I have a set of streets, 10k 8k rear, on my 99si and the ride is a little bouncy but i get no body roll in corners. and they are pretty darn good for dragracing as well, the *** end of the car dosent squat on launch at all.

Over all

Tein SS spring rates for '96-00 Civics are 8k/4k (448f/224r). If that's too stiff for you, you're not going to like the Omnipowers; Omni's street kit rates are 10k/8k, and sport kit rates are 12k/10k.

As far as pictures go, they're adjustable-height coilovers - you set them wherever you want them.

If you don't like stiff, do not go with Omnipowers.
I'd start researching spring rates of stock versus whatever you're interested in.

The best thing to do is go with Ground Controls and a slightly more than stock spring rate IMO.

I got my coilovers for less than 570 bucks, so considering that a set of Groundcontrols and good shocks will run my around 650 plus, Im more than happy with the ominpowers and the ride is something u get used to.

Unless you have any passengers. IMO...if its not a track-only car, I want a ride that's not harsh on the road. That's why I love the Koni yellows on my integra, set to full soft, it give an excellent ride for everyday!
