Default IMPROVE/INSTALLING NEW SUSPENSION

Hello

I have a 1996 CIVIC and I want to replace alot of the suspension because of the high mileage and beating that its takes on the city streets(with potholes and sh*t like that).!!!!

I want to replace alot of the stock suspension with aftermarket performance or high quality components!!!!

THis car in no way is going on the track it's just for the street!!!
and I'm considering a bit of a drop!!!!

Any suggestions!! on high quality suspension part (like tie rod ends, bearing, ball joints, control arms ETC)

and WHAT do you guys suggest for shock, struts and spring(considering coil-overs)?
I'm likely going with Koni Yellows shocks and struts and no clue for spring or coilovers!!!

HELP!!!!!!

if you are looking for a nice ride with a little bit of drop i would recomend just getting some springs, not coilovers. they ride great...and most of them will give you a nice 1.6 drop. not to much not to little. as far as stuts go...the koni yellows are nice, a little overpriced but nice. i install alot of the tokico blues (non-adjustable). they are a good price, have great warrenties, and ride awsome. also the kyb's are nice too. with a 1.6 or so drop, your camber shouldnt be to bad. take it to an alignment shop at soon as you get the springs and struts on. if they say they cant align it then you will have to get a camber kit....but you shouldnt. skunk2 makes the best from and rears ive seen for our cars and they are easy as hell to install. as far as ball joints and stuff go....you dont have to worry about that. it will just end up being waisted money
