Bout to work on my suspension.. just need advice..

Hey i'm bout to buy some springs OR coil-overs this weekend but was deciding on what i should get.. here's what i'm planning to do...stick with STOCK struts, i'm planning on BUYING springs or coil-overs..then getting camber kit within a month or 2, then getting struts LATER like about a year. so here's my choices i'm deciding on...

Tein LOWERING SPRINGS (NOT COIL OVERS)
GoldLine Springs
Skunk2 CoilOvers and/or Lowering Springs
DropZone Springs and/or CoilOvers


i got a 03 Civic, Just wanna get some opinions on what poeple think i should get and what would be best. I don't want anyone telling me to get ground controls or tein ss as i see in every other post. How much are GC anyway and where can i buy them? BUT I DO WANT TO STICK WITH THE STOCK STRUTS for now... so any advice/opinions are appreciated. thanks!

I would go with the goldlines for the reason that they are fairly inexpensive (around 100-130 shipped), Good quality, ride hieght is good but not to low, ride is almost as good as stock, they might not even need a camber kit, and your stock struts will last for a while with them.

HYPR DRV will become famous soon enough
Ebay, FS Threads on this site, or Shox.com. Those are my Top 3. But other peeps might have better ideas.
