Default lowering springs

Im dropping my 93' civic coupe, done some research and a lot of people recommended to buy the specific springs that car, so I looked up the eibach pro kit 1.4 F /1.2 R.. product #4017.140.. I want to make sure im buying the right one.. someone please help me and let me know if theres anything else i should be buying besides the springs to install them... shocks etc... i wanna make sure i buy the springs to where they dont give me a bumpy ride when driving. thanks.

You're going to want to buy new struts unless the kit comes with them. I've been thinking about getting the eibach kit as well. Everyone keeps calling me a douche and to get coilovers though. But whatever works for you. Good Luck with the install post some pics when it's done.

Also you might be right at the limit for needing swaybars/links for that clearance.

well put ^^^

the sportline rides like stock because of the progressive design, and the drop is just right. I wouldnt recommend rockin stock struts for too long, simply because theyre not designed to be used with anything but stock springs. A kyb GR2 or Tokico blue should serve you just right.
