Default drop springs.. which best for daily driving comfort?

i know its been talked about alot ... but searching has found me nothing realy usable....

this will be on my 99 EX civic....


im looken for some drop springs to drop my civic..... i was gonna air strut it... BUT i just got to much stuff i need to upgrade so im being realistic.... and just want to get some drop springs for now...
well as well as any alignment or any camber kits needed, but from what i read i shouldnt need them for anything under a 1.5inch drop.


BUT ive never had drop springs so i realy dont kow what kinda quality ride these things have...
and since i drive my civic daily i want a nice soft ride... i dont race my ride so i dont need it to be stuff and all that!


can someone realy help me out with what would be my best product for my application?

ok well found the one site http://www.procivic.com/pages-produc...h-springs.html

but what kinda chamber kits would i need for them? didnt know they droped them that low...

would 205-40-17s still clear? or would i have to roll the rear fenders as well?


edit holy crap.... ruffly 200bucks for a front camber kit... dam...

how much of a drop do i have to have to need those camber kits?
i was thinking ruffly 400bucks for the parts and alignment...

You got to be careful with the s-techs on ebay, some of them are counterfits. Ill include a link so you'll know what to look for.
