Default Coil overs for civic type R

I owned my Civic for almost for years now and after seeing some pictures of lowered ones using coil overs, started to think about fitting them on mine too. the only problem is that road conditions in Malta are very bad with huge pot holes at times and since the ride on the civic type r is already quite hard, I think it might become unbearable. I also heard that if set on the soft mode the car tends to become unstable. can anyone give me his/her advice on this topic, tanks!

Do you want to lower your CTR just for the looks or do you want to increase handling and performance?

Get a set of H&R, Eibach or Spoon springs, then.

Here in Malta there is already a CTR with Spoon springs and it is not lowered that much.
Can somebody show me some pics with coilovers please?

At least that´s the German product code.

Why should he get the US version for the Civic Si when he´s got a CTR and is located in Europe?

The drop on your car is just perfect, are the colour of the wheels stock? They look a bit darker.
