Default How long have you been dropped on stock shocks?

Also, what springs are you running and how low did they take you?

Thanks fellas.

Hmmmm, I was thinking of going with the Tein S. Techs and thought they would blow fast! I have a 2001 Civic but the suspensions are very similar.

I have an 02' DC5S and I'm lowered on h&r springs. I'm sitting on about 34K miles now and dropped quite a bit, like 2" or so. The ride is tollerable, but harsh if you hit a descent bump. You get used to it after awhile. But, I can take a 25mph off ramp at like 50 no prob. My boy has his type-s sitting stock and he said mines handles 2-3 times better in the corners. I guess you could say a stiff ride with a purpose I love mine at the track though
