Best quality springs??
What springs are best to get when wanting to drop a 2001 Civic Coupe to the point where there is no gap in the rear wheel well, and front wheel well, taking into consideration that the front wheel well has more gap than the rear? I need a brand and the drop rate if ya'll dont' mind. Thanks
I considered Eibach, but don't know if that's the best choice.

Rep Power: 0 Eibach is good, but I have Sprint Springs. No Gap in back. Take a look at My Ride to check the gap. I'm selling my springs and they're only 6 months old, and are blue so give me an e-mail.

Rep Power: 416 sprints arent that low and not a great company as neuspeed race... depending on the tires, it should kill most of the gap.. i had 1 1/2 finger gap with my neuspeed sports on stock LX wheels. since the race is .5" lower it should just about kill the gap

Rep Power: 0 Im sorry, I used to love Eibach, but Im not satisfied with their drop. They drop the front and the back too evenly. But most cars on the road (including ours) have the rear fender lower than the front fender. So, with a drop, the car appears to be sitting lower in the back. Me personally, I chose to go with H&R, although I havent ordered yet, this is my final decision. H&R drops the front a tad bit lower than the rear, ultimately giving the car a more aggressive stance and look. JMO though!

Are the H&R springs the only ones that drop the front a slight bit more than the rear?

Rep Power: 416 h&r's dont even drop your car much 1.3... if you want a real agressive stance, go with the neuspeed sports for sedan on a coupe. i had them on my coupe and it was like a 1 1/2 finger gap in front and 3 finger gap in the back.. looked "aggressive" but looked ugly.. haha aiite so maybe thats not a good choice but if you want agressive, goldlines new coupe springs should be nice.. not the old ones but the new ones
VniLiman, what do you think about Matrix springs? Theres a shop aorund here that will do it for $200.... I want to spend no more than $300 total, and I want a pretty aggresive drop. (without overdoing it).. id say.. to leave a one inch gap in the fender wells. (stock steelies/firestones)

Rep Power: 416 i would say stay away from matrix.. i think their springs drop really low anyways.. like 2.5"
go with neuspeeds... sports is alright, kinda too high for me... they cost me $140. and install was $70. so its 210, much better then spending 200 on matrix... 1" gap doesnt sound like much but it is.. just come to the meet and see what you like... i'll even give you a ride in my car... doesnt ride too nice anymore now that i have 18s tho

Rep Power: 0 VNlilMAN, im not going for a crazy "redneck in a chevy" look, i wanted the front to lower more than the rear so that the front and rear gaps will be even. as opposed to the rear gap being smaller than the front, similar to the way it sits stock. my main goal is to try to get as close to the even gap as possible. i guess coilovers are best for full customizing, but i prefer springs cause they are cheaper and less hassle.
