I own a 96 Civic. What springs should I use? I just want a nice sporty look, not the lowridder look.

Neuspeed ? race springs ? 2.25" F 2.0? rear

Eibach ? Sportline ? 1.8? front 1.8? rear

InTrax ? lowering springs ? 2.0? front 1.8? rear

Which of these kits would you guys recommend??

Also, when is too low that you would need a camber kit? I do not want to mess around with having to use a camber kit. But I also do not want my tires to wear if I lower my car a little bit. How low can I go without using a camber kit?

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

If anyone has any pictures of their civic with any of these kits on, please post. Thank You.

eibach

if it was me i would go ahead w/ the camber kit. buy it once and do it right IMO. they can be expensive but almost always cheaper than a set of tires

Personally i just bought a set of the Eibach sportsline springs. I should have them on by the weekend and i'll post pics. As for a camber kit i didn't get one but thats only because i need new tires next summer any way so i don't car about uneven wear. Also what size rims are you running. This is goingto make a big differance in how low the car is. if you take to of the same cars with the same suspeneion set ups but one has 15" rims and the other has 17" rims the car with 15" rims is goingto be lower.
