I want to lower my Si with the stock wheels. I was thinking about the Tein S-Techs, is the ride good and comfortable? I've heard that it's too soft. Anything similar to stock suspension will be fine for me. I was also thinking about Eibach Sportlines, says it lowers the car by 1.75 if I remember right, but does it get rid of the gap? If there are any other brands you guys would like to suggest, I'd appreciate it. Also, I've heard if you lower your car past a certain height, you must get a camber kit? Well, thanks for any response...

I've got the Eibach Sportlines and I think the drop is perfect. Ride is still good too.

H&R sport. Perfect drop for stock rims. It's about a 2-inch drop all the way around. The Teins were originally made for the 01+ Civic Coupes and so that's why their soft b/c their spring rate was tailered for the coupe not the hatchback. The H&R sports (Part #51866-2) were made especially for the EP hatch. Here's a pic of my EP with the H&R sports:

I just lowered with eibach sportlines. After the drop you get about a two finger gap. I'm not really a fan of the slammed look. But I think the sportlines is a good drop and rides like stock. The eibach are great quality. I would highly recommend.
