Coilovers
I was curious to know if people think its really worth getting coilovers if your not gunna replace the stock shocks and struts because i was looking into getting coilovers but i still want good ride quality so its not torcher to use as a daily driver. Let me know what you think

If you only replace the springs and not the OE shocks, your ride quality will suffer. Maybe not today or next week, but eventually. Lowering the car with only springs will blow the shocks. IMO...Do it right the first time. Save for a good set of full coilovers.

Koni sports with Ground Control coil over is also a good set up beside Tein. To save you time & money, just replace the shocks. The OE shocks will wear out a lot faster using a coil over or any aftermarket lowering springs.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the 2001-2003 Civic is using the 50mm OE struts & the 2004 & up is using the 55mm OE struts from the Acura RSX. I think that's the only difference. I'm not sure if there is anything else that's different though.
