Coilovers and what else?

I want to lower my car but i'm not sure exactly how much so i figure i should go with coilovers and then adjust it to the height i like. What is the best brand? And of course where is a good place to get them. Also i've read that you should get a camber Kit? Can you guys recomend a brand for that too. And is there anything else i'll need?

Eibach is a good company for Springs. Ground Control coilovers come w/ them. Expect to pay around 300 for the coilovers and around 150 to have them installed.

eibach and ingalls are both respected for their camber kits and are about the same price. if you still have cash to burn, it would be a good idea to put on some koni performance struts while you are already getting the work done. you will need them sooner or later anyways with the coilovers.

Our Civic stock struts are not capable for lowered car, probably 1"-1.5" but if more, you're sturts will be blowing sooner or later. Koni is the only good availabe struts ryte now for our cars. Hopefully KB will come out soon too. Koni struts would cost about $550 from TornActive shipped for all 4. The Koni struts are capable of lower cars to give lowered car a firm or soft ryde, basically to adjust you bounciness. Hehhe. Just kidding. What type to get of struts or coil-overs? Well, struts Koni and coil-overs Ground Control. Good luck!
