Tokicos with H&R Springs or koni yellows with ground control coilovers, or skunk2 coilovers with skunk2 sport shocks. How much of a drop do you want?

I'd also recommend the Password JDM 3 pt. front upper strut bar and rear one, NRG H-brace if you're not lowered too much, and an A-Spec ASR Subframe bar

The SI already has sway bars

Well i can tell you for a strut/spring combo, a nice street setup thats not too harsh, but has an agressive edge would be Some ground control coilovers with some Tokico or KYG struts. Thats just my $0.02, im happy with my tokico/G.C combo for daily driving, and the weekend autocross.

As for strut bars, depends on how much your willing to spend. Passowrd JDM sells the carbing 3-point front strut bar, which is about as stiff as it gets (IMO) for any front strut bars.

As for sways, id look under the suspension thread, under the FAQ's sticky, you could prob find some answers there.

For the drop you want, get some Tein S-Tech springs or Eibach Pro-Kit springs.

speaking of those, i just bought me a set and installed them on the ek. I personally like em, they handle well, ride is good for a dd..


not extremely dumped, but at a good height, still able to go about 2 inches lower in front and down to hell in the back

i have tokico ill. shocks and H&R sport springs lowered it about a inch and a half.
its not bad but if i had to do it again id most likely get Skunk2 coilovers or Tein.
