Just get coilovers

If you get springs you need shocks too because the OEM shocks don't go well with lowering springs.

I have these springs. If you have money, buy coilovers, skip the lowering springs. The drop is ok and the car is kinda wobbly. For me its a temporary solution. My shocks are still ok though, no problems at all. I've had them on for about 12K miles.

Not true.

Unless your OEM shocks are in poor condition and/or the springs have an extreme drop (i.e. over 1 1/2" or so), the OEM shocks will function just fine.

Hey Ram, are you happy with your Eibach/Koni setup? Did you ever run the Eibachs alone? If so, what did you think?

Ive had the Pro Kit on my Civic backin the day with the stock shocks wasnt bad. I liked it. Than switched to the Groundcontrol coilovers with new replacement shocks nothing fancy on the shocks and were okay. But this interests me alot because this is on my need to know informations also.

Yup, ran the Eibachs with the OEM shocks for a year before the Konis....the OEMs worked great, very complaint ride!

Be aware though that the Eibachs make the car sit perfectly level front to back. So you lose the rake which *may* give the illusion of the car "sagging" in the rear, which is not the case.
My car just sat level...but I like a slight rake from the front to the back.
