Default Looking for new lowering springs

Hey guys looking for some help buying new lowering springs. I have a set of garbage coil overs and I hate how they ride and I think I want to just go with springs but looking to keep the same height I have my coil overs set up at.



Here is a pic to give you an idea of the height I am looking for. They are 16 in wheels for reference. Your ideas will be a great help. Thanks

springs wont necessarily give u a better ride. Why dont u get good coilovers instead of those garbage ones? Look into Ground control or Skunk 2. These are probably most popular sleeve system coilovers on the market.

exactly what do you expect you have garbage coilovers which come with a garbage ride

I never said that I expected any thing great from my coil overs. I put them on temporarily until I got something better. I have been thinking of going with the skunk 2 sleeves but was looking for some options in lower springs. Thanks

I have bilstein shocks and ground control coilovers and its a good riding car! If you really wanna go with springs and be at a ride height of something around that I would suggest Eibach Sportlines. They offer a pretty mild drop with good ride qualaties

i got tein ss coilovers on the accord, and they ride real nice. i just got the skunk2 coil sleeves for the civic, have not tried them on. but i would also suggest getting some aftermarket shocks if you get the sleeves, it helps balance out the ride. either koni yellows, or kyb agx. those are the two that seem to be recommended. and they are adjustable also. good luck

Archidictus thanks for the pictures

They allow you to adjust how low or high you want your car to sit.

I highly recommend the H&R Sport drop. It's soft enough for daily driving, but it's great around corners. I can go over speedbumps straight, and haven't bottomed the car yet on KYB AGX shocks.
