Actually No...The ride is actually awesome. Hardly bouncy, as least bouncy you can get with coilovers. Only thing is that when i installed the rear, the allen bolts bolting to the strut wasnt long enough...just wrapped a strip of electrical tape until it was thick enough and screwed it down tight. Love it.

^^ yea when i first go my neuspeed race springs the ride quality was as good as stock, because the stock shocks were still new. However a year later, the ride qualty is drastically worse...

personally, i think eibach's are the most generic, cheap springs PERIOD. As for the issue of dropping your car, when choosing coilovers or drop springs, the ride quality will never be ultimate. The only way is to go with the full suspension setup. This is only temporary until i get the B&G Speed sensitive coilover suspension. Not EVERYBODY has the dough to drop on a thousand dollar suspension.

XTREME2K2CIVIC will become famous soon enough

Loose the rims.. I've always hated that design.... No projectors unless your going HID retrofit... if not just black out the stocks would look alot cleaner...
