Default Time to upgrade my suspension... again...

I currently have the Eibach pro kit but it's not longer "good enough." It's handles extremely well when I AutoX but I'd really like the drop to be a bit more. I've thought about just buying the sportline kit and that may be my solution but I'd really like to get adjustable's. I've been looking at the Tein kits and really wouldn't mind getting one but the only person i know with them is Carlex and they're on his Yellow ITR. Does anyone know a decent suspension kit for Civics? I'm sure they're not much different seeing as how both cars are basically built around the same base but I figured I could at least ask and not assume.

Lemme know. I don't mind spending some money, especially how in my experience i've noticed you really do get what you pay for. At least %90 of the time!!

Lemme know... and thanks in advance!

PS...

I'd like a setup in which I can adjust my spring rate and height.

The kit can be mix and match to. It doesn't have to be a full blown setup. If tokico's are just as nice with decent springs that's fine by me. I just want to get the most out of my money.

everyone is raving about ground control coilovers matched up with koni yellows. with ground controls you could specify the spring rates you want to satisfy your needs. and they also use eibach springs.

i've HEARD that the ground controls don't use eibach springs, but they use the eibach machine that makes their springs, so ground control spring rates are different than those of the eibach's. i don't knoe if this is true or not, so correct me if im wrong.

actually it is an Eibach spring. Eibach makes the springs for the GC's.

i beleive that the sportline springs don t even drop as much as the pro s...its hard to get much lower that 2 inch s without going with coilovers..be careful though..u get gravel between the springs and ur going to have hell to pay to adjust the heighth

My Ground Control coilovers say Eibach on them and the package came with two stickers that say Eibach equppied so I guess they are Eibach.

Yeah thats what everybody suggests here on this board the GC's adn Koni yellows.
I know that if i needed to get a new susp. id go for that combo. But to me they are kinda expensive(the KONIs') I currently have the OG Skunkworks coilovers. To me they ride great. And ive had them in for about two years now, and still holding on great!! Trust me they been through alot, like 3 diff. accidents!!
