KYB/H&R

I am planning on going with KYB AGX struts (for sure....free!!! )

But I cannot decide between H&R springs or the Eibach Pro Kit. I read the reviews here for the Eibach, but see nothing on the H&R. Another board seems to prefer the H&R, but what about you guys??

Both springs are great. I believe H&R drop the car lower than Eibach but either way, you can't go wrong with either one of them.

general rule of thumb is the lower the harsher, you could always go by that, i'll bet either are decent they're both well known brands

I'm actually gettin my H&R/AGX put in tomorrow after I get out of work. I used to have them on my 1995 Accord and I loved the way it drove. In my opinion, it's a very nice setup for the daily driving. The only thing is that the AGX only has 4 settings for our civics. I had 4 settings on the front and 8 on the rear of the Accord. I'll tell you how they are tomorrow night.

Let me know. I have the struts coming, and pretty sure at this point I'll go with the H&R springs.

H&R's are great springs I have had them on my car for almost 2 years now never a problem. Plus they didn't cost much at all. Good choice.

My thoughts on H&R/AGX . I think it's perfect for my daily driving. It has 4 settings on it. 1 being the softest and 4 being the firmest. I have front and rear set on 2. Great handling around the corners even with my stock EX wheels on for the winter. Pretty smooth ride around town. This is my third setup already in less than a year and by far is my favorite. The H&R/Koni were too stiff for daily driving. I never found a setting that I really did like. The B+G's are definately nice for coilovers but I thought they didn't take the corners the way I wanted to. They def. do ride fairly smooth for coilovers. However, the are still a little bit harsh. Installation went pretty smooth seeing that the B+G were just recently installed. Not sure what other answers you guys are looking for so just PM me.

so the agx is good then for daily driving/soft ride? My prokit is kinda harsh, but I like the drop and performance.

The AGX suits my daily driving perfect. It handles corners very nice and is also a comfortable ride around town for a dropped car. The H&R's drop it about 1.3". Not too sure how much it really settles down too though. I'll get pics up when its not like -4 degrees out.
