Default lowering civic, need help deciding on brands

hey everyone, looking to drop my civic in the near future. not really sure what brands/types are good. i do know i want adjustible shocks. iwas looking at some KYB shocks and some neuspeed yellow sport springs. i want to maintain a GOOD and smooth ride. probably going to drop it around 1 3/4. is there going to be anything else i need beside front camber arms?

thanks

I have Ground Control coilovers and KYB AGX shocks and I love them.

the KYBs will blow out eventually and if you're using lowering springs you won't be able to get them warrantied. I have Konis in one car and KYBs in the others, the difference is definitely noticeable, the Konis are a million times better.

You have a red car and you want yellow springs?

Personally, I'd go black springs (to avoid taking attention away from the wheels), but that's me. Hopefully, I'll have my Eibachs, soon.

LOL! Do people actually pick their springs based on color?!?

Koni Yellows (Sport) are what I would go with for shocks.
Koni Reds are cheaper but they are valved for slightly softer springs (compared to the Yellows). But that's OK for most daily drivers
