I'm wondering how it will look also. I don't think I'll go with sprint, that seemed to low for me.

the hieght doesn't matter much for stock shocks unless you go REALLY low.

however, the spring rates do. you could get springs with double the spring rate as the stock springs, with the same ride hieght, and you'd blow the shocks in 2 weeks. but you could get springs that drop you 2" with near stock spring rates, and have the shocks last for many thousands of miles.

you're exactly right. You seem to know a lot! I'm glad you're on this site! Welcome!

it depends on how you drive. They could last anywhere from 10k miles to 50k miles. Just depends on the driver
civic hatch boi: I didn't receive an email from him last night. I'm at work right now, so I can't access my computer to see if he sent them. I'll check after work.
