I'm doing what you want to do.
You don't have to change out your stock shocks, but it is highly recommended since they will most likely blow out shortly arterwards. The ride will just get very bouncy.

I'm going with Ground Control coilover sleeves since I already have Bilstein HD's.
Too low!

You can keep your stock shocks for a while if you dont go too low. The should hold up pretty well. If you have the money go for the ground control coilovers. They are the best.
yeah, I recommend getting ground control coilover sleeves and koni yellows or bilstein HDs like what LX98Civic has. also be sure to get the camber kit for the front like they suggested and yeah, just do the washer trick for the back (can't be done in the front)
so if i want mine to be adjustable do i get adjustable shocks or adjustable springs? or both? and how much would dropping cost total?
600 bucks? thats it? cause the koni yellows are like 500 bucks and the ground control adj springs are like 335 and the camber kit is 325 those prices are at modacar.com
also what is the diff between adj coilovers and adj springs?
Camber kit 325??? what??

Now way man... 325... no way.. if you spend 325 on a camber kit.. you got fisted...

You can get a whole setup, camber kit, shocks, and coilovers, for around 800 bucks.. I think 600 is shhoting low.. unless he got a hookup or something... But you definitely wanna get a whole stup.. i did the cheap thing and just got springs and sleeves.. and i am paying for it now... talk about a rough ride....

Yeah, I was going to say more like $800.

Bilstein HD's = $410
GC's = $330 ($40 extra for the adapters for Bilstein and Koni Yellows)

I would just go with full coilovers but I already have the HD's :rolleyes:
