Its all personal preference. For me, my civic is a daily driver. So my Eibach Sportlines(1.4" drop) with Koni's are perfect. I can get over speed bumps, still use a floor jack and with my tire/wheel size I eliminated most of the wheel gap.

Read this

And this

And look at pictures.

There is no best, there is just right, there just is what you want, what you can afford, and what you want to do with the car. Read the suspension tuning 101 in the Autox forum too. Educate yourself before you buy parts.

....skunk2/tein will sag
