ok I am going to buy just lowering springs not coilovers, and no camber kits. I plan on dropping it 1.5 inches and wandering if i will run into any problems with just that. I have a 98 honda civic. Thanks

not really no. you will run a little harder on the insides, so they'll wear out faster, but not a huge amount. the least you should do is go ahead and stick a washer or two on your rears, so at least those will be correct. since with any suspension adjustment, you should get an alignment.

It's going to be really bouncy on stock shocks...

i'm rolling 1.6 in drop with h n r sports, no problems really, no shocks, camber kit, nothing. my tires wear a little bit faster though. yeah, stock shocks will be bouncy, wish i could afford to get some tokicos right now, but i have to finish my turbo project first.

Save up for shocks. Don't do a 1/2 job, do it right the first time and you will not regret it. Aftermarket springs will blow your stock shocks within a couple of months.

Tominos, do you have a pic of your car with the drop?

Even with the Eibach ProKit you need to by performance shocks? I have heard that since its not an agressive drop they will be fine by themselves. I bought them but havent put them on yet. They will lower my car 1.4"/1.3" and I have heard that I will have no problems. If this is true then thats what he can do is it not?
