ride comfort?

so i want to lower my civic, ive decided springs are what i need rather than coilovers but im kinda concerned about the ride comfort. im looking to drop 1.5-2 inches so with that being said whats my best combination of springs and struts that will deliver the comfort and handle the drop. now i know that it wont be like oem but im talking whats the closet to it?

Re: ride comfort?

A wheel / tire combination usually makes the biggest difference in ride comfort.

As long as you stick with lowering springs and shocks, you should be fine. I've ridden in a few cars with lowering springs and they were pretty comfortable. Full coilovers are usually a bit harder :P
