i just installed a pro kit and i like it a lot. if your dropping it 2 inches than you will have to be a lot more carfeful. if your planning on driving in the winter with snow and stuff, than you should use the pro-kit for sure. Im in New England and i have to drive this all year so i played it safe. PM me if u have any questions.

If you're looking to lower your car properly, I'd recommend looking at some Tein BASIC coilovers (~$700 shipped)...

That way you could make your car look stock height, but change it lowered in about 20 minutes... also, your car will handle better...


And I know a place that could get you some Tein SS for about $900... not a bad price! :thumbup:!

Um, what is an Eibach Proline? They sell two different kind of springs, Pro Kit and Sportline.

Bah you don't need adjustable coilovers with adjustable shocks just to lower the car "properly."

All you need are some lowering springs and some upgraded shocks. You can get a set of H&R Sport springs and some Koni Red shocks for under 500 bucks.

Yeah my friend just installed some H&R Sports on his teg and it made the car look at least 10X better than it did at stock height.

i have integra type r springs mated with KYB AGXs. i really like the setup. the springs arent too aggressive, and gives a slightly lower stance than the non-type r springs.
