Wtf about kidneys???

And springs all depends on how much you want to drop. We can't tell you what you want and what you like.

S-Tech's are relatively close to the 2" drop. But IMHO, get better shocks. That will determine ride quality overall over springs. Koni Yellows .

what i ment about my kidney's was i had omnis on my crx and it was a super stiff ride that everytime i went over a bump it felt like i was being punched in the kidney's i have a brand new set of tokico blue's for the springs to go on and i have ridden in cars with skunk2 coilovers on them and the felt pretty good but i dont want coilovers just a good springs. i dont want eibach pro kit i want 2 to 2.5 inch drop and would like a opinion on what a better spring is for that set up

The S-Techs are really close to a 2 inch drop and are very comfortable, they would also be perfect for your Blues, I'd say get them.

that is the drop you are looking at for s-techs. the ride is nice and smooth, basically like stock. I personally want mine lower, which is why I am going full coilover soon, whenever I get another job...haha.

Wow that drop looks pretty good! Your car is hot, what shocks are you running?

the s.tech's provide a great ride... but as u can see they aren't low enuff... i have eibach sportlines and the drop is a little lower than those s.tech so its a nice drop but they are a little stiffer than the s.tech but i would sacrifice a nicer looking drop for a little stiffer ride because you can compromise with nice shocks

those are stock shocks, so yeah, i dont know they might sit slightly lower with aftermarkets. I am not buying shocks, cause im just saving up to go with a full coilover, either PICS or Teins.

With that setup, did you have any problems?
How about camber problems? Thanks.

No problems whatsoever. No lie man, I have been running that setup for almost 3 years, and I have never had any camber wear and my factory stocks still perform fine, other than the fact that they are getting normal wear from the cars high mileage, but since I am getting full coilvers, I am not planning on replacing them. I am running Falken Ziex 512s right now, and I have absolutely no camber wear and at least 60% tread left. They have 19K on them since I put em on.

I know skunk 2 has a crazy lowering spring drop of like 2.75 or something, and they are just springs not coilovers, and nice sedan, I really like

I have run several combinations over the years on several civics and I like the neuspeed / tokico combination best.
