what kind of Eibachs do you have? the Pro-kit? Sportline? Race?

and what Neuspeed springs are you getting?

my friend has Neuspeed Race springs on his prelude and is pretty happy w/ them... and other friends had neuspeed.. I think it was "sport" series on their Civic hatches and had no complaints..

Determine what drop you want, combined with what spring rate you want and find the best spring that matches. Check out this spring rate table:

Or go with Ground Control coilover sleeves and you can adjust the drop you want. Make sure to get shocks that will work with the spring rates you choose.

I like and recommend linear-rate springs. Progressives have always been too mushy for me.

I recommend sticking with the Eibach Prokits.

2.5" is too much Going past 1.5" requires a camber kit and still allows a good range of suspension travel. With a 2.5" drop, handling will suck because you won't have enough suspension travel (and room between the tire and the wheel well/fender) and your tires will hate you because of extreme alignment problems. But, if you aren't going to be pushing it through the turns, then go with a 2.5" drop

My car is lowered almost 2" w/ H&R Sport and Koni yellow shocks, no camber kit, no abnormal tire wear. Handling is pretty awesome (that will depend largely on your tires).

TOE is important...

my car is also lowered approx 2".. I have Eibach sporline springs along w/ Koni Yellows (Sports/adjustables whatever u want to call them)... I also have 16" rims w/ 205/45/16" tires and I don't get abnormal tire wear either... I don't have a camber kit but my last alignment read that wheels had negative camber of ranges from -1.8 deg to -2.1 deg... even w/ no camber kit.. and up to -2.1 deg camber I don't get bad tire wear... make sure your TOE is in check because thats what eats up tires...

I also have Neuspeed strut bars and ST Sway bars..along w/ the Eibach sportline and Koni yellows + 16" SSR's and Dunlop SP9000's.. handling is great IMO... the car hugs the road like crazy and carves turns really well w/ very little body roll...
