what springs?

i just picked up my 93 civic, and was wanting to lower it but i dont want it to be too low so i cant get over speed bumbs i want it to be nice and low tho, whats a good drop? what springs should i get? i was thinking Eibachs. the pro springs are 1.30" drop, the sportlines are 1.60" drop? whats better? and how low should i go? i want it as low as i can go but not so low that i cant get over and speed bumbs thanx.

H&R Sports or Eibach Sportline if you are partial to a better ride. Shocks recommened for replacement

sportlines, or hr sports if you have a set of nice absorbers to compiment them... Prokit if you want a problem free setup without upgradeing shocks.

i would go ground control..i have them on tokico illumina's on my eg coupe..but they are higher end coilover sleeves..

people on these boards say tom's motorsports coils are decent for the price...like 100 or something...but you would need to upgrade your shocks for sure

really depends...what do you want to do with them? if ur looking just for look, nothing else, then i'd suggest tein s tech as they go quite low(not slammed), and they're pretty comfy.

Go with H&R sports. Don't need shocks, no camber kits and still driveable in the city. 1.75" in the front and 1.5" in the rear.

Eibach Sportlines are great... really comfy... but you lose handling unless you have adjustable shocks that can help compensate for the soft rear springs (stiffen them up when you're feelin more aggressive)
