Any will work, but an affordable brand name like the Eibach Sportlines (like 200 on Ebay) are really good springs and will work well for your money. who knows what can happen with cheap springs......

Can you post pics of your ride? I'd like to see what a minimal drop like 1.5 inches looks like. Thank you.

Re: best lowering kit to get for a 98 honda civic lx?

FYI-All struts are gas filled, it's to help prevent the oil from foaming. Hmm, I wonder who makes Lotek struts. Not having much luck on Google.
