Though keep in mind you might want to upgrade your rear endlinks - the big/stiff Progress bar has been known to break a few.

Will you kill yourself... No.
but the handling will change. I think it will make strange noise. Here is a pics of the endlink (it link the sway bar to the control arm.) Damn, I did not remember that the OEM sway was so small

Why regret it later on in the car's life? Besides this way you can jack the car upwards for winter so you aren't dropped as much. Though some coilovers are more prone to rusting in our great winter weather due to the threaded coils Registered!!

Though some coilovers are more prone to rusting in our great winter weather due to the threaded coils And a big plus is that the ride quality will be better. Don't make the same mistake twice ! That's why I am 4x4ing (like Karim used to say!), I am looking for a good suspension, but I have no money to invest. So I stay OEM, until one day... 
I don't know if you are a DIY type of guy, but I guess coilover should be easier to install than spring and shocks since they are already assembled?
Maybe you can save on the installation cost and just need a alignment??? There is a DIY for spring and shock on this site... I change the front strut assembly on the old 1990 Sonata of my mom last weekend and it was pretty easy (even for a old completely rusty Hyundai). If I look at that picture:
If they come mounted like this... it's a piece of cake!!!! (I guess...).

Rep Power: 0 Here is the DIY: http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...light=coilover
The part that I didn't like about it was the dissasembly of the shock/spring assembly, and to compress the spring when reinstalling... but with coilover damper problem is solved!

Rep Power: 0 Try sending a PM to FastSi on the CCQ web site. Is usually unbeatable with his prices from what I heard... He is located in 3-rivières, but he can ship.

It's tough to find abordable quality (and effective) parts for the 7th gen... imagine the 8thgen...
But, the engine is a K serie, it will help for the performance parts...

Rep Power: 294 Fack .. nice find. Worse case, don't pay for shipping and take an 8hr trip to go pick it up (probably one way at that, but still doable ) Especially being Tein SS .. almost feel like bidding to try and resell them later
Thanks for the pricing btw Pat. I'll get back to you if I decide to go that route - though still probably cheaper to get Majestic Honda to ship it to a US postal and pick it up
