I am in the market for a new suspension set up. I have a 98SE and wanted something reasonable in price. I have heard that eibach/agx combo has a great ride and performance, but I dont think it is low enough for my tastes. I am looking for a nice drop with a fairly good ride. Guys, please post your opinions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Sprints are lower, but are somewhat harsher than the eibachs. It's pretty much impossible to have a good ride with a low drop due to the decreased suspension travel calling for stiffer springs.

I have Eibachs and 18s, you can see the pics on my page to see if it's really low enough for you. Ride is a bit on the stiff side, but that depends what you're use to. If you ride around in Ferraris all day, then it'll be nothing, but if you're use to soft squishy cars then you might dislike it.

Best way to figure this out is to rank "drop", "ride comfort" and "handling" and let us know how important each of those is and we can pick a spring/shock combo for you. And also check them all out here:

Like Drew Said, If you ride In buicks all day long, then you are gonna feel like you're in a brick, But if you ride in Sports cars or even some of the sport compacts out there, your lowered max will probably feel like nothing... If you were to ask Tom, Njmaxseltd, he will tell you that his frankensteined setup will absorb anything, and by the way he raves, i believe him... It is really up to you in the end, but it all depends on what quality of suspension you value most...I have ridden in a sprint dropped car with blown OEM struts and The only time It bothered me was on the highways in NJ where there were wicked bumps the suspension would bottom out! I wouldn't want those blown struts, but granted I could tolerate them...then again...I'm 19 ...I prefer the performance aspect and can deal with a few bumps so a few hard bumps, so long as they aren't bone jarring wont kill me...Where are your priorities? ....<---damn that was long, Sorry!

My frankensteined cruiser setup rides like a stock max, only 1-3/4 inches lower.

Toks are still holding up. Rears are getting a little soft, I may replace those fairly soon.

Uhh thanks guys....sorry for asking an often repeated question. I used to drive a modded civic that was dropped with eibach sportlines (1.6 inch drop). I think i will try sprints, or maybe GC coilovers, my civic's ride was pretty harsh. So, I'll go ahead and try to go lower than eibach/H&R since im used to harsh rides, thanks for the response guys.....
