Yeah, my choice now is:

Neuspeed Race
Koni Yellow
Skunk or Ingalls front camber kit
Longer bolts/washers/shims on rear

Then the misc. tie bars, strut bars, etc...

You are really indecisive. You change your mind daily. Are you a woman by chance? :db:

No I'm not a woman but I don't want to spend $700 in suspension only for it to suck in handling and such...I don't make $$ out my ass so I want to be sure from the getgo...

You should have a good suspension with that set up.

But is it true that all Civic springs are the same. Hatch, coupe or sedan? I kind of find that hard to believe sinec the hatch is a lot lighter and the coupe is aswell lighter then the sedan. If it is...then I'll get it. But I do need a few more opinions on being the same for all models...thanks.

Most companies don't bother making different springs for the different body styles. As far as the springs' acutal dimensions, yes, they're identical. I think even OEM springs are the same for lower models (DX, LX, CX, VX) across body type. I think Si and EX have slightly higher rates. But OEM springs are so soft, it doesn't really make a difference anyway. Unless you see a spring set that says specifically "coupe" or "sedan" or "hatch," you can assume its the same spring. I think thats the case with all the major lowering spring types (neuspeed, H&R, Eibach, etc).

To me the neuspeed and koni setup would be nice. I'm on neuspeed sports right now and love them. This is my first suspension setup and it's taught me alot. Doing mostly autox with my car. Was going to change to the neuspeed race but found out that there spring rate is lower than what i thought. I think you might be happier with the H&R's or Eibach over the neuspeed. But it's your choise.

Neuspeed is stiff then H&R. I called the two companies and got spring rates from them. Eibachs are Linaer so I wouldn't touch them.

Talked to neuspeed several time to check their rates. Race are rated at 285-295-front 165-175 rear. Alittle soft to me for what i'm doing. But it';s not my car.
