00 Civic SE - 4Dr
Everyday car... to and from work, wife drives it once a week

stock set up as of now... will soon be changed due to wear and tear.

replacing ball joints
replacing tie rods (desperately needed)
maybe upper camber (ball joints)
replacing stock shocks with KYB GR2 gas shocks/struts

Heres the question, I would like a comfortable ride... BUT also a drop of about 1.5", was thinking I'd go with coilovers as well, lets face it we live in Canada, winters can be a bitch, so I'd like to be able to adjust for that.

Suggestions please.

Suggestions? Buy an Eibach Pro-Kit and call it a day. Why waste money on a full coilover kit when you want a modest drop and still have excellent ride quality? The pro-kit isnt that low..it'll settle to close to 1.5" in drop and have excellent comfort for a lowering spring.

Coilovers wont be as comfortable for a daily...
