I'm looking for a MILD drop that won't require camber arms or new shocks. I've done the reading but the search on here is kinda weird and I'm really just looking for testimonials...If you have one of these 4, throw in a photo!

Ideally I get a 1 inch drop all around and reduce the 4x4 look without becoming a scrape machine.

Megan is the cheapest, is anyone running those on a hatchback?

Thanks all

I voted Eibach but that, whiteline, or H&R are all good options in my book.

I think that’ll be the consensus.

I know the Megan stuff is, you know, cheap, I just like how it’s exactly a 1 inch drop not .8

I voted for the proline but personally I went with the Megan kit and I like my car albeit the drop on the rear is a bit more than on the front but not enough to bother me.

Personally I see no need to drop lower and start having to fix camber issues and accelerated shock wear.

I love how it rides now, just like oem + just a bit stiffer and nice.

Remeber to get an alignment done a couple weeks after the springs are installed...
And during the installation whoever is working on the car must take precious care of your CV boots.
.they are easy to rip...

If i had to do it again I would use some cardboard to shield them from the other sharp metal parts around...

Love your car! You're just proving coupe is the best looking civic, and it's not even close.
Thanks man...indeed it doesnt take much for the coupe to look good ?

Not as practical but sure is sexy as hell.

Check out the Ktuned springs. Has a decent increase in spring rate but not as stiff as Swift and has the 1 inch lowering you're looking for.

I plan on putting D2's on mine(already purchased) they lower 2 in. all the way around with out having to cut anything...im hoping not to scrap to much as CALI has some terrible dips and holes in the roads
