Gonna be dropping the S when I get it. Have the Eibach prokit on my civic now, and love it. But I've heard great things about the other 2 brands. So...post your pics with these springs, and state your opinions, please.

Thanks!

Koni shocks-KG/MM Super Sports.




Ride is better than stock. Turn in is great. Handling is fantastic. The only problem I have had is that I can not get less than -2.0 deg of rear camber with this set up. I have the Konis set on the bottom perch. This gives about 1/2 in of drop and the springs give about .7 in drop.

I think the improvements are mostly because of the Koni shocks though. They are fabulous. I wouldn't do the springs without doing the shocks also.

Hey darkknight,

You have one of the nicest S' I've seen...

A couple of questions about your setup - (1) Are you running with stock shocks, and (2), how would you compare the ride to stock?

My apologies if you've answered these questions a 1,000 times before...

Thanks!

Thank you kindly. :tips hat:

Yes I do run with stock shocks, and I feel the ride is pretty much the same as stock. The ride is a little stiffer but I feel that its due to the 18's not the springs.

Sleepy,

The stock shocks have a fairly stiff compression. This is what affects how the car rides. I don't believe changing springs is going to affect the ride much.
