Default 1999 civic ex...want to lower in height slightly......

Just doing some research on some lowering springs that offer a slight drop and came up with the Eibach Pro-kits and Tein H Tech lowering springs. Differences I found are...

Pro-kit- Front-1.5" Rear-1.3" Anyone know spring rates? Price-$210

H-tech- Front-1.3" Rear-1.1" Spring Rates- Front-3.8/212 Rear-2.2/123 Price-$158

Now the prokits come with a million mile warrenty and H-tech come with 1 year. Anyone know the difference with spring rates and how exactly they measure/work because I'm not so sure. What would be a good spring rate to shoot for if your just everyday driving and not road racing, etc? Anyone have pics or experience with either 2 of these springs and comments? Looking for a spring that I won't need a camber kit on and won't affect tires hardly. Remember, not looking to slam my car or anything, just a nice simple drop to get rid of a little fender gap! Ok thanks!

You don't really need a camber kit with that conservative of a drop.. Only past 2.5 inch drop (usually) you can benefit from a camber kit. A full alignment: caster/toe/camber will fix any probs.
