Default 4DR EK What kinda springs do you Have???

Hello I have a 99 4dr civic with tokiko blues and goldline springs which drop the car about 1.5". These past few months the springs have started to sag and now the right side is lower...I wanted to know what you FOUR DOOR guys are running because the 4drs have different spring rates than 2drs. I want to go with the Tein's but i don't think they make a 4dr spring. thanks!

All I know is that the four doors have slightly higher spring rates than the coupes/hatches, because the rear passengers sit a little farther back than the other models and because of the extra 80 or so pounds. Anyone have Tein S techs?

I've had Eibach pro-kit springs on my 96 4DR for about 5 years now, and no problems.

I street race, drag race, SCCA solo race, and abuse my car daily, and I'm really happy with them. think my right side is also slightly lower.... hmmmm (By about 1/4 inch)

Whatever you pick, don't go too low. The pro-kit springs were the smallest drop that you could get in a static spring at the time. My lower tie bar, jack points, and exhaust still scrape on the street every week, and it SUCKS. Just an fyi.
