those arent real coilovers, its a conversion kit. i know like 14 kids with honda civic si's that have them.

if you want a drop go get some springs, if you want performance get a good coilover... and expect to spend 1500+.

check out RRMs site, they have coilovers/dampners. I believe the basic coilovers are less than a grand, but then after tax and shipping it might not be. and if you just get springs, you might want to look into aftermarket shocks soon incase the stock ones blow.

they may be garbage but they look pretty!! lol, but seriously i just bought progress springs for my 03 ES and ill be installing them thursday, so if you want to know anything about them let me know, but from what ive heard they are one out of three of the best lowering springs for the ES, well at least thats what everyone on evolutionm has been telling me. (HINT: thats why i got them)
