haha ya, or when she's 'thinking about getting rims' lol... meh weird i know
hmm... maybe they are going... the bouncing definitely sounds like it, but but just like sane i really don't know much about the 01+ civics, i know the macpherson struts up front make it a whole different beast when it comes to suspension...
if they are blown then you can easily justify spending more money on a full suspension swap (springs & shocks) because that would probably be cheaper than getting full OEM replacements for everything..

2) tein springs in general are cheaper and i've heard nothing but good news about them, however do note that tein springs only have a 1-year warranty, whereas eibach products have a 10 year (or more?) warranty. also for ek applications h.tech springs are less of a drop in the front, but the spring rate is lower... so i wouldn't be surprised if h.tech springs "sag" more than pro-kit springs.
most/all of my research is based on setups for ek civics (since that's what i drive) so check out the spring rates/drops/warranties for your application.
best o luck!
