That's a sharp lookin' ride you have there, NESG, welcome.

I think rough comes with the territory of 18's and lowering springs, but I am sure these guys will have a few suggestions other than giving me your wheels and springs.

try puting 17's on it, the 18's are pretty much too big for it, plus the 17s should smooth out the ride a little. 17s wont rub in the wheelwells either.

Yep, what they said. The Civic wheel well only allows so much clearance, and with 18 inch wheels, you have to have thinner sidewalls. And also, the more your tire tread wears down, the rougher you ride will get. 17's will give you more sidewall, hence more cushion and a more tolerable ride. Your Civic looks real nice BTW.[sm=smiley20.gif]

Edit: You may try some aftermarket shock absorbers with dampening adjustment. Sometimes the factory absorbers don't take too well with being lowered too far past the stock height...
