Looking for a better performance spring setup on 00 Civic EX

Hey Guys,

Currently running Tokiko struts with Tein dress-up lowering springs. Was kinda naive at the time of buying these springs so now I'm looking for a better performance spring, if it lowers the car more too than that's great. Would love some recommendations from you guys. Thanks!

Brian

Never knew Tein made springs call "dress-up".

Regardless of what the hell they are called, if you want to go lower but not sacrifice road quality thats not really possible because everyone's setup suits them differently. You'll get different vibes from different setups. My only suggestion to you, according to what you ask for ( go lower and still have better performance ) than I suggest koni struts with gc coilovers or tein coilover system.

What does "better performance" mean?

I'm not asking for YOUR definition. And even that doesn't mean anything.

No one should even be attempting to answer this question until the OP provides a criteria and details how the car will be used.

Suit yourself, party pooper. It's fun yelling out names of things.

Hopefully OP can be more specific. Usually, though, when people ask these general questions, they're just looking to lower their street cars (which he's already done). Wonder what it is that his current setup isn't doing for him.
