3 options; 1: lowering springs + aftermarket shocks rated for drop| 2. Full coilovers like tein basic, ksport, megan, d2's, etc.....| 3. Coilover sleeve like Ground control, Skunk2, etc. + aftermarket shock like koni

I hope that made sense.

ronaldo.. been awhile.. lol

yeah he's right you have 3 options. If you want something aggressive and be able to control how high/low you are, coilovers are the best way to go, if you just want a nice drop but dont want to sacrifice your ride go with the Eibach Pro Kit (1-1.3" drop), and Tokico HP's (Blues), I'd also recommend with any lowering kits; the SPC Camber Kit. Optional would be the neuspeed upper strut brace

But yeah if you just wanna lower your ride and not sacrifice ride, Tokico HP and Eibach Pro Kit

Hey man, I've been around just haven't posted much. Civic just hit 130K running like a champ just burning some oil now but no biggy. As for as the OP, you can search for vendors like Truehonda, Dezod, Streetlevel performance, or good old ebay. There are many other vendors just keep searching.

If you want a real nice drop go with full coilovers. Now if you want a mild drop go with shocks n springs

I personally liked my Tokico blues with Tein s-tech springs.. gave it a nice subtle drop (1.2 front, 1.3 rear, if I remember correctly) and barely stiffer than stock ride

Then I droppped the money for my Tein Super Streets..

Supposedly kyb are OEM replacements so I wouldn't go lower than 1 - 1.3 inches to be on the safe side.
