Probably you all know by now with how much I have been asking, i own a 92 Civic Si Sedan. Currently im planing on improving my suspension to get rid of that Hummer ride height, handle a bit better, and just plain get a new suspension, im still runing the stock one which is pretty much F*cked up...
Just a pic so you get an idea of the height of my car...


First of all, what would be a good combination between shocks and springs (NO COILOVERS, can use them on street here). I was told Kony Yellows and Eibach springs? what do you think? Also how much of a drop would i be looking for.

KYB AGX's and Tein S-Tech's. 1.75 inches, handles like it's on rails.

First of all the Si, for the 92-95 Civics was only a hatchback.

As for your question, Koni Yellows are generally agreed to be the the best shock for the 5th gen Civics, however they are pricey. I myself have the Kyb AGX shocks and Eibach Pro-Kit Springs which are very nice for the street and cheaper than the Yellows. Both the AGXs and the yellows are adjustable so you can change the stiffness how you want it , and the Pro-Kit springs are progressive, meaning the spring-rate increases as the spring compresses, so its stiff when you push it, but relatively soft when you're easy on it. The Pro-Kits lower 1.4 in front and 1.2 in back, which isn't dropped enough, so I'm told, to require a camber kit.

I'm happy with my current suspension, and if you decide to go this route, coximport.com, a sponsor on this board is one of the best places to get it online, and you get a H-T discount.

Good luck with your decision and I hope you're happy with your car.

I like my H&R cup kit, it is basically just H&R sport springs and Koni Yellows.

H&R Sport w/ Tokico PP works for me.
It dropped my 93 CX 1.5 all around and no camber problems.

Or you can get a Tokico HP Kit for $360 from optauto.com, pretty much the same ride comfortability, just cheaper. It also drops you to 1.5 all around. Camber could be different though, cause yours being a sedan, mines a hatch.

I personally don't like a big drop on a daily driver, so the pro kits did well for me, and the progressive springrate on the prokits gives a nice ride around town and has a stiffer springrate than the sportlines when pushed.

So basically sportlines for drop, pro-kits for daily driver and autocross.

thanx sure thing...good to know that...
