Default Anyone with a body kit and lowered help me out

Ok I am looking to add a Full body kit to my car. I currently have the following mods
17" Enkei Shogun Aluminum Rims
Tokico Performance Gas Shocks
Neuspeed Race Springs
205/40/17R Nitto Extreme 555

I need to get new springs I am debating about height. Should I go with the Eibach Pro Kit or Sport Line kit?
Or Neuspeed Sport?
I am really unsure about Ground controls Coil overs the springs are short and look like they maybe bouncy even with new shocks.
I guess a lot of you will reply with it depends on the bodykit so i am hoping people with body kits and lowered rides will help me here
TWO MUST IMPORTANT THINGS
1)Ride comfort and a non bunchy ride
2) Ground Clearance

I love my H&R Sports. Smooth ride, car handles great, perfect height. I have the OEM kit and 17" wheels.

I dont personally have the Ground Controls myself, but if you are on a budget thats what I would get. if you got a little xtra dough I would say go to the Neuaspeed site and pick up a set f their full coilovers for $800 shipped and sell your shocks. Thats what I did, but idsay go with some form of coilover system cause youll never have that perfect ride height that you want. By doing that you can adjust it however you want it. Ive installed a set of Ground Controls on a Civic and they seemed very nice for a sleeve system. But if you got a little xtra go with the Neuspeeds. Dope *** price.

go for the eibach sportlines... I've had them on both my integras and the ride is great... some people are even impressed with the smooth ride....the neuspeed sports is said to give you a drop like .2 or so of a inch when compared to the sportline specs... that is not the fact as I know a friend that has the sports and his car is lower....and about ride....don't feel as good as the sportlines... as for the pro kit I'm not sure... but if you get the pro kit you're going to have a big gap even with the 17s... even if you go with the eibachs you're still going to have a gap but not as big as the pro kits....

Well thanks for everyones help I just order some Ground Control Coil Overs. Ordered a special Spring rate. So there is an extra inch of spring. This is beacuse I don't need to drop it lower than 2.00 inches
Hope Everyone is doing well, thanks for the help

Keep the springs.
I have full WW Type-W kit dropped on Nuespeed on 205/40/17.
No problems at all. You have to bit a tiny bit more careful - but seriously no problems at all.
Peace.

Hi Scotty thanks for the reply. I wish that where the case and everything worked out. But I live where the people who design the driveways and streets are against lowered cars.
I have 17" Enkei Shogun Aluminum Rims
Tokico Performance Gas Shocks
Neuspeed Race Springs
205/40/17R Nitto Extreme 555
and every time I pull into my drive way my catalytic converter part of my exhaust rubs with the ground (Stock exhaust)
That's not all, the business area that I travel in has a large # of speed bumps. Morons put like 15 speed bumps up in a 1/4 mile area. Ruins the bottom of my car as well as alignment. So I would hate to see what would happen if I added a body kit (side skirts etc)
I did order myself some Ground Control Coil Overs today. I hope they are as good of quality ride as they are hyped up to be.
Peace Out Bro
