Question should I go back to stock height?

As some of you know I got some progress springs for my car about a month ago and to be honest I hate them they make my car ride like a shoping cart and they are all bouncy as hell but It does look nice from the outside except for my messed up camber in the rear so I was just wondering if you guys know of any better springs that arent so damn harsh and maybe one that doesnt require a camber kit?. BTW I wonder if someone can tell me if my front shocks are blown ?

So now I will find someone to change me back to stock and be the tallest civic for a while. How much can I sell these 4 week old progress springs with like 800 miles on them?

Ive got some Neuspeed sports that have a 1.75, 1.5 drop. They are my fav. drop. I'll trade you springs if you want. Theyre already off my car, and just sitting in my garage w/ 9000 miles on em.

ok what if I get some new shocks like some koni yellowa will that solve the problem? but If it fixed the ride I wouldn't fix the camber huh? and all this suspension work will it void my warranty because my car is a lease and I dont want any proplems when I return it next year.

yea i'm pretty sure koni's will void the warranty... springs that don't drop as much such as h&r will fix the camber, they will also ride better because they're not as low as progress...

what you could do is put stock back in, then get your shocks replaced under warranty, if they're blown, then get h&r...

omg.. I didn't know your car was a lease.
I know this dood who leased like his suburban, and he had it all bling-blinged out. The three days before he returned his car was hard work...
You shouldn't waste your money on konis, etc. if it's a lease. Well, how long are you leasing it for?
Anyway, just get coilovers.... that should solve your problem.

if your shocks are blown then put back your stock springs then take it to honda and get it replaced. then just go with Neuspeed sports or race.
