Ground Control Coilover Kit for Honda Civic 2001
Height Reduction Range - 0"-2.5", Include bump stops.
Note: This Kit will only fit Stock, Sachs, Boge Shocks.
Ground Control Adjustable Coilover Kits allows you the option to customize the ride height of your vehicle.

Simply lift the corner(s) to be adjusted and spin the adjuster up or down to raise or lower the vehicle. Ground Control spring kits are designed to be used with either stock or aftermarket shocks.
All height adjustable kits feature Eibach Springs. These high quality springs offer a lifetime warranty against defects. All adjusters consist of a threaded sleeve and adjustable spring seat and are made using 6061 aluminum, anodized for greater durability and appearance. All other adapter hardware is machined from the same high strength 6061 T-6 aluminum.
Note: This Kit will only fit Stock, Sachs, Boge Shocks.
Tech note: For the Front, trimming of stock spring seat allows added range of adjustment

anyways i got those coilvers...the ground control ones that your speaking of and i love em....even though there only sleeved coilvers i still love em.....they cause me no problems besides blowing the shocks but oh well....it's all apart of preferences.....alot of people here bitch and moan about the smooth ride but if you ddon't mind a little bounciness i would get the ground control coilvers....they were worth every penny in my book
but if moneys not tight get Hayames man.

...people say my ride is still smooth for sleeved coilvers because when i take em for a ride they get shocked to find out im on stock shocks with sleeved coilvers...and no it's not hard to raise or lower....pretty damm easy i must say myself and im no Mr.Mechanic hahahaa but i do know my way around the car though. 
oh yea and since you got Grad money...well depending on how much i would get Hayames personally from what i hear and a Camber kit.

Rep Power: 0 i like the jdm look as well but i am afraid i will mess up my headlights. i am always so unsure about suspension because it is real technical and important. i feel like i am skimping and i cant afford the real stuff.
I would just get true coilovers. You get these sleeved ones for 300 bucks and eventaully your shocks will go, when your shocks go you'll need new shocks and they will runs like 400-500 bucks so now you're in for like 800 bucks. If you cant install this stuff yourself thats another 200 bucks so your up to about a grand.
Might as well get true coils..... thats what i decided to do.

WHOA WHOA WHOA people people calm down seriously though!! It's not like the car is gonna catch air on the freewat LMAO no no no no nothing like that...i have done well over 125 on the freeway with blown shocks and believe me there's nothing to worry about...unless you hit a 5 inch curb then worry hahahaha....you will be fine. Trust me. I've ridden on blown shocks for years with my other cars....no worries.
Even on the street i have hit big bumps and the worse that happens really is you feel a nice little "BUMP" and the box in the back moves.

well since your worried about it and don't seem to know to much on suspension im gonna tell you just go with Eibach man. your not gonna be slammed but that should takethe ants out your pants....
edit: but when i got Eibach i was pissed because it wasn't low enough( it really isn't ) personally springs are a waste to me.
If you're gonna spend money on this stuff do it right. Thats how I look at things when I do something to my car. I already made a huge mistake by trying to save some money with my rims for example. Its up to you really..... but make sure you dont regret it later.

I have Ground Control no problems...no extra money spent....i dont plan on giving up my ground controls until my car falls on the ground (being funny here).

LMAO=Laughing My *** Off.
but yea go with the little stuff till your ready to mess with more of the bigger stuff..but seriously the internet is your friend...and IM NOT BEING FUNNY. i learned quite alot by searching around and stuff not just this site but other sites as well just to get different reviews on things....and most of the choices i've made have been the best ones yet...like with my Tires....I didn't know if i should get Falken Ziex 512's and i just looked around for reviews and this and that and then i just stepped up to the plate and bought them cause i got them for a good price as well......and i think these are the best tires i could of possibly got!
