Default Need help picking springs...

What springs would you guys suggest for a very small yet noticeable drop on a 2001 Prelude? I want to improve the handling and the looks without sacrificing driveability.

So overall what would you guys suggest for a nice clean look and better handling without going super low.

Thanks.

I just don't want anything to low. I think the sportlines might even be to low.
Don't you think the pro kit would be better?

The Eibach Pro-Kit is more of what you are looking for. You might also want to look into the Tein S Tech's. Probably is exactly what you want. Search and you should find many posts about both. I had the Pro-Kit for quite a while and enjoyed it, but you will more than likely need to get camber kits and an alignment. If you aren't ready to do that at the same time, just wait. May as well go ahead and put in fresh struts while you're at it too, most stock struts blow shortly after lowering.

yeah, you don't want to go any lower than a Pro Kit, just installed one on my 4th gen, looks very good, and handles great.

Once again thanks for the replys. I am looking into the Teins H or S. I have seen sportlines and ridden in them and they are nice, but they might just be a little to low.

Thanks again fellas.
