What is the best lower spring out there?

[07cobaltsssc]

I have been debating if i want to get some lowering springs for the car, but i dont know what is the best spring out there, and i dont think i really want to spend the money for some coilovers. I dont want to buy a brand that is not good so i am in need of some help to pick these springs out.

well do you want a good quallty ride? or go low as fuck?

[07cobaltsssc]

a good quality ride and somewhat low

[dman090]

then i say pedders springs

[07cobaltsssc]

alright sweet

Thats what i was going to say is Pedlers.
Now if you want really good handling but still stock like ride and also mild drop that puts you at the same height of a stock civic then go with pro Kit.
Here is mine with Pro Kit.

I measured 1 Inch drop in the front and 2 in the rear.

Okay cool, yeah i have the rear sway bar already and i do like the ride of it now, but i want some really good handling. What about the sportline kit? Good idea or not really?

[bbrewbaker]

The sportlines are one the best looking drops. That's what I thought about going with.
But i've heard that the ride real rough due do to the lack of travel.

I really dont know what to go with, some of my buddies are saying spend the money for the coilovers and some just say go with springs, but i do kinda like a rough ride sometimes. I think its going to be between the pro kit and the sportline kit.

If i do these springs myself, are they hard to do? Also, will i need anything else done for these springs (other suspension components, alignment) anything else?

[bbrewbaker]

It's not really that hard.
It took me about 3 hours to do mine.
That was with my dad helping. I have done them before so that helped.
You will need to have someone to help with the install.
You will need to get your alignment done afterwards.

To bad your your not in PA because I would help with the install.

Here is the walk through I used.
