Best deal going are SVT Focus springs and dampers. You can usually find them dirt cheap. They don't lower the car drastically but they offer a great ride for a daily driver.

I was never a fan of the Eibach springs. Check out Apex and H&R. They offer a more raked look with a bit more of a drop in the front than the back. Every Focus I've seen with Eibach springs looks lower in the rear than in the front...which, in my opinion, doesn't look right.

this coming from someone who fails at originality being a civic owner
lets look at two words here "super cheap", thats a key phrase to the quality it will deliver. "do it everyone does it" hahaha ok, lets be a zombie and follow something a shitload of other people have done(own a modded honda civic, props to you though, its not rice) "Red JDM c/o's" i dont even know what to say lmao

i had SVT springs in mine at one point and they had a nice ride to them, i wanted alittle lower though so I went with a full eibach pro kit, if you want to know what the ride is like let me know ill take you for a spin in it so you can feel how it rides/handles.

but i do agree with a previous post.. OEM tails please lol just my opinion but im not a fan of the bugeye tails look and only if you want to slam the ground, get H&R's, my 1st kit was an H&R kit and i slammed/scraped repeatedly
