i was tring to find some lowering springs for my stock/hyb gr-2 shocks. i only want a 1.5-2 inch drop. and ive read that these springs are good for stock shocks. but i also read that they aint made for civic sedans. anybody know if they can be used on sedans and is there a different feel on a sedan then on a coupe/hatch. thanks.

they will work with your sedan, they are designed for use with stock shocks, although upgrading your shocks isn't a bad idea, and i have them and like them a lot. I reocmmend them for a mellow drop that gets rid of wheel gap

well with any drop its best to replace your struts with something better... with my old Stechs i had the HPs and it worked out great while i had that drop. i just wanted to be able to level the car out better and lower so i upgraded all the way to adjustable koni yellow struts and ground control coilovers.

i got them on my coupe. it shouldn't sag, i believe the warranty covers against sagging and i also read somewhere that they won't sag, even if it does shouldn't be noticeable

It's that guy who got banned for bumping up his post count so he could post in the for sale section.
