Default how much of a drop

ok, i got a 96 civic coupe and i'm torn on what springs to go for. i dont wanna go to low, and i dont want it look stupid because its not low enough. Skunk 2 has some w/2.5in in the front, but i think it may be too low. tire size is 195/50/r15 if that helps...

A Civic looks great when there isn't any gap between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender/quarter. Unfortunately, when you go this route, you'll have to plan in advance the route you take unless you want to high center on stuff.

As for what specific springs to go with, more Civic savvy folks will chime in soon.

H&R Race. And Konis. Or AGXs if you're on a tight budget.

Coilovers????

Find the height you want.

I assume you aren't going for stellar optimum track performance here

You must not have much experience with many other springs.
