Eibach Vs. NEuspeed (with Bilsteins)

i have a '97 integra, and i want to put on about a 2" drop, but i can't decide which springs to use.

i know Eibach says that the sportlines give a 1.7", but i've read reviews saying that it's either uneven, or not enough of a drop.

i'm also thinking about neuspeed race springs. they're supposed to give a 2" drop in the front, and a 1.75" in the back, but i'm not sure how good of a spring they are when compared to the sportlines. i've heard that they sag over time, and i've also heard that the drop in the front is way more than 2" (but it was for an accord)

i've decided that i'm going to go with Bilstein shocks, so with these choices, which would you recommend?

Neuspeed Race springs drop you 2.25" or 2.5" all around. Definitely low and bouncy.

Most springs will drop your car evenly. I've seen Eibach kits and it's a nice drop. I had the Neuspeed Sports (1.8" drop) and my car was equal all around.

But the best thing are of course coilovers which you can lower and raise your car to your liking. Plus you can get your car corner weighted later if you ever decide to do so.

First off, Eibach's are GREAT SPRINGS, i know a total of 8 people that have bought them after me and they sit fine, and that 1.7" drop on Sportlines is GARBAGE, it settle's a lot lower.... i wanted about 1.7", i should have gotten the ProKit which says 1.0" drop, which should settle to like 1.5-1.7..... and Neuspeeds are also very good, so they are both comparable, so it all comes down to the price which is a matter of like 5-10 dollars........

A bouncy ride can be caused by not enough dampening. Neuspeed race springs have very high linear rates (i.e. somewhere around 600 lbs/in). If your shocks are not capable of handling such a high spring rate your car will bounce. The shock simply is not capable of controlling the spring's movement (and that is the job of a shock absorber).

Peace out,
