Lowering Springs, Rims

[SethWolf]

I was wondering what kind of lowering springs are best. I have a 96 Civic EX 4 door w/ stock everything. How hard is it to swap srings? And what does everyone think about Rage Wheels?

There is no such thing as the "best" spring. H&R, Neuspeed, & Eibach make quality products. Lowering springs aren't enough, you should also replace the factory struts. As far as install it's simple if you know what your doing and have the proper tools, the main tool is a spring compressor. Yes you can do it without a spring compressor but I will not give that information because it's DANGEROUS and improper.

If you pruchase any of the springs listed they will include detailed instructions as will the aftermarket struts.

i have had bad luck with t ok ico andd neuspeed in the past, my integra skunk2's are in my hatchback right now to make a stiffer ride, its a nice setup. i like skunk2 coilovers the best, though there are more expensive ones out there, i cast my vote for skunk2

I ran H&R sport springs on stock shocks for a year and they weren't to bad, recently upgraded to KYB AGX. highly recomended, good ride. I had a set of Rage vigor 17" rims, rode them for about a year, they rub hard on 1.75" lowering, cornering hard was scary cause I thought my wheel wells were gonna come flying out. My .02
