Your link does not work, but i have gotten cheap ebay special coil-overs before and they suck. Sure they drop your car, but they are so stiff that the car will bounce and when going up a inclined driveway your back wheel will come off the ground, thats how stiff they are. Save your money man, get racing springs instead of coil overs your body and car will thank you in the future.

if the only problem is that they are to stiff ill just by softer springs from demon tweeks or something

This might work, but coil over springs are much shorter than even normal lowering springs, and with not as much spring the shorter spring has a tuff time condencing or retracting to absorb all those harsh bumps. But your car will be able to corner good, with stiff springs.

DO NOT BUY THESE CHEAP IMITATION COILOVERS!!!! you will have so much clicking noise, harsh ride and crappy handling. just get springs. i just got neuspeed springs for my prelude off ebay for 50 bucks. can't beat that. i have tokico illumina type r's in the civ.

I got spw coil overs with stock strut, dude it looks good but the ride sucks, and I think you would save your self time and hassle and money, if you get the nicer set up like tokico blues or something. I have to save up for a whole new suspension now.

Isn't coilover and spring are the same?? except you can't adjust the ride height of the spring one.

coilover are short more compact than springs and have a aluminum part that you twist to raise and lower. springs are just like stock but they let the car ride lower and there is no adjustment to ride hight.

RE: new coil overs
 
The stiffness of the coilover depend on the company too right?? So better company means better ride comfort while still allowing the car lowered. Whats the best company out there for coilovers???

I would say Tokico or Koni. Tein is probably the most popular, but I don't really like the ride as much.
