I dont know much about coilovers but i currently have a 1996 civic dx 2dr coupe with 17 inch drag rims....im looking to lower the car...im going to be buying the full kit in the future but for now am only looking to spend about 400 dollars....so if i buy these:

I think its a waste of money. You are not actually lowering the car, just shortening the movement of the strut, so it will drive like crap. Save up for a real coilover kit, with true ride height adjustment.

much cheaper there..and other places cheaper too but im too lzy to look


And no, you wont have to sell them in the future. You can buy just those alone now...you can buy shocks later on and pair them up, but i dont know want you want to lower your car a lot on stock shocks. Your gonna blow them and ride super bouncy

i'd go with some ground controls...bought mine from jhpusa.com

what if i buy this:

would that be better?
is that the whole suspension system or what?

it would be better than stock shocks

but IMHO a waste of money for those, dont waste your time on them....for that price you can get a Ground Control/Koni Yellow setup


edit: do you just want to slam your car? handling? comfort?

okay well lets start off with what kind of ride do you want? stiff or soft? or right in the middle? stiff= good handling but sacrifices ride quality, soft= good ride quality but not as good of handling ablities. if you have $400 to spend i'd wait just a little bit longer. theres plenty of suspension choices to choose from...meaning you have to do more researching....look up ground control,ksport,buddy club,tanabe,d2,function 7,tein, and etc....
