Neuspeed is the 2inch drop but then H&R is a 1.6 in the front and a 1.3 in the rear keep in mind this is for a 2006 civic sitting on 17x7

Yeh I think we are gonna go with H&R due to the reliability of the springs we aren't to familiar with Neuspeed but we have seen it allot in forums pages . We will probably just wait till we can buy some Konis and make sure we have a good set-up no need in screwing up a new car .

you won't screw up the car, you will just blow the shock quicker because where it would come to rest with the lowered spring its like its being compressed with the factory spring, so when it compresses with the lowering spring, it will be like pulling a dukes of hazzard on the shock every time you hit a bump, plus you'll look stupid, but other than that it ain't shit

A general principle: Cheaper shocks wear out in about a year.
Chi Town Brat swears by Ground Control shocks......see where she gets hers. My $90 Tokico's went dead in about a year, but I plan to rebuild them.

Adjustable shocks allow shock travel with lowered springs, but they are not cheap.-Bob
