Well you could buy adjustable coilovers from just about any brand, that'd work too to achieve the drop you want.

I know someone that bought ebay coilovers and they don't give you a 3 inch drop, trust me. Plus they are really shitty for the ride, etc..

Re: 3inch drop lowering springs? (Richard...)
Stock shocks and cut stock springs FTW!
The height looks awesome, and it's still just as comfortable as stock. Not too stiff like those performance springs

LOL
then get some type of adjustable shock and put it on the soft setting so you do not spill your soda lol or your MC Donald’s meal all over your car while driving…

Re: 3inch drop lowering springs? (TealSpoon)
i believe sprint makes their springs in about a 3inch drop or more. i read that it is a comfortable ride. their springs rates are not that high if your looking for perfomance though.

wow.. worst advise ever. the only problem with finding springs that lower the car 3" is finding a strut to handle that kind of drop, your best bet is getting a full coilover or at minimum koni yellow dampers w/ coilover sleeves.

Re: (TealSpoon)
If you lower your car that much you won't want spring that are to soft, or you'll bottom out on things all the time cause the car dips up and down more. You'll want a little stiffer ride to keep your car from hitting things.

Re: (stock_honda_coupe)
my advice, get a suspension setup that will ride nice and not like ****. It may look nice on the outside, but once you drive it, you will get annoyed on how crappy it feels. So forget the ebay ones and get some brand names (you get what you pay for)

Re: 3inch drop lowering springs? (TealSpoon)
Used to have those crappy 30$ ebay "adjustable coilovers' on my si. Its actually just sleeve coilovers on stock shocks and trust me, it was hell. On the freeway i was scared to go over 60... I felt like i were going to lose control and just starts hopping and spin out and crash and burned. Those cheap coilovers are seriously dangerous (According to my own experience) I saved up and bought T1R adjustable coilovers and couldnt be happier. I wish it could be lower more but its good enuff. Heres the website if you're interested http://www.typeoneracing.com/catalog/home.php

LOL
Ok first of all ebay coil over sleeves with some after market shocks like AGX or what ever your flavor is will be just fine i have drove my friends EF a little over 60 and i can tell you it was fine!
Hell even pulled the hand brake in home depot and guess what? im still here lol!
Stock OEM shocks are your bottle neck and as for ride quality well i run drag suspension so anything other then that is soft for me lol...
Just my take on it however if you want comfort then why even mess with your suspension what ever happened to performance?
oh and if we are dropping names of nice setups
