Rep Power: 0 Next Purchase?
Hey you guys, I finally got my windows tinted and I am approaching finishing my Civic (Looks wise) but I want it dropped about an inch. I don't want nothing drastic because 1. the roads around here are horrible 2. i hate that look where the car is almost sitting on top of the wheels. So I've been looking around and I've asked before on here and I think I'm going to go with the Eibach Pro Kit Springs to lower it an inch front/rear. Good decision, bad? Any problems or anything with these springs..or just any other recommendations?
Thanks guys!
(I'll take pics soon :])

I have the pro kit and I didnt realize how sexy it looked until walking back to my car today getting dinner for my girl. I will say that even with the pro-kit I think I am still going to have to grab a camber kit before I bring it in for an alignment. Although...it doesn't feel like it needs one.

you always need camber kit because stock cant adjust lowered car. the alignment shop said they couldnt even align mine without one.

let me know who needs camber kits.
eibachs are good springs, but i would go a little lower if it was mine. Tein is about the next best as far as not a real drastic drop. I can get a hella deal on skunk2 springs. let me know if ya interested. Nice ride though as it is.
