Hey all,
I just installed KYB AGX's to my 99 Civic Si. What recommendations do you guys have for coils? I was told the H&R Sport springs go well with them but I would like to hear more opinions.
Also, I want to lower my car a little over an inch. When I buy the springs, are they going to come with the right height? Or do I have to do something to them to lower my car?
Thanks,
S.

Eibach are also good springs.
It should be about the height. But the springs have to settle to the height that you want it to be and that take effect in about a week. When I mean settle...they drop a little bit lower.

ok, you got me convinced. I'm really close to buying now. But how do I install them in? I replaced my shocks recently and using a spring compressor was a real pain. will i have to use that again? Do I have to do any cutting or anything else to set the ride height?

all u have to do is replace the OEM springs with the new lower springs.
and yes, u'll need to use the spring compressor again.
U do not need to cut anything, just put them on with ur new shocks together....

I forgot to mention......
u'll need to use spring compressor only for removing ur oem springs.
As for installing lower spring, u can just put them straight on the floor and compress urself by ur hands. Then let ur friend lock it. It's easy cuz lower springs are shorter than oem springs. That's what we did~~
