I am interested in a similar drop (not very much) but not sure which springs will provide the best performance in handling, ride comfort, drop maintenance (not sag).

In for some discussion...anyone?

Was also thinking about the T1R S Coils but I am thinking now that the drop may be a little too low for my needs.

I went with the pro-kit. I'm happy with what I've got. I think it dropped lower than advertised too, and I've heard multiple people comment on eibachs settling more than others.

I tried the eibachs and the ride was great. The problem was they actually dropped around 2" so I went back to stock. If I could get a spacer and get closer to 1" of drop I would thrilled.

Yeah, I definitely don't want a drop lower than 1.4...so I guess that rules out the Eibachs for me. Hrm.

I have eibach pro-kit..i have 1.5 finger gap in front and like 2 in the rear..its not bad at all. i like the stance and handling of the car much better than stock. if you want to see how it looks on yours check out my pictures. i have a TW GE as well.

I have the eibach pro kit on my civic w/ tokico illuminas, and I absolutely love the ride. I can only hope the ride is equal on the fit.

Are the progress springs progressive? and, are they good springs? They seem to be a good bit less expensive, are they just a good deal or.......?

I'm leaning toward the Progress too...mostly because the drop is not as much as the ProKit. But I want the ride to be nice...hmm.

I experianced Eibach Sportlines + Tokico Blue's and that ride was like STOCK i swear.

Eibach with Tokico makes such a great combination.

Hey everyone,
I am new to the forum and have been trying to make this same decision before I order my springs. Has anyone installed the Progress springs on their car yet? I haven't been able to find anyones input on how they handle and how they ride.

I ended up getting Swift Sport Mach springs and am very glad I did.
Drop looks nice and it rides great!

Yea I have been looking at those Swift springs too, just wasn't sure if it would be worth the extra hundred bucks. Did you get an improvement in handling? and if you have any pictures could you post them?
