good springs that will give me a 1.5-1.75" drop in front??
well i thought that 2" meant camber kit time for sure which i don't want to do..but i'm looking for like a 1.5-1.8" or so drop in front...preferably closer to the more extreme...maybe like only a finger space in the front...
i have koni yellows in front and tokico blues in the back and would definitely prefer a too stiff ride opposed to something too bouncy...right now my sportlines are getting bouncy as hell and i need replace them.
any ideas?? and yes i searched...nothing really for my specific requirements.
oh and if you have any pictures of a car with the springs you would reccomend i would love to see them..thanks.

Sprint Blues are a mild drop....even better they ride great matched with Tokico Blues. Sprint is an underrated spring, they actually very good.

That's on the Pro-kit? Wow. Looks more like a Sportline drop to me. What shocks are you running?
My CRX is on Neuspeed Sports and Bilsteins, which are *supposed* to be a bit lower than Pro-kits, but my car sits way higher...

H&R sports. I have no pics but I installed 2 sets in last 2 weeks one on my Civic HB and one on a friends CRX. On her CRX once the springs settled it was just about the ideal height for a daily driver. Not to low not too high. I take pics as soon as mine is out of the paint booth and the springs are settled. I haven't driven it yet, but it looks good just not as low as the CRX I did. Oh BTW they are supposed to be 1.7" front ant 1.8" rear. GL

i'm using KYB AGX adjustables. between the springs, the shocks, and the azenis tires, this thing handles like a motha

The drop looks perfect too!
This is the thing I don't understand. The Neuspeed Sport drop is supposed to be 2"f/1.75r, but people with springs with less drop than that (such as the pro-kits in this case, rated at 1.2" drop f and r, or often H&R Sports, 1.9f/1.8r) end up being way lower than my setup. However - it always tends to be the case that they have different shocks than I do (Bilsteins). Something is wrong and I can't figure out what!
My drop is nice and low up front, but way high in the rear. I want to get it to sit just like 4thGSi's hatch, but this is what the drop looks like right now:
I just don't know why it's so high in the rear?
Sorry for the thread-jacking!

Well, if your suspension feels bouncy, usually it doesn't have anything to do with the springs. It's usually the shocks. I wouldn't think that the Koni's in front are blown, so I don't know about the bounciness unless the bounciness is only in the rear, in which case I'd say the Tok's are blown (which I wouldn't doubt it you're on Sportlines).
Another good option would be adjustable sleeve-type coilovers, like Skunk2's or Ground Controls. Then you can put the drop wherever you want it. That's what I'm thinking about doing.

i have tokico springs and i think there fine they dropped my car about 1.4(tokico claims 1.5") and the ride is slightly stiff and no bounce. From a scale from 1 to 10 i would say an 8. I had tanabe springs and the ride was bouncy and stiff i would say a 6 on the scale. I recommend tokico springs they been in the game for awhile.

A little low for you? Hah that's high for my liking....I just like my cars on the tires if not tucking a 1/2". If done right it'll ride great and never bottom out. It's all in the brands you choose.

A little low for me because its my daily driver and i drive like a grandma, but still broke my exhaust manifold twice since i did the drop (~2 mos). My manifold sits about 2 inches from the ground. IT doesnt take much to lightly smack that on the pavement stripping out all my flange studs.
