Default Good Lowering Springs for a 96-00 civic???

I have some eibach pro-kit springs on right now but they are not low enough. What are some good springs that dont have a harsh ride??? I was think about some Tein s. tech, Neupeed sport, H&R sport, eibach sportline...What do you guys think?

If you go with a lower spring...you'll also want to upgrade to a good shock like Koni yellows. Eibach SportLines are lower than the Prokit...and you can't go wrong with Eibach springs.

I think all your selections are about the same to what you got. When someone say "not low enough," it means you want low. I think only coilovers will make you happy.

If you want low, H&R Race springs I recommend. Then again, "harsh ride" and low go together. Many of the race springs are liner and not progressive rate, so your ride will be harsh.

haha I used to have the exact same setup and thought the exact same thing. Eventually I did get GC's, but then got rid of them after about a year.

The H&R Sport is a little lower than the Tein S-Tech, but they Teins are more comfortable.

H&R Race Springs or Neuspeed Yellows if you want lower.
