lowering springs will give you a better feel then coil overs if thats what your looking for. Im curently running tokico shocks/struts/springs with a 2" drop handles great.

Eibach prokit springs
KYB AGX Shocks
Only drops it about 1.5" but nice ride and great performace. IMO

Also great for a daily driver as they're progressive rate springs...

I had those on my last car and they were freaking awesome... they take some getting used to though as you have to get through the lower rates to get to the solid one... so it feels like you're going to lose it but your not. they get stiffer the harder you get on them... it's great.

I may get those for my civic... but I'm leaning towards Ground Controls so I can adjust the ride height... with koni yellows strut/shocks...

But then I think back to how well the prokit springs with just GR-2 struts treated me and think about saving some money.

w. a h22 they hang low, i would go w/ coil overs for the stiffer rates, all the full coil over systems you name are great jus figure out how much you wanna spend, you will be happy w/ any of them
