I am looking to drop my 1993 civic sedan. I want a livable ride, but i am looking for more of a performance feel. Does anyone have any ideas on companies and setup's.

a couple friends of mine have these springs installed on their cars and they are very happy with the lowering and the performance

Eibach. Look nowhere else.

i have neuspeed race springs with tokico gas shocks

droped 2.5" front and 2" drop back...ride is a bit stiff but if you want soemthing performance i would go that..

if not i would go with eibach...

or also try KYB's

i have a 2000 civic but instead of lowered springs i was gonna go for Eibach slip on coilovers and Koni shocks? i dont know if thats any good my friend has that same setup and it performes good and rides good crusin and the good thing i like about it is that you can chose how low to make your car.

I think you are referring to Ground Control sleeves with Koni shocks. This is regarded as one of the best options, as you can order your springs with any rate you want. BTW, Ground Control springs = Eibach.

Johnny you work for Eibach or something, you seem pretty keen on them?

JohnnyWash1 · 15 Mar 2006, 09:06 pm

Not at all. I just believe in the brand and have had nothing but great experience with them. They are an established and successful race brand, and they back up their parts.

low_civic · 16 Mar 2006, 10:08 pm

so does tokico, and neuspeed...and koni...and kyb

~~BingM3~~ · 16 Mar 2006, 10:48 pm

At this point, do not buy springs anymore, it costs more than the car

this is a technical section if you have nothing good to say then don't say anything.

Yes, and the only one there that develops springs in house is Neuspeed, which is a decent brand. KYB, Koni and Tokico are all shock/strut manufacturers. If you read my post, I recommend combining the GC sleeves (which are Eibach) with Koni yellows.
