive a 2001 Civic DX sedan.
Thanks

I'm personally looking at a set of Tokico HP struts/shocks (aka "Tokico Blues") and Eibach Pro springs for a modest 1" or so drop. Since you don't want to lower your car, I hear the Tokicos are still good with stock springs. Just look around; there are a lot of people here who want what you want!

That depends on who you talk to. Here's a suspension sticky:

He recommends a camber kit, especially for drops over 1.25''.

to keep at stock height, best choice to firm up suspension is to change to tokico blues.
Second is to use adjustable height ones and set them at stock height (some have shortened bodies and might not reach stock height) but they should have stiffer springs and shocks that can handle springs. Anything below 800 bucks might not be a good choice...
3rd would be use slight lowering springs like the eibachs, paired with a good shock (tokico blues, Koni's)
18" - need keep tire OD or else it will rob torque. so, larger wheels will require shorter sidewalls. not a good combination for comfort. will not look too good without some lowering.
