Tokico/Tein S.Tech

Well as some of you know I gave up on my power mod plans for the Civic. But instead I decided to focus on the Civic's suspension. To me the Civic's suspension is too soft. I'm use driving cars with stiffer suspension setups. My plan is dropping the car to at least 1.4in-1.7in all the way around. I'll be on the stock EX wheels for a while.

Here's what I plan on getting:
Tokico HP Shocks/Struts
Tein S. Tech Springs.
SPC Camber Kit

For those w/ Tein S. Tech's, I know from some reading that S. Tech's have a tendency to sag a little. Would removing the rear spare and not having passengers in the back(2dr cpe) reduce chances of the rear to sag? Or would it still sag eventually? What springs would you recommend besides the Tein's that would drop my car 1.4in-1.7in?

Teins are fine on a coupe. No real sag to speak of. Its when you put S. Techs on a sedan that you have to worry about sagging.

are you sure?
I saw some pics of s.techs on a coupe and i def. noticed some sag at the rear.

Sujak, do you have any updated pics of your car?
I'm really digging the drop. I just want to make sure they won't drop even more.

Sujak, cool! i'll be waiting for those

as for the Tein's,
well I found more pics of coupes w/ the rear sagging a lil' bit.
I don't think I'm going to be going with those.
Now it's Neuspeed Sports vs Eibach Pro-Kit. I saw a lot of good pics on these.

^Awesome drop. I was planning on buying S.Techs/SPC camber kit next week but after seeing yours, I may just go with the Neuspeed sports. I'm gonna ride my stock shocks till they blow. BTW, the front does look real low, I wanna avoid scrapage as much as possible.
