Best springs for a sedan

I'm having a bit of a problem getting springs for my sedan. It seems from a little research I did here on the site that most drop springs are made for the coupe. Now they fit the sedan but are lower in the back than in the front. I dont want that, infact I hate that! Its a must that the car sits even or better yet a little higher in the back. I was thinking of Neuspeed Sports as almost the only thing that would work. Or I could just spend the $600 on Tein basic but I really dont want to because I already have aftermarket shocks. Thanks for any help guys.

If you can find tein basic for $600, let us know. As far as I know it isn't going for cheaper than $900! Neuspeed should be just fine. They are good springs. And I am assuming you have konis because those are the only shocks out for the new civic? There are other options, but neuspeeds will work great. How low do you want to go?

Well on my board PreludeOnline.com we have a group buy going for $640 shipped for the Tein Basic. That goes for any Honda that the Basic system is made for. Let me know if I can help, if you guys have 5 or more people then I'm sure we could make it happen for $600 or so.

Oh and I just thought I should add that I got my Tein SS that I have on my prelude from TurboEvo who is a great guy. As far as how low I want my girls civic...ah not too low. It has to be a daily driver so anything more than 2" would be too much.

I got Eibach Sportlines on my sedan and I don't see a problem with the rear sitting lower than the front. My rear is actually a bit higher, but then I don't have a heavy system in my trunk either. If you get Konis and the rear ends up to be sitting a bit lower, just put the Konis on the higher setting to compensate for it.
