Default best spring

I found another thread over this but not one for my model car.

What would be the best springs to purchse for a 99 civic ex coupe, to use with stock shocks. I am not looking for it to be slammed just a better looking ride than 4 x 4. With good ride quality.

Shocks have 140k on them

Between Eibach Pro-kit and tein-s...What would you say? Keep in mind springs will be used with stock shocks.

I'd say on a stock shock the tein would be the best. I've spoken with tein, and they said theyre s techs were designed specifically for the stock shocks.

Honestly, I'd say go get a set of Koni Sport shocks, set the perch to the lowest position for a slight lowering, and keep the stock springs. You want good ride quality, then trust stock spring rates. Anything else will be stiffer, and reduce ride quality. Those shocks are probably well past their useful life anyway.

Shocks have 140k? They need to be replaced. At this point they are nearly useless.

The Neuspeed Sport springs are wonderful. They handle great and aren't slammed like some juvenile's car.

The neuspeed Race springs handle better, but the ride is FIRM. I really like the Sports for street driving.
