Once again... A SPRING Question!!!

Dudes, sorry about this post yet again on lowering springs-

But the deal is that in almost all cases (except for 2 sweet threads in the tech section) people speaking of springs and drops don't refer to what kind of ride they're pushing: the sedan or coupe.

In a fellow member's case, despite the identical shocks/ springs in both coupes and sedans, H&R springs were not meant to be installed on the sedan due to a discrepancy in weight.

Now, to all youz who know the deal on the sedan/ 1.7EL, what fit and ARE made for the 4dr civic/ 1.7EL? While I'm at it, prices? Any regrets/ suggestions?

I'm looking for a 1.5/1.75 drop onto stock 15-inchers and don't intend on adding a camber kit simultaneously, but will change shocks for sure within a year and a half. My ride's a 2k1 1.7EL manl.

Once again, I'm sorry for posting this pretty general lowering thread- it's just that not all of them other threads are model-specific.

Thanks in advance, dudes.

Peace

eibach sportline would give you what you want ...

h&r sport is $40-50 US cheaper than eibach's sportline ...

i have h&r sport springs ....... no complaints ... one of my car junkey friends told me to stick with h&r ..

Muchas gracias, hombres.

So pretty much I'm gonna stay away from H&R being that I'm pushing a sedan and start looking for some Neuspeeds or Eibachs.

Can anyone ballpark total cost of Eibach Sportlines?

Thanks Boohaha-2001-Nymbus for your responses!

Peace
