I have a friend with a miata and he plans on running KYB AGX with the stock springs and he thinks I should try the same thing before I decide to put a set of performance springs on. Is anyone running AGX or Illumina's with stock springs? I realize he has a completely different car than me but I would like to see if anyone else has done it with a 99 civic si.

 

i would go for the performance springs. especially since you're going to have to disassemble the strut to put on new shocks. i just put the kyb on with some eibachs and it makes a big difference. you also might want to ask in the eg forum as this one is for fouth gen civics.

 

Yeah I noticed I had it in the wrong forum after I posted it but thanks for the response.

 

It'll still ride fairly smooth over bumps, yet eliminate alot of body roll. I would do it because being from Jersey I know how Newark is and I wouldnt even attempt to lower a car in that town.(bang, smash, crack, snap all the way to the alignment shop!) IMO leave it stock height but it's your car.
