lowering my ride

i know everyone is gonna flame on me for this and say search but ther is just 2 much info and i just want an answer just even one word saying which springs.

gonna lower my car can you just tell me what u think is best i want springs and not coilovers, search turns up 2 much info and i just want your opinion ? i dont have that much to spend do i have to change shocks ? i already have all strut bars just wanna lower like 1.5-2inches because my low profile make the car look lowered already car only has 20,000 miles on stock wheels not gonna get rims maybe 15,16s down the road im all into speed, will i need a camber kit for this drop ?

depends how much you drop. i would suggest you to buy rear camber kit if you are lowreing more than 1.75+ . anyways you could just get springs for now then upgrade shocks later. you will have to get aftermarket shocks eventually. you dont need strut bars at all for lowring.

hows comes you only mentioned rear camber kit ? wont i need the front aswell ? so how about if im lowering not more than 1.5 ? will the inside of my tires wear ? the car is low already everybody thinks i lowered it even when i go 2 change my oil at honda they ask because i put some low profile 50 series tires on it

All you have to do is read, read, read. Why do you want us to repeat all the information we have repeated a million times?? Look in the suspension forum and look at the FAQ in my signature. Read everything you can! Read all the stuff from Zzyzx and Vnlilman also.

Thats how you get every veiwpoint and opinion in one though, is read everything everybody has to say about something. You are better off taking your time and reading so you don't waste your money or regret doing something.

get h&r, tein, neuspeed or the such. I've heard okay things about the goldlines too. DO NOT GET PROGRESS!! They sag huge in the back, it looks like sh*t. You will most likely need a camber kit to reduce tire wear in the back, but it's not bad in the front.
