Suspension help 98 Civic ex
Put new rims and tires on about a month ago and there 17's and the car is sitting to high off the ground for me. Im wanting to drop the front an inch and a half and the rear just an inch. Im worried about the whole tire ware and all that and heard i should do camber kits. Need advice on what i should do with my whole deal lol. So if you guys could help me out maybe even send me some links where i can buy some w.e.

Tien S-Tech's are pretty decently priced. Check those out, car will look good with them and those wheels, might need camber plates though.

imho id go with pro-kits, the drop is a bit more in the rear than you want, but the camber in the front is almost no more than stock, and then just go with po man camber kits for the rear, 2 bolts and some washers, not sure how exactly to do that but ive seen it done it works great

TEIN is a very good Spring to go with, But there are a bunch of other companys you can go with and not spend as much money.
There's also Neuspeed (Sport), H&R (Sport), Eibach (Pro-Kit), Suspension Techniques, TENRAI SR Performance, Skunk2, ZENN, Etc.
They all offer a Race Style and Sport Style application.
If your looking for a minor drop, "Sport" is the way you want to go.
That will keep you under a 2" drop.
"Race" Applications are always more agressive of a drop, 2.25" and lower.
Just Some Examples for you....
TEIN S-Tech = $145 shipped
HONDA CIVIC 96-00, SPRING RATE - 235/140,
1.9" FRONT DROP 1.7" REAR DROP
