depends on how much you wanna spend. anything is possible. you can even pay nothing and cut your stocks, but thatd be stupid. or grab a set of $100 springs from ebay and ride stock shocks. or you can get coils and new shocks. it all depends.

no more than $350

I did not want to spend more than $350 dollars in lowering my car about 1.5 IN. So what good combo of products should I buy. Springs, Shocks, Coilovers??

seriously if you want to drop your car, spend the money and get something worth it, like shocks and coilovers, cause if you buy somthing cheap, your ride will be bumpy and shity, the best brand to me for civic suspension is Skunk2 or Apex....

they look like pep boys hubcaps ;x

i say get springs. you sound like you have a definite height you want so just get some springs and you wont spend more than 200$. i prefer coil overs though ;]

and dont forget about your camber, 1.5 isn't too bad of a drop but you still might be running through tires a little quicker

Exclamation Maybe to low....

I droped my car 30 mm, and i have 215mm, 17", 45mm tires.. Once in a while the tires simply don't get enough space ... But I guess it depends on where you drive, and how you drive. But there is NO doubt: the car is irrecognizable after dropping it!!

Just do it - Nike!

At www.inlinefour.com you can get Neuspeed springs and KYB-GR-2 shocks for $350 in a combo deal that they have. Thats a good price.

I just droped KYB AGX Adj struts and Ground Control Coilovers in my 95 honda civic hatch.. the car rides like a dream .. i have it droped 2 inches on stock 14's and there is no finger clearence in the wheel wells... i mean this combonation is one of the best.. i got everything off e bay .. KYB AGX for 320 and cround controls for 290.... so i would say dont waist your times wit springs.. i had them on my 92 G20.. didnt drop the car like i wanted it to.. and the ride was still bouncy..so do it right the first time and get some New Struts and Ground Control Coilovers..
