Rep Power: 0 my decision on my future setup
okie dokie im back!!! what was up with the site a few months ago?
anyways...
after browing around the suspension forum, i think ive decided on what i need to fulfill what i want.
i want: a mild drop with a stiffer ride than stock (not TOO much stiffer)
seems like i need: Eibach Pro-Kit springs with KYB shocks (correct me!)
concerns/questions: the whole spring settling issue. ive heard of people dropping on the prokits and then having them settle to a little bit short of 1.5in all around. its gonna happen huh (which is fine haha). also, the whole issue about bodyroll (yes i know swaybars affect this greatly), but with the above mentioned setup, is there going to be a dramamtic decrease in bodyroll or simply less? obviously the car is going to handle better, but to what degree? i also see some issues with 03+ civics (i have an '04 coupe) and some fitting of the shocks. gonna happen with the KYB's?
aite thanks!

Rep Power: 389 We can't tell you with what degree the handling will get better. What KYBs are you getting? You will need to drill the mount holes from 14mm to 16mm. I also suggest getting a camber kit.
