Default Eiback sportline / neuspeed race

I'm deciding between the eibach sportlines and neuspeed race. I will have a 14mm rear sway with the stock front on a 98 civic ex. I like the rates of the neuspeed but i'm worried about the drop being too drastic. Also thinking of making diy top hats. Anyone with experience with either springs chime in.

Edit: I will be road racing BUT on a budget. I don't need height adjustment that's why i decided on springs. I was browsing and might just have to opt for the koni yellows. Would those handle the 2.25 drop well or are top hats still in order.

Springs are a joke to Koni Yellows.

If you want to risk bottoming out, go with the Sportlines.

So maybe the konis are overkill...... The AGX's should be more than enough? I guess if it has too much roll I'll beef up the sways.

The Yellows are a good buy, don't get that confused, they will last longer than most if not all shocks out there. It's the budget that is the major factor.

Yeah.... I still need tires, a new helmet since they changed the ratings, and fees still need to be paid.

I've been reading a lot and I'm even more confused. I saw some posts saying that getting a mild spring ( which would be not as low) with thicker sway bars would be good for track. The main thing is hoping the fender liner doesn't rub or scraping the front on bounce. Does anyone here Track their car with springs or does everyone use coilovers.

Ya the sprotlines are diesigned to be alittle high in the front..u wouldnt have to worry about bottoming out with the sportlines..but then again the neuspeeds will give it a cleaner drop
