Try looking in the Appearance section for pics to find out what you want or look in the '01-'05 Civic section.

You can always PM members and ask them where they got their set up too.

Eibach,H&R, neupseed, and many others. Searching the suspension or apperance section will help alot.

This is good advice. There are a lot of sound companies out there, and this forum in particular is a wealth of knowledge. I've lurked around the suspension for quite some time and there are a lot of helpful people on here.

You really can't go wrong with any reputable company's stuff, just stay away from ebay no matter how tempting it is.

eibach pro-kit or eibach sportline, depending on what you are after in terms of handling and height.

look nowhere else. just get them, you'll be happy.

if you want adjustability i'd look into ground control coilover sleeves and koni dampers. ground controls use eibach springs. that combination is really popular and relatively cheap.

I just took replaced my suspension and went back to stock. I have set of used Eibach ProKit springs and AGX shocks for a 3rd Gen Integra. Not sure if they'll work for you, but figured I'd let you know in case you're interested. Combo has 40k miles on it. I'd imagine the springs are fine. Shocks seem ok too, but I wouldn't want to use used shocks myself.

the springs are definitely OK. the only time those springs will get damaged is if they were in a fire of some sort or catastrophic accident.
