perfect springs???

I wanted to get coilovers, but im thinking springs would be a better idea if i could just find the perfect height. What springs make the car sit with even wheel well gaps and a real small gap if any?? Leave links to pics and tell me if your rubbing or not. also, do i need a camber kit for front and back, and could i go without shocks for a while? thanks a lot, laters

Neuspeed sport springs.



You dont need a camber kit but it will make your rear tires last a little longer if you do get one. No rubbing because it only lowers your car 1.75 rear and 2.00 in the front. As far as shocks are concerned I would say that you should get them but it doesnt have to be right away. It will improve the handling and ride quality overall.

I have H and R springs on my car. The chasis dropped 1.75 on the front and 1.5 on the rear. I have 17 inch rims on the car. They do not rub. Whether the tires rub depends more on the offset of the rims than the springs. With no offset the tires will rub. As far as the camber kit is concerned you will never need one for the front on the new civics and lowewring the car 1.5 or 2 inches will not require a camber kit. That won't throw off you camber enough to worry about it. I have my springs on the stock shocks. It is okay to do that but putting replacement shocks would be a worth while investment. It will improve handeling and the factory shocks suck a$$ anyhow. I would post a link to the pics on the member's rides but they got deleted again. So if you want me to email you a pic let me know. Personally if I had the money I would buy the Tein Type Flex coilovers but that's just me.

H and R are the best springs I have ever had. I would have bought the Progress springs except they weren't out yet when i was looking and I couldn't find Sprint springs either.
