Civic Coupe 2003
18 inch Racing Hart C5
Kaminari Full Lip kit

I want to lower my car but I drive a 100 miles a day. so a smooth ride is esential plus I dont want to spend my hard earned loot on tires and blown shocks.

What do you guys recommend probably the pro kit

another thing is does anyone know what setup the model civic for Kaminari is using.

Pro kit will only lower your car about 1". If that is enough for you then go for it. It won't ruin your stock shocks. If you want to go lower, get ground controls with konis or you can wait for the tokico's or kyb's to come out. There are some drops that are 1.5-1.75" but you will need konis eventually. You can always get a true coilover kit but those will run you about $1000-1600. that will replace your spring with a coilover and your shocks. Personally I want a 1.5-1.75" drop because that will be enough to improve handling but not affect my ride or scrap my car.

sKwiD is on a distinguished road
Neuspeed Sports... But yeah, I don't think your tires are 45's. I don't think that'll even fit.
