I have Tein S-Techs...bought them from EBAY for 130 shipped last summer....they settle around 1.5'' and are great springs overall...I would highly recommend them

i feel every bump in the road. to me, this means it rides like a low rider. I've had them for 6 years now and I'd say the suspension travel i've lost on bumpy roads may not justify the drop. on smooth roads the car is tight and responsive, but if I had it to do all over again I wouldn't have lowered it or not lowered it as much. i've always heard sportlines are NOT the way to go on a civic.

city streets are horrible. i didn't hear anyone mention a camber kit but I'm guessing everyone knows they will need one in the rear.

i will say this though, when you are running 120-130 down the interstate and the car just feels planted to the ground like it's on rails, that's when I really appreciate my springs.

Running 130mph on the interstate gets people killed. Seriously.



I wouldn't go with some no-name springs, the names that are out there are big for a reason. People have used their products because they work. Go with a good company like Tein or Eibach and you won't be disappointed.

Your feeling every bump on the road is more likely caused by your 18" wheels then your springs & dampers.

so i think im going to get the S-Techs

 
Rep Power: 247

do it! its wats best for u!

 
Rep Power: 475

neuspeed sports ftw

 
Rep Power: 249

S-techs will treat you real nice.

 
Rep Power: 237

yea i think they were like $150 or something but i found them on ebay new for $118

 
Rep Power: 475

s techs dont lower enough in my opinion, still gonna have like a two or more finger wheel gap since they lower 1.5

 
Rep Power: 237

1.5 not enough lol i havent bought anything yet but im looking at the neuspeeds now

 
Rep Power: 475

go with the sports and tokico blues, here is my car with them after about a year with them on, about a 1 finger gap or less all around

i would still suggest these. If you look you could probably find them a little cheaper.

alright so i went to go order my springs and a kid behind me was like yo your lowering your car i was like yea...so blah blah balh and then he was like dude you are going to blow your struts within a month my friend blew his in 3weeks and another in little over a month.

so im like huh alright. i havent heard much of this so will someone plz give me their input on this.

If you upgrade your struts, you won't have a problem. Some users (SLO REX) have, well, actually, were, dropped about 3" on stock struts with no apparent problems. It's all dependant on the car. Your ride won't be as smooth and you will run the risk of blowing them, yes, but that's not a prevalent issue on these cars. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

I know Tokico struts are a favorite for dropped users.

I have s-techs with stock shocks/struts for almost a year now and no problems yet. I agree with the point that was made about how it is dependent on the car.

Furthermore, my s - techs show about 1 and 1/2 finger gap all the way around and im rockin 205/40/17 tires... just fyi i guess...

stock struts are not ment to be lowered more than an inch. If you lower it 2 or 3 inches your struts will blow. just how long they will last, i dont know.
