Fender Gap

i got an 03 Civic wit the 2k Si rims which are 15's. I wanted to know what spring i should get that would lower my car enough to cover my fender gap wit the same rims? I was thinkin bout Skunk2's, Sportlines, and the Tein springs(not coilover set). I really like the Skunks but is the ride really bouncy cuz i had sportlines b4 on my old car and it was smooth but Skunks have the lower drop. Thanks in advance for ur opinions. I just really am lookin for springs.

How about Neuspeed Springs. I think the drop is 1.8. I hear the Tien setup is very nice. It all depends on what you want to spend, and ride quality. For a stock smooth ride I would go with Eibach springs. You can use them on your stock struts, but I would recommend changing them for a better ride. Do a search, on this topic...There has been many posts about what struts and springs to go with. I just searched the word suspension and found at least 10 posts.

you want no gap... your going to have to atleast go with a 2" drop. i have neuspeed sports(similar drop to eibach sportlines), its a 1.75" drop had 1 1/2 finger gap with the stock tires.. doesnt sound like much but it is.. i would say go with neuspeed race but then with those i recommend a camber kit and new shocks. if you wait awhile the cup kit should come out by april, its a $600 setup, comes with both shock and springs. its also damper and height adjustable...
but ya if you dont want to spend anymore then $200, i personally like neuspeed sports cause they're more geared toward race, sportlines are ok but are over priced IMO. reason being cause of the camber kit and shocks... i drive my car pretty hard and i feel my shocks are starting to blow after 9 months of having my neuspeed sports.. i dont have a camber kit but it is recommended you get one still, if you get race its almost a must..
