Pro-Kit and GR-2's on EM2

Hey guys i have a 2002 Civic Lx coupe and the suspension is ablsolutly shot. The car has 135,000 miles and everything is original. I don't want to drop my car like crazy becase the NY roads near me suck, so i was thinking of going with Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, and KYB GR-2 Struts. I'm also going to get the rear camber kit. My question is have any of you had this set up and how did you like it? Also what else will i need besides the rear camber kit?

I liked that setup, and I rocked it during a winter in upstate NY when I was stationed up there.. Then I came across a deal on Tein SS-Ps I couldn't pass up.. But I digress

@OP, I've never rocked KYBs.. The choice of struts to put on EM2s with a subtle drop was always tokico blues

lol. Me either, but a hookup of $1250 shipped from so-cal to saratoga springs? Seeing as how they retail for $1510, yep, I had to hop on it. Plus, I sold my blues/s-tech setup for $350 to a buddy of mine that had an ES1 with a blown suspension, so it worked out

I'm done threadjacking

Re: Pro-Kit and GR-2's on EM2

I've Decieded to go with the Pro-Kit and tokico blues struts. I'm going to get the springs off of tire rack, but does anybody know where to get the struts for a good price. Also will i need camber kits for this setup, and if i do what is a good brand for the kit.

Re: Pro-Kit and GR-2's on EM2

^Best place to get blues is ebay, thats where I got mine and I have no complaints whatsoever. Yes, you should get a camber kit, ingalls and spc are both excellent brands.

Re: Pro-Kit and GR-2's on EM2

and just to let know, rear kits are enough - no need on the fronts.
and be careful when ordering shocks - 01-02 have smaller bolts, so don't buy for 03+
