thanks guys for all your help at this point i think i am just going to go with the skunk 2 springs and the adjustable tokicos hopefully they will drop my car about 2 to 2.5 inches unlike my 4 1/2 inch drop on the civic which screwed up my whole shit.

4.5 is a little extreme. im down 3 in the from 3.5 in the back, but im on a full race damper kit so yea i can imagine how that screwed up your whole underneath and your suspension components. gl with your set up.

I have Tokiko Blue shocks matched up with some H&R springs on my ek hatch, and i love them. they dropped my car just enough to close the fender gap and handle awesome with awesome everyday ride quality. Not saying they are the best but maybe best bang for the buck. I plan to get a full tein street/race setup in the end though.

Well I had droped my 99 cougar with ebiach Prokit and it sucked till I had put a bodykit on there .I couldnt even put anything below 18s on it when I went to trade it for the 2006 civic Or it would be dragin the ground . That brings me to this ? I know ebiach has the sportline kit out for the 2006 civic , but what about Tein ? They have their Si all hooked up why havent they relesed any setups for my car yet . Im thinkin of getting some 16s and slammin the sportline on there . Do you think that would look cool ? I would perfer Tein due to the lower drop , but then agian if they dont have it i cant do it
