H&R Sport with Koni STR.T on 1996 Civic?
I'm new to this forum stuff but I have a stock 1996 honda civic dx and I want to lower it. Not too low just enough to get that aggressive look and still have daily driveability. I was thinking of going with the H&R Sport lowering spring which lowers supposedly 1.5"-1.8" paired with Koni Str.t orange shocks. Is that a good setup? Anyone with this setup? Koni says the STR.T's can be used as OEM replacements or lowering shocks up to a maximum of 2". Anyone have any reviews and opinions on these products? Pics would be nice. TIA! Here's my stock ej6:

Every shock leaks sooner or later. They're wear items. If you're going Koni, spend a little extra and go with the Sports. More room to grow and a great product in general. You can also use the circlips on them to lower the car a little, even on stock springs.
Never been much of a fan of Tein, just nothing impressive about their products to me. Stick with H&R or Eibach for springs.
Actually now that I typed that, just go Koni/Ground Control. The packages that are available from the vendors here are a good value for what you get. If you're planning to keep the drop reasonable you can skip the top hats and go with off the shelf rates to save a few bucks.
... And read the stickies.
