Best for what? Looks? Ride quality? Performance? You usually can't get all of the above in the same package.

eibach's are go lower or higher than it says. They are un-accurate. I am getting neuspeed. Everyone i know that buys neuspeed is happy and their drop is what is advertised. I had neuspeeds on my civic and never had a prob. I am going to lower my cl 1.7 inches - which is the lowest you can really go before putting a camber correction kit on. To me thats low enough anyways. Check out the neuspeeds. T^hey are the same for our car as they are for the accord.......PEACE

Anytime you go much lower (.75" or so) or stiffer (50 lb/in or so) than stock, you need new shocks.

Turbotk, Groupbuycenter has the Neuspeeds (the 1.7" drop) for $129 with 15 bucks shipping in case you're thinking about getting them soon...after putting on some kyb agx adjustables, don't you think they'd settle below 2" (my ideal setup idea right now), and I'd need a camber kit?

Neuspeeds are pretty accurate. I am not sure about the camber kit. it should be ok just in case - play safe. My boy just lowered his accord with neuspeed 1.7's and there is no need for the camber kit at all. So i think our cars will be fine. Do you ahve a web address for that website? THATS A NICE PRICE!!

I believe all springs settle after some time. The Neuspeeds will most likely settle to 2 inches after a month or so. And you do need camber kits if you lower you car this much.

i had nuespeeds on my integra before and it settled after a yrar to like 2.5 inches. They were the sports that supposed to be lowering at 1.5-1.75 inches. It rides ok and the front settled alot more than the back. I had a small gap in the back and tuck tire in the front. They were installed professionally and correctly. It was just the springs. Many other ppl with neuspeeds have the simluar probleam after a year. I had my eibachs for over a year and i love them. Did not settle any lower but are a little rough with the tokicos blues.

i say just get adjustable springs... like ground control, or coil overs...

then you could make the hight you want...

if your showing off you could slam it..

time to drive raise it back up... ride quilty... noting is better then stocks..

but at least you could adjust the looks of your car..

by the way, the website with the neuspeeds for $129 and eibach prokits for 190 is www.groupbuycenter.com

I'm pretty sure this has been posted before...become a member (its free), and they have decent prices that drop when more people join a buy
