I don't see why anyone needs to drop a civic 2 inches. Those are the kids I see around my way that are pretty much scraping the damn ground. Just not practical for a civic that is a everyday car.

I say the prokit and sportsline are the best bet. For show most ppl get whatever suspension that limits the amount of wheel gap. So race I can see helping but I would rather get sportsline if going for show. And race springs would of course be used if you are tracking the car which you are not, and then you would need to upgrade your suspension. I don't care what anyone on here says. If you drop your car 2 inches you will need to change your shocks as well. I know that stocks shocks and shit on civics can't handle a 2 inch drop and hold up for very long.

Not familiar with the HKS on civics... Only know about them on supras and ish. I say that would be a good drop as well. So anything but the race lowering springs, is my suggestion.

It all depends on if you want to obtain some of the stock ride comfort. Or do you not mind a harsh ride?

Use Bilstein on my VW's. They did the job for me, with no complaints from me. Actually helped install a H&R/Bilstein combo last weekend on a friends 20th aniversary edition GTI.

I mean what are you looking for. Just something that will make your ride look better cause that wheel gap is incredibly nasty, or you want handling or both?

Ya That Gap Is Bad.. Nothing I Can Do Until Its Dropped.. I'm Mainly Dropping It For Better Looks.. But Obviously Handling Would Be A Plus As Well..
