Rep Power: 393 i dont think neuspeed coilovers are out yet. and even if they were i think they only make true coilover kits. skunks are sleeved coilovers and not true coilovers. they're in a different league so its hard to compare..
if you dont know, difference between sleeved/true coilovers are...
true coilovers come with a shock thats designed to work with the coilover. sometimes it comes with an adjustable damper. sleeved coilovers require you to have your own shocks(whether it be koni's or stock). sleeved coilovers ~$100-$300. true coilovers ~$800-$1600

Rep Power: 0 ok, well since the neuspeed isnt out then, ill have to pick b/t eibach and skunk 2. i dont want shocks with my springs, i want just the coilovers to put wiht my stock shocks. i heard that the eibach will lower the car only 1", i want my car lower than that, and i heard that skunk2 will lower it up to 3.5". should i just get skunk 2?

Well the eibach prokit springs will lower your car about 1". The sport lines are lower, around 1.5-1.75". Those are springs though, not coilovers. If you want to compare coilovers then you should be looking at Skunk2 and Ground Control. both are probably as good. May i ask why you don't want shocks? You will most likely blow your stock shocks within 6 months depending on your roads and driving conditions. but hey, go ahead and drop your car really low!

Rep Power: 393 uh so you want springs or coilovers?
eibach doesnt make coilovers. ground controls do, they use eibach springs in their coilovers...
and thats why your getting coilovers, so you can adjust the height. if 1" is too high and 3" is too low, adjust it to 2".... i think you need to read the suspension FAQ found here... http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...threadid=57985

Rep Power: 388 Seriously dude, eibach DOES NOT MAKE COILOVERS for our civic!! They make prokit springs that lower 1". Yes they do make them for the focus but not for the civic. You can call to find out if they are going to make them. GC uses Eibach springs on their coilovers. IT doesn't matter between skunk2 or ground control. Just pick one.

Rep Power: 0 dont get coilovers, if you want your ride to bounce like crazy. Eibach is a good spring manufacturer, they probably make the best ones on the market. If you want coilovers, get true coilovers like the ground control or Tein's. In my opinion Skunk2 sleeved coilovers suck .... big time

And vnlilman, it says on their site. I am not sure what they mean, if they are coilovers or not.
