ok... so i have a 2001 civic ex coupe.
i plan on swapping over the following parts:
- tokico blue HP struts
- tein s tech springs (1.3/1.4)
**OR**
- tanabe df210 springs (1.8/1.8)
- front and rear adjustable camber kit
I would like to know your opinion on which springs to run, i have both but i'm debating on if the tanabe's will be too low (or poor quality?) I plan on installing a mugen or spoon style lip kit which should decrease the ground clearance by another 1-2 inches..
Also (and more importantly), What other suspension components would be required to install this setup? Strut mount kit ($50?), strut boots? bump stops?
Thanks!
