Default What springs are best?

Sitting a little too high on stock springs in my opinion. A little lower would be appropriate. I'm not trying to slam it either just something that'll make it look slick.



Hey everyone I have a 99 Civic ex and I was lookin to lower it. Does anyone have some in mind that would work good on some stock struts? I was looking the Eibach Sportlines and was considering buying it but I think it might be a little too low. The car is currently sitting on 16's (205/55/16). Just looking for something stiffer, about 1.5" inches lower, and won't rub. I heard the sportines were a little lower than advertised. 2 inches is probably the max I'll lower it. Any suggestions?

Years ago I was running H&R springs. They rode well for the price IMO.
Just be sure to look around on here first before you pull the trigger and buy springs that don't lower it to much/to little.

i had progress springs with koni yellows on my old em1 years ago. It was very smooth. But with your width and hieght on the tires, I'd look into coilovers. Look in the sponser section. Progress got a deal going on their cs2 coilovers.
