Lowering Springs 91CRX - what's good?

I want to get my CRX lowered - what springs are good?.... I just had my shocks/struts replaced a few months ago with new KYBs - non adjustable - in this case, adjustable refers to the softness of the ride? I should be able to use these shocks with whatever coilovers I get?

Thanks!

I would have to agree on the Eibachs. It's a great spring and like crx_fanatic said you wont be dissapointed.

Cool, thanks for the advice...

So I should be able to use my new KYB shocks even though they're not adjustable?

And what about camber kits - any suggestions?

you can use your springs with your shocks, you might have to knock off the lower seat if you get coilovers though, might. i have eibach sportlines on my 90 civic si and theyre mint. need shocks though, theyre a little soft for the ride height, but you already got those so you should be ok. adjustable shocks usually refers to the dampening and rebound, however, there are koni's where you can adjust the height.

Coilovers...

Cool... looks like springs are gonna be more cost effective for me... I just don't want my car to bounce all over the place, that's mostly from cutting down the stock springs, right?

From what I've seen online, coilovers are more expensive than springs... any benefit, other than being able to adjust the ride height?

Coilovers are also more bouncy then springs and SOMETIMES they make these annoying squeaky noise! I'd rather just go with springs but its ur choice
