slight drop

Yes, I am a noob. Please don't yell at me to search because that is what I have been doing for the last week. Respond if you would like to help me. The pic thread sticky is missing about 75% of the pics btw.

Now that we got that out of the way...like my sn implies, I have an '05 civic coupe. It is a VP on 17" enkies with 205/40. They look really tiny and it is bothering me. I want a slight drop, so it seems like eibach pro might be the way to go. I definately don't want more than 1.5", but I want better than stock handling. H&R sport w/konis also seems like a way to go, but that is probably the max drop I want. I appreciate all the help. Have a good day.

C'mon guys. If you want a subtle drop then the Pro-Kits are good. I love them on my coupe. For other examples, just in case you didn't find this, look here for Springs info. Then, if you didn't read thru this it will help with questions about shocks/struts.

Oh, and welcome to the site.

I new there would be a few honda guys in the group who wouldn't be *******s. Thanks. I saw the shock/strut link, but I could never find the spring link.

And for you other's who spend more time bashing noobs and yelling SEARCH, maybe you could offer some help every once in a while. For every good post, there are 10 "use the search function" posts. I am not new to forums, but I am new to Honda. The search function on this site is terrible anyways.

Bobsagator, thanks for the link. I may be PM'ing you later for some more useful information.

If you want a mild drop with daily driving feel, then prokit/stech/hr sport are fine. I suggest getting tokico blues rather than konis. Although Konis are the best you can buy, Blues are softer for daily driving whereas konis are going to be rougher.
