Tein H.Tech or Eibach Pro-Kit springs would give a nice slight drop in the 1 inch range, if your struts are getting older then you might want to consider upgrading to tokico hp struts as well.

Ok Ill get them then , I only got 84k on the body you think I need the shocks?

You'll likely need to replace them soon, so I would get the struts now to save install time and on the cost of a second alignment. Ebay is the least expensive place to buy tokico hp struts in my experience.

Civic buddy says one inch drop is not enough...and skunk is better ....chime in please

Skunk2 has one of the worst reputations of any suspension manufacturer on the market, they've earned the nickname "junk2".

You could go with 1.5 inch lowering springs, like Eibach Sportlines, Tein S.Tech or H&R springs if you want to go lower. Once you cross the 1.5 inch threshold lowering a car becomes more complicated and much more expensive.

So a 1 inch drop is efficient visual noticeable ? I think it's a enough of a drop but can't say for sure having no experience in this world.

So i guess the question now is 1 inch drop or 1.5

whats your opinion on
Eibach Springs Anti Roll Bars worth the $250 bucks?

 
Rep Power: 285

A Progress, H&R, Hotchkiss or OEM RSX-S sway bar would definitely be worthwhile, but the eibach one isn't.

Bomber, props to you for having such patients. Hope u get repped. I would have taken out my blow torch.

Tein S tech + Tokiko shocks = Done deal

Complete 1.5" drop & noticeable

Skunk2 is only good if you go with their exhausts, their coilovers are rough as hell, and it feels like i break my spine riding in my buddy's GSR

Meh, I think my first thread was similar to this so I try to be nice.

Feel free to rep me!

like kenny said, can't go wrong with tein s-techs with tokico blues.. Eibach is good, too

here's what a 1.3"/1.4" F/R drop looks like (tein s-techs on tokico blues, to be exact)

Im going to go with the eibach sportlines , should I grab a camber kit for the rear?

 
Rep Power: 0

I'm thinking on the safe side....
SPC Alignment Components - EZ Arm XR

Part #: 67230

And
EZ CAM XR (16MM - PAIR) 81280

Yup, those sound good.

Getting a camber kit is definitely a good idea and will save you the expense of a second alignment later on if you do need one.

I hope you were picky as hell while shopping suspension on ebay. Back when I was shopping suspension, there were a lot of fakes floating around ebay.

If I remember correctly, with the sedan, it drops a little more in the back than what is listed for the coupe.

feel free to check back in when your products arrive; if they are in good shape and not knock offs I'd be interested to know which store sold 'em on eBay!

if all else fails, dezod.com and thmotorsports.com are good places to nab 'em
