01 civic ex coupe owner, daily driver looking for 1.5-2.0" drop + improved handling.


the springs at my disposal:

Tanabe Sustec DF210: 1.8" drop all around, 3.0/5.0 spring rate

^^^check these out^^^^
Anybody heard reviews on these? Supposedly very good quality!
And I picked them up for $50.

Neuspeed Sport: 1.75" Front/ 1.5" Rear (not sure on the spring rate)

Eibach Sportline: 1.4" drop all around (not sure on spring rates)

I'm sort of a n00b in the area of spring rates... are the Tanabe's overly stiff for a 1.8" drop? Does anybody know the rates for the Eibach's?


Now for struts...

KYB AGX vs. KONI Sport (yellow)
I can pick them up for about $550...

Which ones would be better suited to handle a 1.5-2.0" drop with these progressive spring rates?

I heard the KYB AGX is too stiff for many people.
Also, I've come across a deal on some used TEIN BASIC coilovers for the price of a new spring/strut combo.. will these be too stiff, or should I ****** them?

Again, im looking for 1.5-2.0" drop, maintain comfort while improving handling!

Thanks!

If you want improved comfort, I would choose the Tokico's as they adjust both compression and rebound (more rebound though). As for springs, I would either keep it on the stock springs or Eibach pro-kit.

Our cars have limited suspension travel in the front and lowering more than 1 inch will ruin the handling.
