Really going at the new hatch

[reikoshea]

Well for those of you who pay attention to me, you know a buddy of mine (chevy guy) got a civic hatch. he really likes it, but doesnt like how high it rides. he is a lil strapped for cash and wants to lower the car. performace ability isnt a must for him (since he thinks cars should only be fast in a straight line). Do yall see any problem with him going with a skunk2 or apc (something like that) coil over kit. I know they arent true coil overs, but for his application, i think they might work.

H&R sport springs will run him around $150 shipped on Ebay.

I truely believe that for springs alone, you just can't beat neuspeed.

Best I've ever ridden on/worked with.

well money was apparently a REALLY big issue, went with skunk2 springs for 118 bucks

I know their coil overs are about as good as it gets, but i cant speak for their springs.

Got the H & R Sports and love em. Would suggest better shocks/struts as well though.

I've seen mixed reviews... the people I know personally who own them love the Tein springs, but some people bitch about them not being stiff enough. I don't think they're meant to be serious performance springs- just lowering with a nice ride that's a bit stiffer than stock.
