v8hunter, I'm aware of what they CLAIM, I'm telling you this out of personal experience... at 3 inch down I expect some tuckage, yet when I sizlamm my car I don't get tuckage. And it's a HUGE pain in the **** adjusting the coilovers cuz they are very fine threads, so it takes about 1/2 hour per corner of adjustment.

is illumina any good compared to GR-2 KYB?
i have a question, does tein offer any springs for civic lower than 1.9" front and 1.7" rear? i saw on ebay that all the springs are rated those only. is there any difference with the spring you buy as the full coilover kit?

i have the progress full coilovers on my 1998 coupe and i think they are probably the best value of a coilover kit on the market. The ride isnt too stiff but also it has improved the handling of the car a bunch. The drop i think goes down to 3" but u wont even need to go that low.
PM Astroboy as i think he has an amazing price on the kit now.
