Icon2 BLOX Lowering Springs any Good?

Hi I was wondering if the Blox Competition Series Lowering Springs any good? Im planning on getting it for my 00 civic ex and I really want to lower it. Does anybody have any pics of how much of a drop they get with these springs? Another question I had was are lowering springs more a comfortable ride than coilovers? Heres the link

I haven't had good luck with blox products. I haven't used the springs though, springs are pretty simple so they should be fine. They don't tell you the spring rates, which could give you some clue into the ride quality. 2.5 inches or so should be a nice drop for a DD unless you're trying to really slam it. Personally, I like my car to be drivable.

I know someone that had these springs, rode stiff but had a great improvment over stock. I was also told 8k front and rear.

Why not just get some more reputable lowering springs like SKUNK2? They are about 140 shipped on ebay.

Ive had skunk2 suspension and ive never heard or had any problems with them. Maybe a bad install?

Plus BLOX is made by SKUNK2 ive heard. Its just the cheaper version of them. So if you hate on skunk2 which is better. Why would you opt to buy the cheaper version of them? Just my .02
