If you wanna drop it 1.75 to 2 inches, I highly doubt your car will ride like stock anymore.

goldline isnt a bad drop. it is stiffer and handles nicer, but isnt to bad. rides nice over most road surfaces but gets a little rough over rougher stuff, say every road in pa? i would recomend a camber kit though, atleast in the rear. i had slight cupping on my rear tires cause my camber was off, and i even had a camber kit

goldlines rule!! i actually wanted the bumpy ride but goldline proved me wrong cause they don't bounce at all. I have 215/40/18's and the gap ios about a finger gap maybe 2 and the ride is quite lovely!! Gold lines are a good choice!!

look at my ride for pics!!

I haven't had any unevenness problems with the Sportlines on my sedan. Then again, I don't got a heavy system in my trunk either. I guess take that into consideration when thinking about springs. Springs made especially for the sedans are higher in the back.

As for ride quality, I haven't been in another Civic with different lowering springs to compare. But I don't have any complaints about the Sportlines either. Hope that helped.

i believe there was a group buy going on for the spc camber kit. i got my eibach one form tirerack at cost, cause my buddy that owns a vw racing shop gets **** from there for cost. so i dunno bout the eibach, i think it is expensive though.

cryption should not be trusted
Go with ground control .... more expensive but ajustable and worth it for sure, and if you install a rear camber kit you'll get rubbing depending on how low you go, so you would have to curl your fenders (paint will chip easier) or just deal, you gotta sacrrafice and it really isn't that big of a deal.

Neuspeeds are going to be stiffer and i think bouncier. I have goldlines and i love them just enough drop. And i suggest you get a FRONT camber kit only about $25 bucks. Because you dont necessairly need it in the rear with that much drop. Your tires will last in the rear, but the front tires are a different story, ive allready had to change my front tires and my rear tires have plenty of tread left. Finally got my front camber bolts - from Circa-X.com


Oh yea and i got my Goldlines from Rob at www.tornactive.com
