i'm starting with some koni yellows and getting the ground control coilovers. everyone seems to be very satisfied with that set up.

check it out: 98 Civic DX Hatch. Stock suspension

my question is, will i need anything else to install these other than the shocks and the springs? or, is there anything that i should change/upgrade while i'm doing this? I'm already getting energy suspension urethane bushings on the way, so that's one thing out of the way.

Seriously, nobody? I really don't want to run into any problems doing this. This will be the first performance mod I'll be doing and I really don't want to mess anything up

dude, first off, it's been less than an hour. And if you are upgrading your suspension, think about what you want out of it eg. agressive/soft, daily/track(drag/roadrace) etc. As far as the bushings, search around for the archives.

All in all, check out the FAQ section at the top of the page:

You might want to get a spring compressor so you dont shoot yourself with the stock spring. Since you're down there, you might want to get adjustable camber kits to adjust tire camber if you're gonna drop it like its hot.

thanks guys...
well, i'm not looking for a big drop. i just want the car to sit a little bit lower and handle better. i'm going to be driving the car a lot. eventually i'll be getting a decent set of either 15 or 16 inch wheels.
