Default Suspension help!

I'm planning on getting some Eibach prokits or some Neuspeed sports with some KYB AGX's, will the AGX struts cause any more lowering????, cuz I've heard like the Koni yellows give a slight bit more of a drop.

I've heard all good things about the prokits and a lot of mixed things about the Neuspeed sports. Hows the ride on the Neuspeed sports?

Neuspeed sports ride very comfortably... but still handle well... but then again, i was using Koni adjustables at the time too...

Nuespeed sports are a recommended street use application, with a good shock they are comfortable with a stable drop

You can't go wrong with Eibach.
Shocks are for dampening only and theoretically should not affect ride height. Shocks do not in any way carry the weight of the car like springs do. But I guess a shock with a shorter body and rod would make a car sit lower.

Koni yellows come in 2 different variations.

Regular Koni's have 3 height perches. 1 is "regular", one raises it about .5" and the lower one lowers about .5"

There is another version of Koni Yellows, the Neuspeed Koni Yellows with 5 perches. With Neuspeed Race Springs and Neuspeed Koni Yellows ive seen an accord lowered 4" with that setup. Not that I recommend that. But Koni adjustables are very versatile and can help you achieve the performance you want.
