Default 03 Civic LX Sedan Lowering Question...

Hi, obviously i am new here but i have used the search function and still had a hard time finding the answer.
My first question is what "class" is my car considered, its a 2003 Honda Civic LX Sedan and im pretty sure its the 1.7L. is it EM, or EP, or EM2? there are so many of them...
Secondly, i am extremely interested in lowering my car but i do not want to lose the smooth ride i get with my stock springs.. Are the Tein S-type or H-Type better? i just want the car to look more aggressive but keep the smooth ride... ANy advise is great...thank you...

Sal

The Ultimate Honda Chassis Code List:

where did i find this wonderful information?
► Official FAQ Thread for 01-05 Civic (Coupe and Sedan)
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1759217

There is also alot more fantastic information available about the 2001-2005 honda civic including information about suspension.

Also the search tool is very powerful. Archived Information is Key.
Below is a little tutorial on how to use the search tool effectively...

yea when u post something try to search every avaliable resource on here or ppl will bash u like above. as far as the springs go, i have the tein s-type. they will give that more aggressive and the ride quality is ok. more stiff but def ok for an everday driver.
