What do you mean coilovers and springs? Your options are either drop springs (w/shocks or w/o shocks) or full bodied coilovers. I'm pretty sure you don't want to frankenstein them together.

And search, there's another thread on lowering springs. All you have to do is skim the first page!

i just recently went from (Megan racing) lowering springs to (Buddy club N+) Coilovers and heres what i've learn.

its not as easy as you think, setting all 4's to your ideal ride height. i literally spent 5 hours setting it, taking the wheel off and on, driving up and down the block for any rubbing or how bumpy is it. then again, im a perfectionist when it comes to my car.

with a drop as low as coilovers you would need a camber kit. mine doesnt do much because my wheel is too fatty but it does help a little.

DONT FORGET TO GET AN ALIGNMENT!

your going to hate speedbumps, and bumpy roads in traffic. then again my buddy clubs are stiff as hell.

everyones gotta make the switch some day. goodluck!

Just by THAT statement alone I would say go with adjustable coilovers.....which by the way INCLUDE their own springs. That way if you're not happy with the particular drop you have them set to you can go a little lower or higher until you get it right.

A good set for relatively little money is the Skunk2 Pro-S coilovers. Going a little higher in price you could also get the Tein Super Streets or Skunk2 Pro-C coilovers. Those are just a few suggestions...but there are over a dozen setups to choose from. So search around and get feedback from other people from this forum and probably 8thcivic.com as well to see which set is the best for you.

Presto....problems solved!
