Thought I would share this with you guys.
Before I bought my Neuspeed sports / Bilstein HD's I researched the
$h!t out of the companies. I was just going through my e-mail deleting all the old stuff and found this:

My e-mail:

I will be lowering my car with Neuspeed Sport
springs
(1.5"f / 1.7"r) and looking for good shocks. Do you guys have anything
that
will compliment the springs well? Thanks a lot, Jonathan

KYB's reply:

Jonathan,

thank you for your inquiry. We do not recommend using KYB product with
a
lowering of this much. Your shocks will bottom out and be damaged (very
common with lowered vehicles).
If you wish to lower your vehicle, KYB only recommends the use of
Eibach
ProKit springs with either our GR2 or AGX products.

regards,

Just noticed an error on my part in the e-mail :p

Should be 1.7" f / 1.5"r :D



Here is another I sent Neuspeed :cool:

Hi, I am ready to order the Neuspeed Sport
springs(1.5" r / 1.7" f), but need to know what shocks
you guys recommend. I get no where asking people
since I get mixed opinions on this. The car is a 98
Civic LX (sedan). I just want a ride that will be
close to stock as possible. I'm in it for the looks
not the handling or racing.

Thanks for your time

Jonathan

Neuspeed's reply:

For a close to stock ride, I would recommend the Bilstein Shocks. For
more
detailed information, please call us.

Thank you for your inquiry.

At least they were all honest! KYB could of e-mailed me back "Our shocks with Neuspeed sports are about the best combo you can get...."
