whats your budget, before people name off 8 million combo's of suspension parts

your car is not going to ride smooth with 18's...get rid of them

Tein s-tech springs with stock shocks = near stock ride but lowered for $150.

I dunno if your dubz will rub though. I get some minor rubbing at full lock or when I dive into a corner really fast with 205/50/15's

I've been on this setup for over 10,000 miles and I dunno how old my shocks were before I put the springs on. My car had about 135,000 miles on it at the time.

Tokico complete kit with shocks/struts/springs ext. Should help out a lot gives it a nice ride. Also good for lowering it if you want. Get the kit that you like....

i got 18" rims, have i current have Pro-Kit and im loving...like the guy stated how much your willing to speed i think i paid 180 for my pro-kit

it depends on how low you wanna go too if you want it slammedddddd with 18s and soft theres no way youre goin to get around without rubbing unless you roll the fenders

18" wheel gets really skinny tire...Thats your problem, you wont find any suspension out there to fix those noise and thumping sound from you car.

Get some smaller wheel size...problems will be all solve!!

I just put Neuspeed Sport springs on my 94 EX and I'm still using the stock shocks. I must say that I'm really happy with ride. It's near stock, but it's lowered enough that it looks good.

DUBZ y0! sell them to some ricer and buy some rotas(cheap) if you want a low ride, hit up 15s

I got Tokico illuminas coilover on my 16" and it rides better than stock

hotasscivic

i dont have a budget i just want good suspension

hotasscivic

also i dont have it slammed its only lowered like an inch or so so riding with it slammed is not an issue. i know my problem is with the 18s but thats what i have so i gotta make due i mean i dont expect it to ride like a caddy i just want it better that it is

HATCHingMN

what kind of problem you are having with the suspension right now?? and what do you want your new suspension to be able to do??

hotasscivic

i just want it to ride nicer than it does and i figured if i need new struts i might as well buy a full coilover set up with struts. i mean my stock struts have like 120,000 miles on them

Synthesis

the question here is not which suspension to choose, but why on earth you put 18's on a little civic eg hatch

Phantastic

h&r or eibach springs with tokico shocks

hotasscivic

thanks

tein ss dampers are great if you have the $ you can adjust them 16 different ways. the 18s with a good suspension are always going to be rough you just have to avoid pot holes

Stock.

I have bone stock suspension on my daily driver. It is rather comfotable.

bgoetz

LOL

jdm123

yea get rid of the 18's they are way to big

bgoetz

I really don't know how much lower than stock you could go with 18s. Most suspensions lower your car at the optimum setting

Best advice ever i to have stock DD and will not have it any other way.
On the other hand my civic has got 550 front and 500 rears with OTS Konis and it probably rides better than your stock shocked civic. If i were you get some 3 way adjustable shocks(since money is no object) and set the high speed bound pretty low(i.e you hit speed bump the shokc travel fast) then set the other to pretty stiff. It should rub to bad and will make the car handle a lot better. also make sure you bushing are good and consider replacing every single one with Mugen or stock bushing.

After all that good advice. Get rid of the 18s cause the rubber band are nor helping you ride at all. Get some thing with at least a 50s sidewall. which will most likely be a 15 or 16.
