Question Mild drop recommendation?

What is a quality brand of springs for a mild drop for a 00 Civic SI? I have used Eibach ProKit before, but I am thinking maybe going just a little lower...

i like teins so would go for the tein ss coilovers, it's adjustable so you can adjust the height anytime to your liking. or on the cheaper side the tein s-tech spring with some decent shocks.

What is the drop on the Tein and H&R?

How about Megan springs? They advertise a 1.7 inch drop. Are Megans any good? Any pics of a Civic on Megan springs?

dont go megan. I have s techs on my car (they were free so i cant complain) but the ride is pretty good. However, do NOT get anything from Tein such as their coilovers. The tein shocks are garbage and you will have to have them rebuilt quite frequently. Koni yellows and ground controls are a time tested setup that many people swear by. if youre baller enough, get some d2 racing coilovers

...same excellent quality as mine only lower. Personally, I don't recommend going lower, but if you don't mind crawling over parking lot/mall entrances, driveways, and speed bumps, These are great springs.

I put Tein S-techs on mine with OEM shocks. Rides perfect. Maybe a little more drop would of been nice. Also some LC arms works even better.
