I'm lowered on yellow koni adjustables and neuspeed greens and I love it. Look into that setup, great for daily driving. Maybe not the best for auto-x or competition but great setup, I have no complaints

I recommend Ground Control coilovers. For about $350, you can make your car sit at almost any height you want.

Ebay springs suck...go with a reputable brand.
And for you wanting stock shocks, your going to need to replace them eventually as lowering your car will shorten the life of your shocks. So I would suggest doing it all at once.

Exactly.

But you can find a good deal out there for a name brand set of springs. I got my Tein S-Tech's on ebay for about $160. What about these? Skunk2 Lowering Springs - Honda 93-01 PRELUDE (ALL): Evasive Motorsports - PH: 626.336.3400, M-F 9am - 5pm PST

They'll give you a 2-2.25" drop and it's a name brand, not a bad price.

You put a 2.25 to 2.5 inch drop on your car and your stock shocks will be junk in less than a year. Don't believe me suit yourself. Neuspeed greens are just about the perfect drop for a street car. It's all opinion really, read up, I'm sure you can answer your own question

Lowering springs on stock shocks = very very bad idea.

Uncomfortable ride; Dangerous (if spring rates are too high); Bottoming out often; Decreases performance; Will have to spend even more money down the short line to do it right.

All these negatives just to look nicer.

I have Tein S- Techs on stock struts and it's been like that for a year now and everything is good strut wise. Though I am going to buy Tokico HP struts this summer but the stock struts got me through the year so I could save up.

i have my 95 civic lowered on stock shocks...they are the original shocks from the factory...its lowered with tenzoR springs 2.5" drop and its been lowered since september of 2007...

Dont be a cheap ass. Just get some kyb agx's and some good brand name lowering springs. Konis are better but kyb agx's do just fine to.

h22jdmvtec · 03-22-2009, 04:33 PM

its kinda hard to buy all that when i dont have much money and a baby on the way..i was specifically asking what some of you thought of those ebay springs...they look pretty decent to me...i just dont have the money to go out and spend a **** ton of money on my car right now...like i said ive been driving my civic for almost 3 years on tenzoR springs and oem struts that are 14 years old and theyve held up just fine..and vanquished has been driving his lude around for a year with stock shocks lowered with tein s techs...
