I have a 95 civic 4dr, and i plan to lower my car with eibach sportsline. How's the ride gonna be with stock shocks?
I know you guys are going to tell me to get aftermarket shocks, but i don' t have the money.
If the ride is not too bad, then i'll get the shocks later.

The ride will be much improved with the pro-kit, being that those springs are more designed to work with stock shocks.
You will however with the sportlines have a very bouncy ride, also it will be harsh on dips and road turbulance since you will be reducing the shocks travel or compression stroke.
Don't expect to handle any better worse if anything in regards to grip.
But the trade off is you are lowered. :)

also, with the extreme drop provided by sportlines, you'll blow your struts in no time flat, and also create severe negative camber at each wheel, which requires a camber kit to correct.

is 1.75 an "extreme" drop???
All i want is no fender gap, i don't want any aggresive drop....
or is the pro kit enough for me? I have 17" wheels on right now...

The pro-kit is designed to reduce wheel gap while not over taxing your stock shocks, this is the cheapest most effective way to safely lower your car and maintain a quality ride.
