Default Help!! What would the best suspension setup for me?

I am looking at purchasing a spring/shock combo, under $500 to go on my 99 civic sedan. I am currently riding on Dropzone coilovers and 17x 7 wheels 205/40/17 tires and the ride is pretty harsh. However I would like to maintain most of the drop. I want to eliminate 90% of the wheel gap, but I don't want my wheels tucked like they are now. I do not have the money for koni yellows so please do not suggest them. I know they are they best out there. This is only for a street car, no autocrossing

you should look into kyb agx's. they are great shocks for the money. as for springs i would suggest h&r sport or race or the eibach pro kit.

I am sure that I do not want the pro kit because the drop is not quite enough for me.

For what you want some kyb agx and some gc would be ideal. The price may be a little more than 500 but well worth it in the long run.

I'd upgrade those 17x5" wheels, first.

with the Pro Kit..thats my exact setup..ur never going to get ur OEM ride back..but this is the closest i was able to get to it..the Pro Kit is suppose to be 15% stiffer than stock..and at a setting of 2..the KYB s are the 15 also
