Default Time to get new springs::==>POLL INSIDE<==::

Hey whats up guys. The time to get new springs for my koni yellows is approaching. I am still undecided about what i should get.

I have a 2000 civic ex, I don't need these for autocrossing, just a lot of driving back and forth to school and home.

IF i had to pick right now, i would go with the teins. I appreciate your info and experiences with this selection.

Thank You!

TEIN s-tech springs teamed up with some atermarket shocks = good ride. Plus you won't have any major camber wear problems since the drop is subtle but looks sexy.

Neuspeed sports here.....60,000+ miles. Nice for day to day stuff and a slight drop.
1.5 front and 1.75 back.

The pro kits ride very nice for daily driving, but the drop isn't to spectacular. You will need a camber kit or constant tire rotation without the kit for all those springs except the pro kit.

Neuspeed sport or H&R would be my pic.

Speaking of Teins, what are the best shocks/struts for those?

I wouldn't go w/ H&R's, I've got them on my car now, the drop is nice, however their rear spring rates suck, at least for the civic. If you are going to do this I would buy springs from an integra (stiffer rear spring). I'm going to try and sell mine and buy me some Ground Control or Skunk 2 coilover systems w/ custom spring rates.

Ground control with the koni adapter.

I would but that's just me. I haven't even dealt with Tein's or Eibachs, just H&R's I originally bought those just because the drop height was exactly what I wanted.

Like I said, I'm going to go with GC's or Skunk2's w/ custom rates that way I have the spring rate I want and can raise/lower my car accordingly.
