Default Civic Si Springs w/o shocks

I'm looking at purchasing either Eibach Pro-kit springs or H&R Sport springs using my current shocks. Which of these or any others might you suggest. I want to avoid having "bounce" with too much spring and too little shock. Thanks.

dont be cheap and get shocks while your at it - my friend had pro-kits on stock shocks and they blew, and pro-kits barely even drop your car much

I agree totally with navin on this one. If you do springs/shocks serparately, you'll end up paying for labor/install twice and an alignment also.

yep, spend that extra bucks and get the shocks with it. eventually u're gonna need them so might as well get them now so u dont have to pay extra for the shock/strut installation. good luck man.

with eibach pro-kits, they wouldn't be any bouncer. stock shocks would hold out for just fine, the spring rate is not stiffer than stock by much. u have nothing to worry about. but u'll need a camber kit if u get an alignment (which u will after installation).
but personally i'd get shocks. u'll love ur car so much more.
