Default Whos got a 02 civic Si dropped on springs with a good ride

Interested is sorings, and wondering who has a set that is tight in cornering but still smoothe for in city driving and day to day. Its because my job keeps me in my car about 6 hours a day, so i cant be being beat on by my car seat! Some suggestions with a little insight on how they feel on your *** would be appreciated.

The no-brainer solution would be the Mugen SS.

Drop is not severe, handling is improved, and camber kits are not necessary.

If you can, taking some camber out of the rear and introducing some in the front is good, but not necessary.

This is what I use, and my car is a daily driver. I'll normally put about 80 miles/day on it.

Just a heads up for this : http://hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=1351178

Used Mugen SS don't usually come up for sale.

Whats a good spring to stiffin the 02 Ep3 without dropping it severely, and possibley w/ out camber issues? I also am interested in this question but i dont have the $ for mugen parts or a spring shock combo. Whats a good spring that is all around good, for driving cornering, and getting the boatyness out of my hatch. Much appreciated

Nobody answered you because you're looking for a cheap way out where there is none.

Without dropping a lot of cash, something like the Mugen SS is the only no-brainer solution.
