HOW LOW TO GO??

Okay guys I wanna lower my car(2001 Civic EX coupe) I how should I drop it? I want it to be a noticable drop but not to low where it will Fu*k up my car. Also, another BIG question, what brand of springs should I get? I heard Eibach is no good. So any help would be appreciated.

depends what kind of roads you have in your area. generally a good guess would be 1.75 front, 1.5 rear - a lot of springs do this amount - goldline, eibach sportline, neuspeed sport

ya 1.75" is noticeable to most people. 1.3" however, i think looks almost stock. if your like me and like the slammed look, go with atleast a 2" drop. also keep in mind shocks and camber kit. read the suspension faq, it will answer alot of questions. brand, i always recommend neuspeed. best bang for the buck, also has a nice even drop. goldlines are cheap to but i dont like the drop. eibach imo are overrated and overpriced.
oh and your from culver city?

i had a intrax 2in i liked it but it was to low for me because all the driveways around here are angled to much i drug on everything. i got eibach prokit 1 in and it is fine but wish it was a little lower should have got sportlines 1.5 in. i would go with those.
