My stock springs seem to show a sign of wearing. I'm hoping to upgrade them sometime from now.

What brand of lowering/ performance springs are the best for civics? Tein? JDM? etc?

 

i believe many people would agree on Tien....although i could be wrong. probably STechs are what many people here will mention. (that's what they told me when i asked)

 

*tein stechs are great, but if your after a more "stiff" and sporty ride, then get springs w/ a higher spring rate.

 

H&R.

 

search search search.......but a set of Tein S-Tech will run you about $160 and it’s like a 1.8 drop but they work with your stock shocks and you don’t need a camber ki,unless you want just for piece of mind. Here are 4 links from people that have already installed them on here, myself, mynmisoli, 97_nw, and x2100

it all really comes down to spring rates and what you are looking for in a ride. s-techs are usually what a lot of people get who are either looking for a nice look to their ride with a softer spring rate. Also, you can use s-techs with stock shocks, so if you dont want to spend a lot of money, then you can go this route.

Else, if you are wanting the stiffer ride, then go with H&R's or eibach springs. with either of those you will most likely need to replace your stock shocks.

i've heard a few people going with neuspeed springs, but those usually aren't the typical springs people like to buy.
