How much of a drop do you want? Give us a range.

Also, I would recommend a set of aftermarket shocks when you do the install of the springs. Lowering your car on stock shocks is stupid in my opinion. You are losing performance and killing your shocks quickly.

You are also going to need a camber kit to get your camber back in spec.

So all in all, I would do this. Don't cheap out and buy 200 springs. Purchase a set of Tein Basics for 850, Camber kit for 160, alignment for 75 and never worry about your suspension again.

As opposed to installing 200 springs, killing your tires, replacing the shocks after a couple months when they blow, and paying for install twice. It will add up to the cost of doing it right in the end.

Okay I'm done rambling now.

let him do what he wants.

if you're only willing to shell out 200 or so for a drop, Tein S techs are a good choice.

Or get the teins, and then once you're ready for new shocks and have saved up more money, get koni yellows

and to save money install everything yourself

your stock michilins are garbage anyways. get tires regardless of what you do.

That would help determine which company you should look for.

Check out the club rsx springs for the 02-04 rsx on clubrsx they are amazing 1.75" drop. It looks good.
