Lowering springs

Hi everyone.....yes, I'm a dreaded newbie and not a very knowledgeable one at that. That's why I'm here...to learn about my car and how to make it better. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone can tell me where to find lowering springs for my RSX? Any info will be greatly appreciated!!!

Awww...gay I just deleted my reply, hope it doesn't come up twice!

I'm adding to the questions:
1.) What's the difference between springs and coilovers?
2.) On that website..for the camber kits it says front/rear...do you need one for both front and rear? Or is it just one kit that goes on the front or the rear to correct the whole car?

This is why my name is TotalNewbie...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] Thanks for the help!

Springs give your car a predetermined drop depending on which springs you get. With coilovers you can manually adjust the height of the car which makes them so neat. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

You only need a chamber kit for the rear. Because the new Civic and Integra (RSX) have the MacPherson struts, a chamber kit isn't necessary. You can still get one, but there's no need to. EDIT: A chamber kit is really necessary if only you decide to drop the car more than 2 inches from it's original height.

Don't forget to get new shocks for your car after lowering it.
