gettin coilovers... heres why...

so i plan on ordering a camber kit and adj springs .. which should i go for? I was leaning on V sPECS OR SKunk2... but the SKUNK2's only fit coupes? any sugestions on which ones to buy?

reason being for the purchase of coilovers is that i have eibach sportlines and i cant adjust the rear tires without cuting the fenders... Anyone else have this problem with a sedan? well either way im getting the coilovers and raising the back a lil and lowering the front alil too..

ps Jetta F.S. ..LOW LOW...

No, If you are getting Sleeved coilovers then the ones you need to get are Ground Controls. They are the best sleeved coils on the market. They come with Eibach springs.

thats why i dont recommend eibachs on sedans.. i only recommend neuspeed sports for sedans..

ya ground controls come with specially designed eibach springs

good luck finding it for under $300. it runs about that much.. along with skunk2s.. other sleeved coilovers i wouldnt even recommend.

Guy said it was for a 4dr.....and from the looks of it on my car....it's definitely not for a 4dr cuz its lower in the rear then the front due to the higher weight of the Civic 4drs. The guy said he made a mistake and said it was for a coupe...
