Default Help Buying New Springs....

I'm currently running a Eibach Prokit and i would like something a little bit lower to close down the wheel well gap i currently have.

It's def not a bad look what i have now, and i def don't want to have my car complety slammed, although i wish i could....

So I'm looking for opinions on new springs...

tein, h&R, neuspeed, eibach?

I think my prokit is 1.3, 1.5 lowering... i guess i would be looking for something around 2.0, not to much more, not much less.

Pictures would be greatly appricated!

The Neuspeed Race springs drop 2.25 in the front and 2.0 in the rear, thats what I have.

If I could go back and do it all again, I'd pick Sportlines. Nice, even drop front and back. Nicer ride quality according to most, at least when compared with H&R or Neuspeed Race (which have a similar drop).

I have them to, but here is something odd. I am installing them on a newer civic and only got the front done ( due to seize bolts ) , anyways the front is lowered and is pretty much not gonna change ( when I'm done installing the back ) Ok, anyways the drop is so much lower then what I have on my crx and I am just trying to figure out why. I'm starting to think it might be the rim and tire combo.

Anyways Greenmachine I could get you some pics of the neuspeed drop if your interested in going with neuspeed. I also have them on sale at the moment.

eibach sportlines ride awesome, considering you already have the prokit. Neuspeed sports also a great deal and ride. The Tein s-tech's, were a little too mushy for my liking. H&R race springs were just a tad too low for me, but rode good considering shock travel.

H&R Sport (1.9" front/1.8" rear) on my sedan. Great compromise between slammed and stock.
