Eibach pro-system doesn't compare to Koni/GC...thats two different worlds away man.

Koni/GC is the best sub $1000 suspension you can get IMO. And most will say the same.

If I HAD to choose a spring/strut combo the prosystem or tein h. tech/koni str.t would be the way to go.

I've got a 94 Civic (same suspension as Integra) with Koni/GC. It's lowered about 2.5" to 2.75" without camber kits. Camber in the front is -2* to -2.5* and rear is -1* to -1.5*. This is perfectly fine on any daily driver and can be found on lots of performance cars. As long as you get the toe zeroed out, the tires will last their full life. I've got Falken RT615 that have been on since about the time they first came out. No problems with uneven tire wear. The fronts will wear the insides a little more if you do burn outs, but I don't do that.

As long as you like to do a little hard cornering here and there, you won't have any troubles whatsoever.

PS: Sears does hassle free alignments on modified cars. They even knew to add some extra boards to get the front lip to clear the ramps. They get a from me...

Agreed the koni/gc setup will be miles ahead of the of the eibach in performance and have a good ride as well as long as you are conservative on the spring rates.

Koni yellow is the best available box-stock shock on the market in my oppinion, and have seen many poeple take of their 1000+ dollar coilovers in favor of them.
