It really starts with your budget and what you're comfortable spending. I would recommend coilovers over springs. There's good and better in both categories. Coilovers are typically around $800-$1500 and the offer more adjustability and usually a smoother ride. Springs usually start around $200-$400 and provide a much more cost effective solution, just don't expect to get as low with springs as you could with coilovers.

I dunno much about springs, but I've heard good things about tien and eibach. I've had coilovers on previous cars and I highly recommend K sports. I just got a set for my 2012 si coupe for $800, retail is $1400 I believe though. I'll have them installed very soon!!

Thanks, that helps a lot. it gives me a place to start researching. From what you say the coilovers sound like the way to go, I'd rather pay more money for quality and adjustability of quick and ease any day.

BC Racing Coilovers. Height on the rear was set to max. front could go lower.

 

[webby]

so you're as low as you can go in the rear, correct?

 

[S2KJAY]

Unfortunately.

Unfortunately.

What wheels are those and which exhaust? That's a badass Civic.

 

[WhiteFG4]

Then take out one or both of the lock rings............seriously. you dont need lock rings if its already as low as it can go.

 

[momo]

s2kj, hows the ride? stiff? im surprised BC's only go that low in the rear. any fender mods or others to avoid scraping at that height?

 

[S2KJAY]

Hey, rides stiff only because I have my dampers set to Max.Yes, rolled fenders and had to trim the BC struts with a dremel to clear the rim
